Everything About Moissanite

Beautiful by Choice, Ethical by Design.

The diamond industry’s best-kept secret is now yours to know. Discover why moissanite is the intelligent, rational choice for the modern couple.

RADICAL TRANSPARENCY & ETHICS

Stand behind your ring, and what it stands for. Our premium moissanite is 100% labgrown, meaning it is entirely conflict-free and eco-friendly. No mining, no questionable labor practices — just a conscious, values-driven decision you can be genuinely proud of. When you choose Zen Moissanite, you are choosing a stone that did not cost the Earth.

UNRIVALED BRILLIANCE

Prepare to be noticed. Moissanite does not merely match a diamond’s sparkle — it surpasses it. With a higher Refractive Index (2.65 versus a diamond’s 2.42), it produces more intense white flashes. Its Fire rating (0.104 versus 0.044) delivers the kind of rainbow dispersion that turns heads. Your ring will be impossible to ignore.

ENDURING DURABILITY

A ring meant for a lifetime should be built to last. Ranking 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, moissanite is second only to diamonds. It is highly resistant to scratching and chipping, making it perfectly suited for everyday wear — through every adventure, every milestone, every year.

THE SMARTEST INVESTMENT

We welcome comparisons. For the exact same size and visual impact, a traditional diamond costs 15 to 25 times more than our premium moissanite. That is not a compromise — it is a smarter allocation of your resources toward the life you are building together.

History of moissanite

Moissanite has earned a lot of attention in the recent years, but has been around for much longer than that. It was first discovered by a man named Moissan in 1893, in a meteor crater of all places! Natural occurring moissanite is extremely rare for that exact reason, it can only be found in very limited and specific locations. As such, all premium moissanites on the market are lab-created.

Conflict-Free, Eco-friendly & Completely Sustainable

You will often hear us mention that our gems are conflict-free, eco-friendly and entirely sustainable for this exact reason, it is lab-grown and created. This means the Earth and its inhabitants were not harmed or disrespected through the production of the gem, which is very important to us.

Moissanite vs Diamond

Zen Moissanites are premium moissanites made from silicon carbide - 4H crystalline polytype version, like all other premium moissanites on the market. This means that chemically, it is very different from a diamond, but resembles it so much which is why it has become such a leading option for engagement jewelry in the past few years.

Moissanites are often compared to a diamond because diamonds have been the go-to option for engagement jewelry and any heirloom pieces due to their leading durability. This is achievable since a diamond’s hardness is a 10 on the Mohs scale (highest possible). The second gemstone on that list are moissanites, coming in at a 9.25, which means you can wear it every day for the rest of your life.

In terms of reflection of light (flashes), moissanites actually beat diamonds in two ways. Through its brilliance (2.65 vs a 2.42) that can be seen as white flashes of light as well as through its fire (0.104 vs 0.044) that can be seen as rainbow flashes of light.

One final category in which moissanites are often compared to diamonds are their price tag. Moissanite introduce a way to have the ring of your dreams, without having to break the bank! For example, for the same amount of carats, a diamond will cost you between 15 to 25 times the cost of an equivalent sized moissanite.
