GENUINE MOISSANITE PENDANTS


THE MOISSANITE PENDANT COLLECTION - The beauty of this rare gem Moissanite is like nothing else on earth - in fact, it was born of a star. Fifty thousand years ago, a meteorite crashed into the Arizona desert, scattering fragments for many miles. Hidden in its fragments was a new mineral whose brilliance, radiance and luster surpassed that of a diamond. This mineral was called Moissanite, named after the Nobel Prize-winning scientist Henri Moissan, who studied meteor fragments in the 19th century. Since naturally occuring quantities of Moissanite were so small and gem-size crystals did not exist, in 1998, Charles & Colvard introduced laboratory-grown crystals to the international market. Charles & Colvard manufactured Moissanites have intense fire, brilliance, luster and hardness.
