When brilliance meets ethics – discover why more and more people choose moissanite over traditional diamonds.

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a rare gemstone first discovered in 1893 by French scientist Henri Moissan. Originally found in a meteor crater, this gem was later synthesized to achieve the stunning sparkle we now know. Though often compared to diamonds, moissanite is a gemstone in its own right — and it's dazzling.

With a higher refractive index than diamonds, moissanite reflects more light and offers a brilliance that truly stands out.

1. Sparkle That Rivals (and Even Outshines) Diamonds

Moissanite is renowned for its fire — the rainbow-like flashes that make it dance in the light. Thanks to its unique crystal structure, moissanite exhibits more brilliance than a diamond , especially in certain lighting.

At Steffanii , we use high-grade moissanites in all our jewelry to ensure every piece shines with intention and elegance.

2. Ethically and Sustainably Made

Unlike many diamonds that come with concerns about ethical sourcing and environmental impact, moissanite is 100% lab-created , meaning:

• No mining
• No ecological damage
• No human rights concerns

It's the ideal choice for those who value transparency and sustainability.

3. Affordable Luxury
