10 Things Most People Don't Know About Moissanite Earrings

In the case of moissanite, there are many people who do not know about it. Once you learn about this precious gemstone, it's hard to resist buying another pair of studs with it.

1. The origin of moissanite is not a popular story. Moissanite was originally discovered in a meteorite crater by a scientist named Henri Moissan. His discovery gave the stone its name, "moissanite". Initially, moissanite was thought to be a diamond, but this was later proven not to be the case. You can't blame the experts at the time, because diamonds and moissanites are indistinguishable in almost all respects.

2. These days, natural diamonds may be relatively rare on the market, but there is no shortage of these stones beneath the earth's crust. Moissanite, however, is extremely rare and almost all of the moissanite you see today was made in a laboratory.

3. One of the differences between moissanite and diamond is that it lacks a crystal structure.

4. Because moissanite is found in meteorite craters, it is often called "stardust" or "space diamonds".

5. Moissanite is very tough, heat and pressure resistant. Therefore, your new moissanite earrings do not require careful handling. You can wear them every day without worrying about damaging them.

6. Unfortunately, some gemstone earrings, studs or earrings all look the same after one point. These beauties lack character and some people find this unattractive. Moissanite studs, on the other hand, offer the opportunity for customization. With the help of brands such as Spaceice, you can make earrings in as many shapes, sizes and colors as you like.  

7. Another reason to have a few pairs of moissanite studs in your collection is their resistance to chemicals. Moissanite is manufactured using heat curing, which means it will not darken when subjected to daily use and chemicals. Unlike diamonds, these earrings will not become cloudy if you wear them daily and use jewelry cleaners.

8. The fact that moissanite earrings do not conflict with the idea of environmental protection is often overshadowed by the glamour of the jewelry. If you support ethical and cruelty-free jewelry, you need to start buying moissanite earrings.

9. Fine jewelry needs to be handled with care. Especially with delicate gold and silver earrings, heat can cause major damage to the jewelry. Moissanite seems to surprise everyone with its incredible ability to withstand heat. Even at the temperatures found in home fires, earrings set with moissanite are intact.

10. There is no doubt that gemstone jewelry makes a great gift. Moissanite earrings are awesome gifts for occasions between anniversaries and milestones. These earrings show how much thought and effort you put into choosing them as a gift. You can also give yourself a chance to show off and add appeal to yourself.
