About Moissanite

What Is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a rare gemstone first discovered in a meteor crater by French scientist Henri Moissan in 1893. Today, jewellery-quality moissanite is expertly created in laboratories, allowing it to achieve exceptional clarity, brilliance and durability while remaining an ethical and sustainable choice.

Known for its remarkable sparkle, moissanite reflects light with extraordinary fire and brilliance, making it one of the most beautiful alternatives to traditional gemstones.

At Liliaure, we choose premium moissanite for its timeless beauty, lasting durability and exceptional value.

Moissanite vs Lab-Grown Diamond

Both moissanite and lab-grown diamonds are created using advanced technology, but they are different gemstones with unique characteristics.

Neither option is "better"—the right choice depends on your personal style. If you love maximum brilliance and exceptional value, moissanite is a beautiful choice. If you prefer the traditional look of a diamond, a lab-grown diamond may suit you better.

Will Moissanite Lose Its Sparkle?

No.

Moissanite does not become cloudy or lose its brilliance over time. Its sparkle comes from the gemstone itself, not from a surface coating.

Like any jewellery, everyday oils, lotions and dust can temporarily reduce its shine, but regular cleaning with warm water, mild soap and a soft brush will restore its natural brilliance.

With proper care, your moissanite can sparkle beautifully for a lifetime.

Is Moissanite Suitable for Everyday Wear?

Absolutely.

With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is one of the hardest gemstones used in jewellery. It is highly resistant to scratching and well suited to everyday wear.

Whether you're wearing your ring to work, on special occasions or every day, moissanite offers lasting beauty and durability.

To help keep your jewellery looking its best, we recommend removing it before heavy lifting, sports, swimming or using harsh cleaning chemicals.

Why Choose Sterling Silver?

At Liliaure, our jewellery is crafted from 925 sterling silver, a premium precious metal made from 92.5% pure silverand 7.5% alloy for added strength.

Sterling silver is loved for its:

• Bright, elegant finish

• Comfortable lightweight feel

• Excellent durability

• Timeless appeal

• Affordable luxury

Sterling silver naturally develops a light tarnish over time when exposed to air and moisture. This is a normal characteristic of genuine silver and can easily be removed with a soft polishing cloth.

With proper care, sterling silver jewellery can be enjoyed for many years.

How to Choose the Right Ring Size

A comfortable fit is essential for everyday wear.

Here are a few simple tips:

• Measure your finger at the end of the day when it is at its largest.

• Avoid measuring cold fingers, as they are usually smaller.

• If you're between sizes, we generally recommend choosing the larger size for added comfort.

• If the ring needs to pass over a larger knuckle, measure both your knuckle and the base of your finger, then choose a size in between.

• Compare your measurements with our Ring Size Guide before placing your order.

If you're purchasing a gift or need assistance, our team is always happy to help you find the perfect fit.
