Welcome to Zen Moissanite!

A wee little side business that started back in 2017 and grew into the recognized brand it is today. First, let me introduce myself, my name is Jennifer, I was born and raised just outside of Ottawa, Canada and have always loved creating - either through crafts or with food.

You could say I'm a creative with an analytic mind. I studied at Telfer business school of management in Ottawa and moved on to working at the Federal Government. In 2013, me and my highschool crush started dating again and by 2016 I was ready to get a ring on my finger! I came across moissanite at the time and thought it was the perfect gemstone for me since it is ethically sourced. It also meant I could get the larger stone I truly wanted without breaking the bank. At the time, I couldn’t find the exact right ring for me, but I knew I was onto something.

My fascination for the gem jump started the idea of starting a business of my own!

Zen Moissanite was solely a loose moissanite stone seller to customers and jewelers alike, and quickly evolved into a jewelry business once we found bench jewelers whose work was on par with our standards. What started as a side venture while I still worked full time at my government job quickly took a life of its own.

From the very beginning of offering ring designs, our followers appreciated the craftsmanship and attention to detail we bring to every design. Each ring is created with the motto that we would personally wear the piece, for the rest of our lives. We also strive to break the mould the diamond industry created and always offer the best price on our items, all year round. We don’t believe in over-inflating our products, just so we can offer a bi-annual sale. Our clients know they can always purchase our products, without the fear of missing out on a scam-sale just around the corner.

Since 2018, I’ve welcomed two little ones into my life, while Zen Moissanite—my first baby—has grown in ways I never imagined. The love and support from our community has been nothing short of humbling. After my first maternity leave in May 2020, I decided to take the leap—leaving behind the security of my government job (yes, even the pension and benefits) to follow this dream full-time.

Thank you for being part of our journey.
