ORIGIN OF MOISSANITE
* In 1893, the French chemist Dr. Henri Moissan discovered in the crater of the Déabro Valley a combination of carbon and silicon particles of exceptional brilliance, the appearance and internal crystallization of which resembled those of diamonds.
* In 1995, Charles & Colvard ('CC USA') successfully simulated the natural growth environment to produce a nearly colorless moissanite gemstone, which was certified by the GIA American Gemological Authority and has the same strict GRA standards for color identification as real diamonds.

TOP-LEVEL MOISSANITE GEMSTONES
* The Pure Brilliance Moissanite stones are extraordinary, like a real diamond.
* Moissanite has near-identical properties to that of a diamond in terms of brilliance, refraction, and durability.
* The angle of every facet has been precisely calculated to reflect the most brilliance possible, creating a stunning, scintillating display from even the smallest amount of movement.
