Why Moissanite?

Moissanite is one of the most advanced and beautiful gemstones available today. It offers exceptional brilliance, durability, and ethical advantages, making it a smart and responsible alternative to traditional diamonds.

At Viora and Ivy, we choose moissanite for its performance, appearance, and lasting quality.

Exceptional brilliance and shine

Moissanite is famous for its intense sparkle and glossy finish. It has a higher refractive index than diamonds, which means it bends and reflects more light.

What this means for you:

  • More fire and rainbow flashes in natural and artificial light

  • A glass-like, mirror polish that stays bright over time

  • A stone that looks lively and radiant from every angle

This makes moissanite especially striking in rings, necklaces, and earrings where light exposure is constant.

Impressive hardness and durability

Moissanite ranks 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest gemstones in the world, second only to diamond.

This ensures:

  • Strong resistance to scratches and surface damage

  • Excellent durability for everyday wear

  • Long-term beauty without clouding or dulling

It is ideal for jewellery designed to be worn often, including engagement rings and daily pieces.

Beautiful colour

High-quality moissanite is carefully engineered to appear colourless or near-colourless, closely matching the most desirable diamond grades.

Our stones are selected for:

  • Bright, clean white appearance

  • Minimal warmth or yellow tones

  • Consistent colour across different lighting conditions

This ensures a crisp, modern look that complements sterling silver and gold settings perfectly.

Exceptional clarity

Moissanite is created in controlled laboratory environments, allowing for outstanding clarity with minimal inclusions.

You can expect:

  • Eye-clean stones with excellent transparency

  • Fewer natural imperfections than mined gemstones

  • A clear, sharp appearance that enhances brilliance

Each stone used by Viora and Ivy is chosen to meet high standards for clarity and visual purity.

Ethical and sustainable choice

Because moissanite is lab-created, it avoids the environmental impact and ethical concerns associated with mining. No land disruption, no unsafe labour practices, and a significantly smaller carbon footprint.

Choosing moissanite means choosing beauty with responsibility.

Exceptional value

Moissanite delivers the look, strength, and elegance of a diamond at a more accessible price point. This allows you to enjoy larger stones, superior cuts, and premium designs without compromise.

Our commitment

At Viora and Ivy, every moissanite stone is selected for its cut, colour, clarity, and brilliance. Our goal is to offer jewellery that not only looks stunning but feels meaningful, responsible, and built to last.

Moissanite represents the future of fine jewellery: brilliant, durable, ethical, and timeless.
