Moissanite: The Ultimate Guide to This Brilliant Alternative

In the serene landscapes of Scandinavia, where natural beauty and sustainable living harmoniously blend, more and more people are discovering the enchanting allure of moissanite that we call Exo diamond!. This remarkable gemstone offers the perfect combination of Nordic values: sustainability, quality, and thoughtful luxury. Let's explore why moissanite has become a cherished choice for conscious jewelry lovers across the world.

The Fascinating Story of Moissanite

Moissanite's story begins with stardust – quite literally. First discovered in meteor fragments by Nobel Prize-winning scientist Henri Moissan in 1893, this remarkable mineral was initially mistaken for diamond due to its exceptional brilliance. Natural moissanite is incredibly rare, which is why today's jewelry features laboratory-created moissanite, perfectly replicating nature's recipe while maintaining ethical and sustainable practices.

Understanding Moissanite's Brilliant Character

Exceptional Brilliance and Fire

When the Nordic winter sun catches a moissanite stone, something magical happens. Moissanite actually displays more brilliance and fire than a diamond, creating a stunning light show that's particularly striking during our long winter months. This enhanced sparkle comes from its unique refractive index:

• Brilliance (white light): Higher than diamond
• Fire (rainbow flashes): 2.4 times more than diamond
• Luster: Remarkably similar to diamond

Impressive Durability

For active lifestyles common in Scandinavian countries – from hiking in the fjords to winter sports – moissanite proves to be an excellent choice. Rating 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs scale, it's one of the hardest materials on Earth, second only to diamond. This means your moissanite jewelry will maintain its beauty through daily wear and outdoor adventures.

Comparing Moissanite and Diamonds

While both stones are extraordinary, understanding their differences helps make an informed choice:

Visual Characteristics

• Moissanite displays more rainbow flashes (fire)
• Both appear colourless in popular grades
• Larger moissanite stones may show more noticeable fire
• Both maintain clarity and sparkle similarly over time

Environmental and Ethical Impact

• Laboratory-created moissanite has minimal environmental impact
• No mining required
• Completely conflict-free
• Sustainable production methods

Investment Value

• Excellent value for size and quality
• Perfect for larger statement pieces

Why we call Moissanite Exo diamond?

Moissanite is a well known gemstone across the world, however, in our Nordic settings it is normal to see exotic natural phenomenon such as Aurura Borealis which is normally called Aurora lights across the world. We named this Exo diamond because the origin of this stone is from outer space as Carl Segan used to say 'We are all made from Stardust' but we know this gemstone is actually from stars !

Due to it's Exotic and Extraordinary properties and enhancements in it's manufacturing compared to traditional moissanite we call this our own Exo Diamond!
