Moissanite
Light, captured with clarity.
What is moissanite?
Moissanite is a lab-grown gem celebrated for exceptional brilliance and fire. At AQUO we state our materials clearly: lab-grown moissanite, never sold as natural diamond.
Why we choose it
- Brilliance — higher refractive index than diamond, with vivid rainbow fire
- Hardness — 9.25 on the Mohs scale, suited to everyday wear
- Colour — near colourless (typically D–F range)
- Ethics & access — lab-grown, thoughtfully priced for daily fine-look jewellery
Moissanite vs diamond
Diamond offers a subtler, classic sparkle. Moissanite returns more fire and scintillation — a deliberate choice for pieces meant to catch the light as you move.
