You can clean Moissanite the same way you would diamond. As with any fine jewelry item, you would not want to dump all of your jewelry into an ultrasonic cleaner at once to guard against possible chipping, but your Moissanite jewel is perfectly safe under normal ultrasonic cleaning.

Your moissanite jewelry requires the same care and handling as any other jewel. Just like fine diamonds, clean with steam, solution or ultrasonic cleaners. Avoid cleaning with harsh chemicals.

Moissanite pronounced as (MOY- San- ite)) is a relatively new jewel in the market. Moissanite has achieved outstanding Popularity since its inception commercially in the Year 1998.Moissanite, also known as silicon carbide, is a naturally occurring mineral found in limited quantities or as small particles in the earth. The rarity of large natural Moissanite crystals prohibits their use in jewelry making. For years, scientists tried in vain to re-create this extraordinarily brilliant material.

Created moissanite is silicon carbide formed as a single crystal. Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral found in limited quantities in the earth. Discovered in 1893 by Dr. Henri Moissan, the jewel was later named in his honor. The natural quantities of moissanite are too small to create jewelry. The jewel was created through a combination of science and art. Abrasives formed of silicon carbide powder are inexpensive to manufacture.

A gemstone’s “fire” is caused by dispersion – the property by which light is spread out according to its wavelengths (colors) as it passes through an object. Moissanite’s dispersion is 0.104 and can be calculated scientifically.

Answer: Moissanite jewels are lab created Silicon Carbide material and has very close physical properties to diamond.

No. Charles & Colvard provides a Limited Lifetime Warranty that every Charles & Colvard created Moissanite jewel will maintain its fire and brilliance for the lifetime of the owner.

Using a 10x loupe, each individual jewel is examined for inclusions that may affect the optical performance of the jewel.

No. There are no known situations in which the color of Moissanite has been permanently changed. A temporary color change will occur when Moissanite is exposed to heat (torch) during jewelry repair techniques. However, with proper bench techniques, there is no resulting damage and Moissanite returns to its normal color after the jewel cools to room temperature.

Yes. Moissanite is durable and tough. It is extremely resistant to scratching and abrasion. Diamond is the hardest gemstone used in jewelry but Moissanite is harder than all other gemstones including ruby and sapphire.

No. Based on measurable scientific studies in high pressure research, Moissanite is extremely resistant to breaking and chipping. In fact, Moissanite is one of the toughest jewels known to man and can stand the test of time.

Yes. Moissanite has heat resistance properties superior to many other jewels. Tests prove that at 2000°F, higher than the equivalent intensity of a house fire, Moissanite remains intact and as brilliant as the day it was created. High heat tolerance makes Moissanite less likely to experience heat damage during jewelry repair. Yes. Near-colorless created Moissanite has many similar physical properties to those of diamond.

bull; Look for needle-like or micro-pipe type inclusions that typically are perpendicular to the table facet and are visible only under magnification.

Self-purchasing women, age 30 and over. More than 70% of all lifetime warranty cards submitted were from women who purchased Moissanite jewelry for themselves. Savvy, fashionable, discerning women in over 60 countries and territories now wear this brilliant jewel. The undeniably seductive combination of quality plus value makes Moissanite irresistibly appealing to this high-growth consumer market.

To ensure the highest quality, all created moissanite jewels are evaluated to exacting standards by specially trained gemologists, quality control personnel, and automated video imaging equipment.

Answer: Moissanite will require only simple care just like any other jewels. You would care for Moissanite just the way you would care for diamond.

Answer: Moissanite is sold by stone millimeters (mm) and/or diamond equivalent weight and not by its weight. The same size of Moissanite stones as compared to diamond by weight, weighs approximately 13% less than diamond.
