FAQ

ABOUT MOISSANITE

What is moissanite?
A gemstone created in a lab from silicon carbide, first discovered inside a meteorite in 1893. It has more fire than a diamond, a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, and needs no mining. Learn more on our About Moissanite page.

Can you tell moissanite from a diamond?
Not with the naked eye. It takes specialist instruments. The real difference is the price, and knowing you chose well.

Does moissanite lose its sparkle?
No. Moissanite is extremely durable and keeps its brilliance for good. With basic care, your piece will shine like the first day.

What do D colour and VVS1 clarity mean?
D is the highest colour grade: the stone is completely colourless. VVS1 means Very Very Slightly Included: inclusions are practically invisible, even under a loupe. Every Zivaria moissanite carries these grades.

What is the GRA certificate?
GRA stands for Gemological Research Association, an independent gemological laboratory. Its certificate confirms the authenticity, colour and clarity of each moissanite. Every Zivaria moissanite piece comes with one.

Is moissanite better for the planet?
Yes. Every Zivaria stone is created in a lab, so nothing is mined from the earth. That is the reason we work only with moissanite.
