In today’s world, where ethical sourcing and environmental responsibility are paramount, the choice of lab-grown gemstones for fine jewelry stands out as both a stylish and conscientious decision. At Rose Window London, we take pride in offering customisable rings with the most sought-after lab gemstones: moissanite, rubies, and emeralds. Each of these gemstones is not just a testament to personal style but also to a commitment to innovation, sustainability and ethical practices.
The Origin of Moissanite
Moissanite is a gemstone with a fascinating history and unique properties that set it apart from traditional diamonds. Discovered in 1893 by French scientist Henri Moissan in a meteor crater, moissanite is literally a gem from the stars. Initially mistaken for diamonds, moissanite is composed of silicon carbide, making it chemically different from diamonds, which are carbon-based.
Shines Bright Like a Diamond
Moissanite's appeal goes beyond its cosmic history. Here's why it's an exceptional choice for your custom ring:
- Brilliance and Fire: With a refractive index of 2.65-2.69, moissanite exceeds diamonds in terms of brilliance and fire. This means it has more sparkle and a more vibrant display of colors, making it an eye-catching alternative to diamonds.
- Sustainability and Ethics: Moissanite is created in a lab, ensuring that its production is sustainable and free from the ethical concerns associated with diamond mining.
- Durability and Affordability: Diamonds are the hardest known mineral and are at the top of the Mohs scale of mineral hardness with a rating of 10. Almost as hard as diamonds, moissanite ranks second only to diamonds on the Mohs hardness scale, with a rating of 9.25 to 9.5 making it durable and suitable for everyday wear.
The Allure of Lab-Grown Gemstones
Alongside moissanite, we offer lab-grown sapphires and emeralds. These gemstones are not only visually stunning but also represent a commitment to innovative and sustainable luxury.
