Things to Avoid When Shopping for Moissanites

Written by: Stella Moissanite

If you’re concerned about quality when shopping for moissanite, these are the four things you need to avoid:

• Film-coated or colour-treated moissanites (most commonly pink stones). Moissanite does not naturally come in that colour, so a coloured film is applied over a colourless moissanite to obtain the colour. 
• Moissanite comes in colourless shades of yellow, grey, black, blue and green. Anything else is likely a coated product, which can come off over time. I do not use colours that are added through coating.
• It’s crucial to avoid buying from non-reputable brands that do not offer certificates or warranties. All my gemstones over 0.5ct come with certificates of authenticity and a lifetime warranty against chipping and discolouration under normal wear. 
• Even diamonds can chip if exposed to high heat and banged/dropped on hard surfaces; the same goes for moissanite. We see this when people take their jewellery to bad jewellers who work on it without shielding it from torch flames, etc.

As a testament to our commitment to quality, we are proud to share that, to date, we have a zero return or claim rate on all our moissanite.
