What Are Moissanite Diamonds?
Moissanite is a brilliant gemstone originally discovered in a meteor crater by French scientist Henri Moissan. While natural moissanite is incredibly rare, the stones used in fine jewellery today are expertly lab-created to achieve exceptional brilliance, durability, and clarity.
At Harper Jewellery, we use only premium quality moissanite, carefully selected for its fire, sparkle, and luxurious appearance.
Does Moissanite Look Like a Diamond?
Yes — moissanite closely resembles a diamond and offers extraordinary brilliance. In fact, moissanite reflects more light than a traditional diamond, creating a beautiful, radiant sparkle.
Many clients choose moissanite for its luxurious appearance, durability, and value, particularly in timeless pieces such as tennis bracelets, tennis necklaces, earrings, and engagement rings.
Is Moissanite Real?
Absolutely. Moissanite is a real gemstone with its own unique properties. It is not cubic zirconia or imitation glass.
Moissanite is:
Lab-created
Highly durable
Ethically produced
Designed for everyday wear
How Durable Is Moissanite?
Moissanite ranks 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest gemstones in the world — second only to diamonds.
This makes it an excellent choice for fine jewellery designed to be worn daily.
