Our Stones
A stone's sparkle comes down to two numbers: how hard it is, and how much it bends light. Everything we carry is chosen against those two numbers, not against a price tag.
Our Two Main Stones
Lab-grown diamonds
Lab-grown diamonds are real diamonds. Same carbon, same crystal lattice, same 10 on the Mohs scale as a stone pulled from the ground. The only difference is where it formed: in a reactor above ground, over weeks rather than a billion years. They are graded on the same 4Cs by the same independent labs, and they carry the same hardness and durability.
Moissanite
Moissanite is not a diamond, and we do not sell it as one. It is silicon carbide: a different material with a different set of numbers, and one of those numbers is higher than diamond's. That is not a marketing line, it is the refractive index doing the work.
The Numbers
| Stone | Mohs hardness | Refractive index | Formed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Moissanite | 9.25 | 2.65 | Lab-grown |
| Lab-grown diamond | 10.0 | 2.42 | Lab-grown |
| Mined diamond | 10.0 | 2.42 | Mined |
A higher refractive index means light bends more as it passes through the stone, and more of it comes back out as colour. That is why moissanite throws more rainbow flash under a light than diamond does. Whether you prefer that or the cooler white of a diamond is a matter of taste, not of quality. Neither stone is a compromise; they are simply different.
Diamond White
Colourless, cut to maximise the return of white light. If you want the classic look and the hardest stone available, this is the one.
Moissanite White
More fire, more rainbow flash, a lower price. Harder than sapphire or ruby, so it holds up to daily wear.
925 Sterling Silver
Every piece in the collection is solid 925 sterling silver — not plated, not filled, not brass with a coating.
White, and Only White
Everything we currently sell is a white stone in silver. We do not list coloured stones we cannot ship today, and we do not show a colour swatch next to a product that only exists in white. If coloured lab-created stones enter the collection, this page will say so on the day they do, not before.
Certification and Care
Lab-grown diamonds of 0.50 ct and above ship with an independent grading report. Moissanite ships with our own specification card listing cut, size and colour grade. Neither stone needs special treatment day to day — see Jewelry Care for how to clean them, and One Year Warranty for what is covered if a setting ever works loose.
