WE ARE ELEGANT Moisannites

Moissanites are an amazing diamond alternative that actually sparkle more than a diamond does. This gemstone has only recently become available on the market and has taken the jewelry trade by storm. Right up to 2015 there was only one supplier of these gemstones in the international market place due to patents in place. These patents have now expired meaning we can now supply moissanites at competitive prices. We ship directly from our two international hub locations - United Kingdom and New Zealand. We have chosen these locations for strategic reasons so that you can get your moissanite gemstones quickly even during these unsettled times with COVID 19.

What is a moissanite?

Moissanite was first discovered in 1873 by Henri Moissan, a Nobel Prize winning French Chemist. He discovered moissanite in a meteor crater in Arizona USA. All natural moissanite on earth is thought to come from outer space in the form of meteors. In nature, moissanite is very rare, so the moissanite that is sold as gemstones is all lab created. Are moisannites the same as diamonds? No, they are actually quite different in make up, they are similar in that they can be cut similar and they are both hard, but moissanites out shine diamonds. Many people are beginning to prefer moissanites over diamonds simply because they look so much more spectacular.

I could not be more happy with the amazing 1ct moissanite I recently purchased from Elegant Moissanites. They were very helpful and the savings I made on this gemstone meant that we could put that money on into our house deposit.

John Hewitt

I was actually suprized that the gemstone I purchased was not a diamond. I got the stone for our engagement ring and my fiancee could not believe it was not a diamond either. She does not agree with commercial diamond mining so was really excited when I explained it was a lab grown moissanite. 

Maria Reid

I was shopping around for a stone as I lost my engagement ring and wanted to replace it with something similar. After researching online and hearing good things about ElegantMoissanite.com I decided to buy a lovely ring from them. I could not be more happy.
