Moissanite
A moissanite is its own unique gemstone, just as sapphires and emeralds are their own unique gemstones. Moissanite, however, boasts a similar durability to a diamond, as well as an uncanny visual resemblance to a diamond, making it the perfect alternative for bridal jewellery.
Moissanite is a more affordable option when compared to cultured diamonds, ranging between $1,200.00 and $5,000.00+. Moissanite allows you to indulge in your dream ring design and a larger carat size, without exceeding a reasonable budget.
A moissanite is the perfect choice for somebody who desires the highest quality diamond alternative, that is ethical and affordable.

Crafting Timeframe
Priority Crafting
If you choose priority crafting we guarantee your piece will be crafted in 4-5 weeks. This service incurs a $750.00 fee.
Standard Crafting
Our standard crafting guarantees your piece will be completed within 8-12 weeks.
Please Note:
During peak seasons, there will be periods of time where these timeframes are extended. If we believe your piece may be delayed, you will be notified throughout the crafting process. Our turnaround times exclude any delays with CAD approval and shipping timeframes.
Carat
Carat refers to the weight of a diamond. Moissanite and diamonds don’t weight the same, so we place emphasis on the phrase carat equivalent. Our carats of moissanite are determined based on the visual appearance of the diamond carat equivalent on the hand. This means, if you’re choosing a 2 carat moissanite it will visually appear the same on the hand as a 2 carat lab diamond, irrespective of the actual weight.
Colour
Colour refers to a gemstone's natural colour, not the coloured flashes of light the diamond emits when it moves, known as fire. Colour is graded alphabetically from D (Colourless) to Z (Light Yellow).
Lab Grown Diamonds
We primarily work with IGI and GIA certified lab grown diamonds that range between the DEF colour range, to ensure the whitest and brightest appearance.
Moissanite - Colourless
Our signature Eternal Brilliance Moissanite is D - Colourless. This is the most diamond-like, and the most beloved moissanite gemstone colour choice amongst our couples.
Moissanite - Champagne
We offer a bespoke range of champagne coloured moissanite, ranging from a light yellow tone to a deep cognac.
Moissanite - Coloured
We offer an extensive range of coloured moissanite. Design your dream ring with a burst of colour.
Clarity
Clarity refers to the inclusions found in a gemstone. These can occur during the growth methods utilised when created in a laboratory. Our Eternal Brilliance Moissanite boasts a clarity of VVS1.
Faceting
Faceting refers to how the gemstone has been cut and determines the internal appearance of the stone itself, rather than the shape. Moissanite gemstones can be cut and faceted to change the stone’s overall visual appearance, including its fire and brilliance.
Bespoke Customisations
A bespoke customisation is the perfect way to add individual flair to your dream ring. Choose from a pavé band, hidden halo or pavé bridge. These customisations are available in both moissanite or lab grown diamonds.
Hidden Birthstones
Select up to four Hidden Gemstones in order of desired placement. We proudly utilise lab-grown hidden gemstones that align with our stance on ethicality. For more gemstone information, simply click on your desired gemstone to learn more.
Please Note:
This incurs an additional fee of $100.00 per gemstone.
