The World of Lab-Grown Gemstones

Understanding Moissanite: Nature's Brilliant Alternative

Moissanite is a remarkable lab-created gemstone that offers exceptional brilliance and durability at a more accessible price point than traditional diamonds. At LND Jewellery, we're proud to feature this extraordinary gemstone in our global collections.

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite was originally discovered in 1893 by Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. Henri Moissan in a meteor crater. Natural moissanite is incredibly rare, which is why today's jewelry-grade moissanite is created in specialized laboratories.

With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale (compared to diamond's 10), moissanite is extremely durable and resistant to scratches, making it perfect for everyday wear in rings, necklaces, and other jewelry pieces.

The Brilliance Factor

One of moissanite's most striking qualities is its exceptional brilliance and fire. In fact, moissanite actually displays more brilliance than diamonds, creating that eye-catching sparkle that makes our pieces stand out globally.

Brilliance comparison:

Moissanite refractive index: 2.65-2.69
Diamond refractive index: 2.42

This higher refractive index means moissanite returns more light to the eye, creating that unmistakable sparkle our customers around the world love.

Lab-Grown Diamonds: The Ethical Choice

In addition to moissanite, LND Jewellery also offers lab-grown diamonds for customers seeking the traditional diamond composition with ethical assurance.

What are Lab-Grown Diamonds?

Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds with the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as mined diamonds. The only difference is their origin – they're created in controlled laboratory environments rather than extracted from the earth.

Benefits of Choosing Lab-Grown

Environmental Impact: Significantly reduced carbon footprint
Value: More affordable than mined diamonds of comparable quality
