Built for Real Life
Moissanite jewellery isn't delicate or precious—it's engineered for the demands of daily wear. With a hardness rating of 9.25, moissanite is one of the hardest substances on Earth, second only to diamond.
What This Means for Your Jewellery
Your moissanite pieces can handle:
- Daily wear without scratching or dulling
- Exposure to water, lotions, and cosmetics
- Active lifestyles including exercise and sports
- Temperature changes and environmental conditions
Scratch and Chip Resistance
Unlike softer gemstones such as emerald or opal, moissanite resists scratching from everyday contact. It won't chip from accidental knocks or wear down over time like cubic zirconia.
Maintaining Brilliance Over Time
Moissanite's optical properties are permanent. Unlike some gemstones that can cloud or discolour with age, moissanite maintains its fire and brilliance indefinitely. A simple clean restores its sparkle instantly.
Perfect for Engagement Rings
Engagement rings endure more wear than any other jewellery piece. Moissanite's exceptional durability makes it ideal for this daily-wear application, ensuring your ring looks stunning decades from now.
Comparison to Other Gemstones
Whilst sapphire scores 9 on the Mohs scale and diamond scores 10, moissanite at 9.25 outperforms all other popular gemstone alternatives including white sapphire, cubic zirconia, and lab-grown diamonds in terms of value-to-durability ratio.
