Moissanite Jewelry, An Affordable Alternative to Diamonds
Fifty thousand years ago, a meteorite landed in the Arizona desert. It wasn't until 1893 that scientist Dr. Henri Moissan (who later became a Nobel Prize winner) discovered particles of a new mineral, silicon carbide, which was taken from the meteorite's crater (it was later named moissanite in his honor). Natural moissanite crystals large enough for use in jewelry are extremely rare because they are found in limited quantities or as small particles.
In the 1980's, Charles & Colvard developed a proprietary process for producing large, gem-quality crystals. The process is very difficult and expensive, thus preventing mass production.
Moissanite is a unique jewel with exceptional brilliance and fire that delivers quality, beauty and value like no other gemstone and is an affordable alternative to diamonds. Smart, self-confident, fashionable women all over the world are rewarding themselves for their achievements, both personal and professional, with beautiful Charles & Colvard created moissanite. Moissanite is durable and tough, and second only to a diamond in hardness. It is extremely resistant to scratching, abrasion, and chipping and breaking.

Dr Moissan started studying small fragments from this meteorite and made an astonishing discovery. Imbedded in it were tiny amounts of what looked like a new unknown jewel.Although it occurs naturally on earth it is only in tiny quantities and commercially unviable.Scientists could see its potential as a brilliant new jewelry stone and so set out to manufacture it in a lab.
