Moissanite: A Brilliant Choice for Your Next Jewelry Purchase

If you’re in the market for a new piece of jewelry, you may be considering various gemstones to adorn it. While diamonds have long been the traditional choice, there’s a new contender on the scene: moissanite. Tushar Gems is proud to offer moissanite as an option for their customers, and in this blog post, we’ll explore why it’s a brilliant choice.

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral, also known as silicon carbide. It was first discovered in 1893 by French scientist Henri Moissan, who found it in a meteorite crater in Arizona. While it was initially believed to be diamond, further analysis revealed that it was a completely new mineral.

Moissanite is incredibly rare in nature, so it’s primarily produced synthetically for use in jewelry. Its chemical and physical properties make it an excellent diamond substitute, with a similar brilliance and fire to a diamond but at a fraction of the cost.

Why Choose Moissanite?

1. Affordability

One of the biggest draws of moissanite is its affordability. While diamonds are incredibly expensive due to their rarity and the extensive mining and cutting process required to obtain them, moissanite is a fraction of the cost. This makes it an excellent choice for those who want a high-quality gemstone without breaking the bank.

1. Durability

Moissanite is also incredibly durable, with a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale (diamonds have a hardness of 10). This means that it’s resistant to scratches and chips, making it an excellent choice for everyday wear.

1. Ethical Sourcing

Another benefit of moissanite is that it’s an ethical choice. Unlike diamonds, which are often associated with conflict and exploitation in certain regions of the world, moissanite is produced in a controlled environment with minimal impact on the environment and human rights.

4. Beauty

Of course, the most important factor in choosing any gemstone is its beauty. Moissanite is a stunning gemstone, with a brilliance and fire that rivals that of a diamond. It’s available in a range of sizes and shapes, from classic round brilliant cuts to unique, custom cuts.

Final Thoughts

At Tushar Gems, we believe that moissanite is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality gemstone that’s both beautiful and affordable. Whether you’re looking for an engagement ring, a pendant, or a pair of earrings, moissanite is a versatile and stunning option that’s sure to impress.
