Moissanite Engagement Rings

Moissanite is a mineral called silicone carbide that's naturally occurring and is found in meteorites. Unfortunately, there is almost no Moissanite on earth, so it's created synthetically in laboratories. Moissanite was discovered in 1893 by a man named Henri Moissan, who the stone was eventually named after, and in 1995 jewelers discovered that is was a great stone for making jewelry. The composition of moissanite makes it very close to diamonds in appearance, so close in fact, that many jewelers have to look closely to tell the difference.
