Our Moissanite

A CELESTIAL GEMSTONE THAT SHINES LIKE THE STARS

We are introducing the latest reimagined collection from Assolari, which now features the radiant Moissanite gemstone.

WHAT IS MOISSANITE?

Born from the cosmos, Moissanite is a rare silicon carbide mineral originally discovered in meteorites. Its unmatched brilliance and fire once led scientists to mistake it for a diamond—until it was revealed to be a unique gemstone all its own.

THE CELESTIAL CONNECTION

What makes Moissanite so extraordinary? Its journey began among the stars. Scientists believe Moissanite formed during a supernova, where the immense heat and pressure of an exploding star fused silicon and carbon atoms into silicon carbide, which was cast into the universe as stardust.

Because natural Moissanite is incredibly rare on Earth, today it is beautifully recreated in laboratories, making its celestial sparkle accessible to all.

WHY CHOOSE MOISSANITE?

With its exceptional sparkle, Moissanite surpasses diamonds in brilliance thanks to a higher refractive index, reflecting more light and dazzling with every movement.

Not just about beauty, Moissanite is also one of the hardest gemstones on the Mohs scale, scoring 9.25 out of 10, second only to diamonds. This means it’s incredibly resilient to scratches, making it perfect for everyday wear and designed to withstand the test of time.

At Assolari, we chose Moissanite for its cosmic origins, unmatched radiance, and lasting durability—infusing each piece with magic and meaning that reflects the brilliance of our fine jewellery.

OUR PLAN?

We are transitioning all of our earrings from cubic zirconia to Moissanite to add that extra luxury touch. You can find all of our pieces now in Moissanite on our Moissanite Earrings page.
