Radiant Moissanite Rings Around Douglasville, GA

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a natural mineral classified as silicon carbide, found in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan.
Several years later, in a research laboratory, scientists developed the novel way to produce silicon carbide crystals with such purity that they can match any natural gemstone.

It's also significantly less expensive than diamonds of equivalent shapes and sizes, costing around 10% of the price. This is why moissanite is known as the best diamond alternative.
