Moissanite vs Diamond — The Lux Aura Guide

At Lux Aura, we believe luxury should be intelligent. Every piece in our jewellery collection is crafted with Moissanite — a gemstone that rivals the diamond in brilliance, surpasses it in value, and leaves a lighter footprint on the world.

Moissanite is a naturally occurring gemstone first discovered in 1893 by Nobel Prize-winning scientist Henri Moissan inside a meteor crater in Arizona. Today it is created in controlled laboratory conditions, producing a stone of exceptional purity and brilliance that is virtually indistinguishable from a diamond to the naked eye.

With a refractive index of 2.65 versus a diamond’s 2.42, Moissanite produces more fire and sparkle than a diamond. On the Mohs hardness scale it scores 9.25 out of 10, making it the second hardest gemstone on earth and built to last a lifetime. A diamond of comparable size can cost ten to twenty times more — at Lux Aura, we pass that value directly to you.

Every Moissanite stone we use is laboratory-created, meaning zero mining, zero environmental disruption, and zero conflict. All our jewellery is set in 925 Sterling Silver — the internationally recognised standard for fine silver jewellery, hypoallergenic and tarnish-resistant. Many pieces are finished with rhodium or platinum plating for additional brilliance and protection.

Every Lux Aura Moissanite piece comes with a GRA certificate — your guarantee of authenticity, quality, and stone specification. Every piece arrives in a signature Lux Aura gift box with GRA certificate and limited warranty included.

Moissanite set in 925 Sterling Silver — the intelligent luxury for the modern woman who knows exactly what she is worth.
