Why Moissanite?
Moissanite is a conscious choice. A choice for women seeking exceptional brilliance, timeless elegance and a more modern way to wear luxury.
At LunNoire, we believe that a piece of jewelry should reflect who you are, not traditions or expectations.
Moissanite is not chosen as a substitute for something else. It is chosen for its own unique properties, its extraordinary brilliance and its ability to combine beauty with conscious values.
What is moissanite?
Moissanite is a gemstone that was first discovered in 1893 by the French scientist Henri Moissan in the remains of a meteorite impact. Natural moissanite is extremely rare, which means that today’s moissanite is created in laboratories under carefully controlled conditions.
The result is a stone with extraordinary brilliance, high durability and an ethical origin.
Moissanite consists of silicon carbide and is a gemstone in its own right, not an imitation of diamond.
