The Lucia - 1 to 3 Carats Emerald Cut Moissanite Ring with baguette side stones in 18K White, Yellow or Rose Gold

Moissanite is a silicon carbide-based stone that is manufactured in a lab. A thermal growth procedure is used to make it naturally. Moissanite can also be found in nature, but it is extremely rare. Dr. Henri Moissan, a famous chemist who won the Nobel Prize, was the first to discover it. He discovered it in Arizona, at the site of a big meteorite impact. Moissanite is difficult to discover in the earth since there have been so many meteor strikes throughout history.

Moissanite has a feature known as fire, which is a rainbow effect of many colors that radiates from the stone. The level of dispersion, often known as the prism effect, determines the gemstone's fire. When a pure, white light shines into a non-opaque item, it disintegrates into rainbow colors, which then reflect back to the person seeing the stone. Moissanite has a higher dispersion level than any other gemstone, including emeralds, diamonds, sapphires, and rubies, at 0.104.

The amount of shine you'll see in a moissanite stone is measured in brightness. A brightness refractive index, or BRI, is used to determine this. The BRI level of Moissanite can range from 2.65 to 2.69. When compared to a diamond with a BRI of 2.42, moissanite engagement rings are far more brilliant and produce much more sparkle. Moissanite is an excellent choice for an engagement ring for anyone looking for a gleaming band with a lot of fire.
