Why Moissanite?

Moissanite is one of the most brilliant gemstones on earth — and at Sparkle Twist, we love it for its extraordinary fire, durability, and incredible value. If you are looking for a stone that dazzles without compromise, moissanite is an exceptional choice.

What Is Moissanite?

Originally discovered in a meteor crater by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Henri Moissan in 1893, moissanite (silicon carbide) is now created in laboratories to the highest standards of quality. The result is a gemstone of remarkable beauty and brilliance — available at a fraction of the cost of a diamond.

Unmatched Brilliance

Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, meaning it bends and reflects light even more intensely. The result is an extraordinary sparkle and fire that is truly breathtaking — and turns heads in any setting.

Exceptional Durability

Rated 9.25 on the Mohs scale of hardness, moissanite is one of the hardest gemstones in the world — second only to diamond. It is highly resistant to scratching, chipping, and everyday wear, making it an ideal choice for engagement rings and fine jewellery worn daily.

Ethical & Sustainable

All our moissanite is lab-created, meaning no mining is involved. It is a responsible, conflict-free choice that lets you wear your jewellery with pride.

Outstanding Value

Moissanite offers exceptional beauty at a significantly lower price point than diamond, allowing you to invest in a larger, more stunning stone without stretching your budget.
