- Moissanite is a gemstone born from the stars. It was first discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan, who later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He discovered microscopic particles of the gem that would eventually bear his name in Arizona, in a crater created by a meteorite that fell to Earth. He initially thought that he had discovered diamonds, but later determined that the crystals were composed of silicon carbide.

Moissanite has a very similar appearance to real diamonds, which makes them a great alternative. The material is made of silicon carbide which is crafted to imitate the same features as natural diamonds. Unlike a lab-grown diamond, moissanite and its numerous crystalline polymorphs are naturally occurring – so, moissanite is a diamond simulant.
