Radiant Moissanite Rings Near Miami, FL

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a natural mineral known as silicon carbide, discovered in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan.
Several years later, in a research laboratory, scientists have developed the innovative way to create silicon carbide crystals that are so flawless that they match any geniune gemstone.

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