Square Moissanite Rings Around Goose Creek, SC

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a natural mineral identified 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 perfected the novel process to create silicon carbide crystals with such purity that they compete any geniune gemstone.

It's also significantly more cost-effective than diamonds of similar shapes and sizes, costing only 10% of the price. This is why moissanite is considered the best diamond alternative.
