Moissanite is a gemstone made of silicon carbide. It occurs in nature only very rarely, so the moissanite used in jewelry is lab created. It is loved as a brilliant, affordable diamond alternative, with even more fire and rainbow flashes than a diamond.

Is moissanite a real diamond?

No, and we are always upfront about that. Moissanite is its own gemstone, not a diamond. It is, however, a real and very durable stone that looks similar to a diamond at a fraction of the price, which is why it is such a popular choice.

How does moissanite compare to a diamond?

Moissanite is exceptionally brilliant and throws more colorful fire than a diamond, and at around 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale it is very hard and well suited to everyday wear. The main differences are that it is not a diamond, it sparkles with more rainbow flash, and it costs far less for the same size.

What does GH/VS2 mean on your moissanite?

It describes color and clarity, much like diamond grading. GH is a near-colorless color grade, so the stone looks bright white once set, and VS2 means very slightly included, which is eye clean in normal wear. In short, it is a high-quality, white, clean-looking stone.

What is a Herkimer diamond?

A Herkimer diamond is a naturally double-terminated quartz crystal, meaning it has points at both ends, and it is famous for its clarity and diamond-like faces. The name comes from where these crystals were first found, and they are prized for their natural, ready-to-use shape.

Are Herkimer diamonds real diamonds?

No. Despite the name, Herkimer diamonds are a type of natural quartz, not diamond. They are genuine, natural crystals with a beautiful clarity and sparkle of their own, just from a different mineral.

How do I use Herkimer diamonds and moissanite in jewelry?

Raw Herkimer crystals can be bezel or prong set, or you can string the drilled Herkimer bead strands into necklaces and bracelets. Moissanite is faceted and set just like a diamond into rings and earrings, and the flat-back rose cut moissanite sits easily in a bezel setting.

Are these stones durable enough for everyday wear?

Moissanite is excellent for daily wear thanks to its high hardness of around 9.25. Herkimer quartz is softer, at roughly 7 to 7.5, so it is ideal for pendants, earrings and occasional-wear rings, and benefits from a protective setting if worn every day.

How are they sold, and what sizes and colors are available?

Moissanite is sold by the piece or as matched pairs and priced by carat weight, generally from around 0.2 CTW up to 2 CTW and more, mostly near-colorless white with a few light aqua options. Herkimer is sold as single crystals, clusters and bead strands, with sizes from about 5mm up to large 40mm-plus collectable pieces, in clear white.
