Frequently asked questions
What is Moissanite?
Moissanite is a rare gemstone made of silicon carbide. While it exists naturally, it’s too scarce for jewelry use. Thanks to advanced technology, Orelena Moissanite is grown in labs to achieve exceptional brilliance, clarity, and color—making it a stunning fusion of science and beauty.
How does Moissanite compare to a diamond?
Though they may look similar, Moissanite and diamonds are different gemstones. Moissanite has more fire and brilliance than diamond—about 2.4x more. It’s a luxurious, eye-catching alternative that stands beautifully on its own.
What’s the difference between Moissanite and CZ?
Unlike CZ (cubic zirconia), which is mass-produced and lacks depth, Moissanite is a premium gemstone with superior brilliance, hardness, and durability. Moissanite is not a diamond imitation—it’s a jewel in its own right.
Does Moissanite sparkle more than a diamond?
Yes. Moissanite has the highest fire (dispersion) of any gemstone—nearly 2.4x more than a diamond. Its rainbow-like sparkle is what makes it truly mesmerizing.
Is Moissanite durable?
Moissanite is one of the hardest and toughest gemstones—second only to diamond. It’s highly resistant to scratching, chipping, and breaking, making it ideal for everyday wear.
