What is Moissanite? Where to buy moissanite?

Moissanite is a synthetic gemstone, which is a product with physical properties closest to diamond, of which the magic star diamond is the representative.

What is Moissanite? To put it bluntly, moissanite is a synthetic gemstone, an affordable alternative to diamonds.

Nowadays, many young people choose to buy moissanite as jewelry to wear, which is more cost-effective than buying a diamond ring and can save a lot of money.

At present, the more popular moissanite brands in China include Belgian magic star diamond, American cc moissanite, American VO moissanite, etc., each brand is still a representative of different segments, you can search for it.

Jewelry stores are available.

Moissanite is not an imitation diamond, it is a synthetic gemstone, natural Moissanite is rarely found in craters, there are many impurities and flaws, the color is mostly dark green and black, can only be used for scientific research, and the Moissanite sold on the market are lab-grown.

In terms of chemical composition, diamonds and moissanite are similar, diamonds are essentially carbon, and moissanite is composed of silicon carbide. Natural diamonds take hundreds of millions of years to form, undergo crustal movements, and inevitably carry impurities and fractures. The moissanite is cultivated by the crystal in the laboratory for 9-12 months, the color, clarity, and carat can be precisely controlled, and the crystal purity is clear and shiny, which makes up for the lack of natural diamonds.

Moissanite maintenance precautions.

It should be noted that moissanite is a gemstone second only to diamond in hardness, so if you put moissanite with other gemstones, it is easy to cause friction, which can scratch gemstone jewelry with lower hardness. Although moissanite is hard, it is also brittle and can easily shatter in the event of a collision. Therefore, it should be avoided to store or wear moissanite with other hard objects, and say no to collision and friction.

It should be noted that in the environment of strong light or high temperature, the internal structure molecules of Moissanite will expand, resulting in cracks and cracks on the surface of Moissanite, and even rupture in more serious cases. So don't put moissanite near a heat source and say no to exposure to high temperatures.

In recent years, a new favorite "Moissanite" has appeared in China's jewelry market, which has quickly occupied the young group market with its dazzling appearance, physical properties that are almost the same as diamonds, and ultra-low **. The next step in becoming popular seems to be the invasion of fakes, so what about the real Moissanite in **?

In my mind, the best moissanite has to be the Belgian Magic Star diamond! This kind of real D color of Moissanite is developed and cultivated by Square Silicone, a local diamond manufacturer in Antwerp, Belgium, and the quality is better than that of American Moissanite, and it is compared to the domestic Moissanite in the corner! According to my simple investigation, due to technical limitations, the production of domestic moissanite generally cannot achieve the effect of excellent whitening, and can only hover between yellowish and green and the surface is white and impermeable, so it is cheap.

The United States is the first jewelry company to develop and cultivate moissanite, the brand has a certain influence, and the color of the moissanite produced is between the white EF color, which is slightly higher. The Belgian magic star diamond belongs to the rising star of Moissanite, and the absolute blue is better than the blue! The color is extremely white D, and the clarity is flawless, but because Square Silicone, a Belgian diamond brand, has no achievements in the field of moissanite before developing the magic star diamond, there is no brand effect, ** it is lower than the American moissanite.

If you are not overly low**, the Belgian Magic Star Diamond is the best choice for cost performance. Unfortunately, due to the current technical conditions, the production of Belgian magic star diamonds cannot be increased in the short term, so it is relatively rare. Moissanite in ** buy?

At present, if you are in China, you can choose to buy only diamond, it is the only authorized domestic dealer of Belgian Magic Star Company, and it can be guaranteed to be **.

The quality of moissanite on the market varies greatly, and some merchants use coated zircon to sell, and consumers who do not know how to do it are easily deceived. One method is relatively simple, that is, the stone that can pass the drill pen, which can basically be determined to be Moissanite, except for the real diamond. **, depending on whether it is domestic or imported, ** basically belongs to domestic production, which is probably four or five hundred yuan per carat.

In the sale of Moissanite merchants sometimes sell Moissanite ** very high, sometimes sell very low, so people feel that Moissanite ** is unstable, I don't know which ** is normal and stable, and will take into account the supply of goods, worry about the supply and quality, it is recommended to buy Moissanite is to shop around, understand whether the after-sales service provided by the merchant is perfect, and have a certain understanding of Moissanite, it is recommended to go to the Moissanite official website to buy a little better, I hope to help you!

