We of course love everything Sparkly so when we heard about Moissanites, the latest diamond alternative, we had to know more. Aside from the cost difference, another positive aspect is you never have to wonder if you're buying ethically when it comes to moissanite. Moissanite is made of a lab created material that's actually made in a hi tech facility in North Carolina. All moissanite is made exclusively in the United States by Charles & Colvard, who have been creating moissanite for over 20 years.

Moissanite, although found in nature, must be grown in a laboratory as it is too rare to mine. Lab-created gemstones eliminate the issues associated with overseas mining operations, including child labor and war funding. Charles & Colvard Created Moissanite® is exclusively grown in the U.S, at a state of the art facility operates under the most stringent guidelines.

Not only is moissanite is zero conflict, it also has a smaller environmental impact. The sheer size and harsh means of extracting gemstones from beneath the earth’s surface is enough to make you wonder – how could this possibly not damage the environment? Gemstone mining operations have been scientifically shown to cause irreversible damage to the environment when they fail to follow regulations set forth by our governments. Choosing lab-created moissanite reduces the reliance on mining, and supports a small facility that sources its metals and jewelry settings from the most responsible of vendors.
We love learning more about new trends in the diamond industry, and it sounds like moissanite is not only beautiful, but also a great way to buy something you can trust.
