Radiant Moissanite Rings In Jupiter, FL

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a natural mineral called silicon carbide, found in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan.
Several years later, in a research laboratory, scientists have perfected the novel way to create silicon carbide crystals that are so pure that they can compete any natural gemstone.

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