The Ultimate Guide to Moissanite
From basics to advanced, all things you need to know about one of our favourite clear stones on the market: Moissanites
What is a Moissanite?
Discovered in 1893 within the remnants of a meteor crater, moissanite is a gemstone born from the stars—rare, radiant, and extraordinary. Naturally occurring moissanite is exceptionally scarce, but through the precision of modern science, this celestial beauty is now masterfully grown in laboratories to perfection.
At Soon Magic, we offer only the pinnacle of brilliance — Forever One Moissanite by Charles & Colvard. Exquisitely colorless and graded DEF on the GIA color scale, each gem embodies unmatched fire, clarity, and timeless sophistication.
Unmatched Brilliance
With a refractive index of 2.65–2.69, moissanite outshines even the diamond, which measures around 2.42. Its remarkable sparkle and inner fire capture light with celestial intensity — creating an allure that feels both ethereal and everlasting.
Every Forever One Moissanite comes with a Certificate of Authenticity and a Charles & Colvard Limited Lifetime Warranty, a promise of enduring brilliance and craftsmanship for generations to come.
How Hard is a Moissanite?
With a rating of 9.25 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, moissanite stands among the most durable gemstones in the world — second only to diamonds, which are rated a perfect 10. This exceptional resilience makes moissanite ideal for everyday wear, ensuring its brilliance and beauty remain untouched by time.
What Does “Eye-Clean” Mean?
The term “Eye-Clean” refers to the clarity of a gemstone — indicating that no inclusions or imperfections are visible to the naked eye. While minute inclusions may be detectable under magnification, an eye-clean moissanite appears flawless in everyday viewing, radiating with the same brilliance as its VVS1–VVS2 diamond counterparts.
Choosing an eye-clean moissanite is a thoughtful balance of beauty and value — offering the same luminous sparkle and visual perfection, while allowing you to invest wisely without compromising on elegance or quality.
How do I care for Moissanite?
Caring for your moissanite is simple and effortless — much like caring for a diamond. To maintain its radiant brilliance, gently cleanse your gemstone with a mild soap and warm water, then rinse and dry with a soft microfiber cloth, or allow it to air dry naturally.
While moissanite itself is exceptionally durable, the metals surrounding it may require more specific care. For tailored advice on maintaining the beauty of your setting, please refer to our Metal Care Guide.
