Moissanite cocktail ring in Rhodium over 925 Sterling Silver .60 ct sz 7
Moissanite is a gemstone truly out of this world. Henri Moissan, a French chemist, discovered this stone, and it eventually came to bear his name. Originally found at the site of a meteor impact, it took years of testing to verify that moissanite was indeed a new variety of gemstone and not a diamond, as initially thought. The majority of this gemstone used today is synthesized or created in the lab. It also has a moh's hardness of 9.5, just under that of a real diamond but with twice the refraction. All we can say about this ring is that it has exceptional sparkle that just does not show up in the photos. Moissanite is a rare find for us as it is usually only sold in retail jewelry stores or on TV and extremely expensive for a diamond replacement. Because it has so much more refractive colors than a diamond, it is a big seller.
