Moissanite is grown in a controlled lab environment using Silicon Carbide ($SiC$) and intense heat conditions that replicate how it was originally discovered in nature (within a meteorite!).

• The Result: Because it is lab-grown, moissanite possesses consistent clarity and brilliance without the inclusions often found in mined stones. It is a perfect marriage of advanced science and fine craftsmanship. Learn More

No, moissanite is not a diamond. It is a unique, real gemstone with its own distinct chemical and optical properties.

• Composition: Diamonds are made of carbon, while moissanite is made of silicon carbide.
• The Difference: Their different compositions cause them to reflect light differently. Moissanite is not a "fake" or a "simulant"—it is a stunning, high-performance gemstone in its own right.

Moissanite is graded based on the classic 4Cs: Cut, Color, and Clarity.

• Color & Clarity: Since they are lab-created, most moissanite stones are inherently colorless (D-E-F range) and near-flawless.
• The Importance of Cut: Cut is the most critical factor. A masterfully cut stone distributes light evenly to create that signature "fire." At Miro Jewelers, we only offer stones that meet our rigorous visual standards.

To the naked eye, most people cannot tell the difference. * The "Fire" Factor: Under bright light, moissanite displays more "rainbow" flashes (fire), whereas diamonds reflect more white light (brilliance). If you love extra sparkle and vivid flashes of color, moissanite is the perfect choice for you.

Never. Moissanite is physically stable and highly resistant to heat and light. It will not become cloudy or change color over time.

• Quick Tip: If your ring looks dull, it’s likely just surface buildup from lotions or oils. A quick cleaning will immediately restore its original brilliance.

Moissanite is one of the hardest gemstones on earth (9.25 on the Mohs scale), making it ideal for everyday wear.

• Cleaning: Use mild soap, warm water, and a soft-bristled brush.
• Storage: Store it separately to avoid scratching other jewelry.
• Maintenance: We recommend a professional cleaning once or twice a year to keep it looking its best for decades.

Absolutely. Moissanite offers incredible beauty, durability, and value.

• Smart Investing: Many of our clients choose moissanite so they can invest more into a premium setting, a designer band, or even their wedding day itself—all without sacrificing the "wow" factor of a large, sparkling center stone.

Most people can’t tell the difference without special tools. Jewelers may detect subtle differences under magnification, but to the naked eye, moissanite is impressively similar to diamonds.

Absolutely. With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is highly scratch-resistant and perfect for everyday jewelry like engagement rings.
