Moissanite now available across the Serendipity Diamonds jewellery collection
Have you heard of Moissanite? Well, earlier this month, we introduced an exciting new Starlight Moissanite gemstone option for jewellery.
Starlight Moissanite fits perfectly into our ethical jewellery designs—available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. Furthermore, we include the option to add any Moissanite to Fairtrade Gold introduced to our collection in 2015.

But why choose Moissanite over a diamond?
To answer this question, you must consider the benefits of Moissanite. Moreover, without going into the science of Silicon Carbide (keeping things simple) the benefits include:
Durability. Moissanite offers a tough, hardwearing gemstone similar to diamond.
Sparkle. With a higher refractive index (sorry—some science) to diamond, Moissanite sparkles with intensity and more fire than a diamond.
Affordability. Moissanite is cheaper than diamond (including natural or lab-grown diamond options. Many clients avoid financing their engagement ring owing to a lower cost.
Ethical. Synthetic Moissanite, grown in a laboratory offers 100% ethical standards.
What is the difference between Moissanite and lab created diamonds
Moissanite and lab-created diamonds have the same differences as Moissanite compared to natural diamonds. Moissanite, created from Silicone carbide is similar in hardness to diamond. But, to the trained eye, Moissanite reveals greater sparkle owing to double refraction. In contrast, lab diamonds appear identical to natural diamonds.
In terms of cost, lab-grown diamonds provide an affordable tier between Moissanite and natural diamonds.
Therefore, any buyer keen to ensure an identical appearance to a natural diamond with the affordability of Moissanite should seriously consider a laboratory-created diamond.