You can buy good Moissan's on the Internet, if you don't understand anything, you can ask me.

You** looking for Ika Mosan, who sells it in his store, I've seen three green ones.

There are still very few physical stores of moissanite, and they generally choose to buy online, but this thing is a bit deep, and you need to know more about it to buy good goods. If you don't understand, you can ask me.

Moissanite good,If not used for collection or newspapers, moissanite is still well worth buying.

As far as the performance of Moissanite is concerned, it is very similar to the various attributes of diamonds, and it is difficult to distinguish the difference between Moissanite and diamonds under the observation of normal people's naked eyes, and Moissanite is the same as diamonds, which can be worn as accessories for a long time, and its brightness, clarity, fire and other factors will not change for a long time.

Difference Between Moissanite and Diamond:

1. The growth environment is different.

Diamonds are formed by the natural growth of carbon minerals in the ground for a long time, and because they are a masterpiece of nature, they are produced in lower quantities, unlike moissanite. Since moissanite is a synthesis of two chemical elements, carbon and silicon, it does not run out of raw materials one day.

It should be noted that although moissanite can be syntheticized, its synthesis risk is high, and the yield is more than that of diamonds, but it is still very low in itself.

2. The fire is different.

The dispersion index of moissanite is higher than that of diamond, and its specific values are: the fire index of diamonds is, and the fire index of moissanite is. In addition to this, moissanite also exhibits a multicolored luster in different environments, which is also an important factor that can be used to distinguish it from diamonds.

Moissanite is a synthetic silica carbide.

Moissanite is cultivated through two minerals of carbon and silicon, with the optical and physical characteristics of natural diamonds, the early stage of Moissanite production, in the cultivation process of high risk, long cultivation time, low yield, more precious, but with the cultivation of Moissanite technology is more and more mature, the technology is more complete, and the mastery of Moissanite scientific research institutions and countries are also increasing, Moissanite production is gradually increasing.

Moissanite is similar in appearance to diamonds, often used as a substitute for diamonds, Moissanite ** is not as tall as diamonds, but it is better than diamonds, because Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamonds, diamonds are only blue and orange, Moissanite has seven kinds, and the colors are richer. The internal structure, value, and appearance of moissanite are strikingly similar to diamonds, and even if you use a diamond pen to detect it, it will be judged to be a diamond, which is difficult to distinguish.

The difference between a mulberry diamond and a diamond

1. Specific gravity. Moissanite is lighter than diamond, i.e. they have different specific gravity, the specific gravity of diamond is, while the specific gravity of moissanite is only. For materials that are not inlaid with a smile, it is easy to distinguish the two with methyl iodide specific gravity solution.

2. Hardness. Moissanite is less hard than diamonds, so a scratch test on the surface of moissanite with a diamond hardness tester will leave scratches, while a scratch meter will not leave scratches on the surface of the diamond.

3. Electrical conductivity.

80% of moissanite is an electrical conductor. Common white and light yellow diamonds are non-conductive, so they can be distinguished from moissanite by an electroconductivity or moissanite.

4. Refractive index.

The refractive index of a moissanite is different from that of a diamond, and the reflective characteristics of a moissanite are different from those of a diamond, and an experienced diamond grader can distinguish between the two; In addition, the Moissanite tool is birefringent, so it is not difficult to see the ghosting of the Moissanite ridge line and the cusp if you look closely, and the ghosting will still appear when you change the viewing angle.

1. Moissanite, also known as moissanite, its chemical name is synthetic silicon carbide, which is a synthetic diamond. Its surface is no different from that of a diamond, and it can even be said that the fire intensity is twice that of a real diamond, so the surface looks more brilliant and gorgeous.

2. Different specific gravity: the specific gravity of diamond and moissanite is different, the specific gravity of diamond is, and the specific gravity of moissanite refers to resistance, so it can be easily distinguished with specific gravity, the specific gravity of the specific gravity solution is between diamond and moissanite, so the diamond will sink to the bottom, and moissanite will float above the specific gravity liquid.

3. Different hardness: As the hardest stone in the world, diamond is naturally harder than Moissanite. Therefore, if the hardness tester is used to cut the surface of the diamond and moissanite, the surface of the diamond will not leave an imprint, but the surface of the moissanite will leave more obvious scratches.
