Moissanite
has a brilliant past, which started 50,000 years ago when a meteorite
crashed into the Arizona desert, creating what is now known as Meteor
Crater. In 1893, Nobel-Prize winning scientist Dr. Henri Moissan discovered
minute quantities of a shimmering new mineral in the meteorite fragments,
with a fire and brilliance never before seen on earth. In 1905, Tiffany's
christened this mineral "Moissanite" in honor of Dr. Moissan.
Naturally
occurring Moissanite, such as in the beautiful Right Hand Ring to the
right, is usually too small to use for jewelry, so now laboratory-grown
moissanite is available, a stone that has many of the gemological attributes
of a diamond. Created Moissanite caused somewhat of a scare within the
jewelry trade, as moissanite looks and tests so similar to a diamond that
jewelers could no longer rely on their standard diamond testers for a
quick stone identification.
Moissanite
grading scale qualities compare to VS quality, I-J-K color diamonds, and
where the color in diamonds leans towards the brown and yellow tones,
Moissanite tones can be more towards the greenish yellow in certain lighting
conditions. But like color in diamonds, it is often difficult for the
consumer to see the color that a trained jeweler's eye would see.
