Moissanite
Natural Moissanite forms when a meteor hits the Earth. The intense impact, heat, and pressure create this rare gem. Since this doesn’t happen often (thankfully!), and natural Moissanite often lacks color and clarity, we use lab-created Moissanite. This allows us to offer stunning stones with top quality and sustainability in mind.
We work with two stone-cutting teams in different regions to offer more options for our clients. One team is in Surat, India, where most of the world’s diamonds are cut. They specialize in vintage cuts like old mine and old Euro, giving our stones an heirloom look. The other team is a husband-and-wife duo in China, who excel in our signature crushed ice hybrid facet pattern and modern white stones. Our stone specialists will choose the best team for you based on your design details.
Though Moissanite and diamonds look similar, they’re different in composition. Moissanite has a higher refractive index and is slightly softer, scoring 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs scale compared to a diamond's 10. Despite this, Moissanite is durable enough for everyday wear, with lasting sparkle and color. Plus, Moissanite is entirely conflict-free and eco-friendly, unlike most diamonds. We believe love should never come at the cost of someone else’s suffering.
All of our Moissanite is guaranteed to have VVS+ clarity. The color grade is chosen based on your order, with our two most popular options being modern white (DEF-color) and vintage white (GHI-color).
Moissanite naturally occurs in a range of modern white (DEF),vintage white (GHI), canary (light to vivid), green (light, mid and dark), blue (light, blue/green and cornflower) and black. We also offer lab sapphire in addition to moissanite.
Gemstones
Absolutely! We guarantee that all our gemstones are authentic, backed by regular independent lab testing by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA). The GIA ensures that our gemstones meet industry standards and are of the highest quality.
We’re committed to being transparent about the materials we use. Thanks to the GIA, we can confidently guarantee the authenticity of our sparkling gems.
The Gemological Institute of America (GIA) is the world’s leading authority on diamonds and colored stones. We submit our gemstones to the GIA for testing, where they’re certified to meet industry standards if they pass.
The GIA uses the ‘4Cs’—Cut, Clarity, Color, and Carat Weight—to assess the authenticity of diamonds and gemstones. These tests also determine if the gems have undergone any treatments and whether they’re natural or synthetic. We only use gems that receive positive, natural grades from the GIA, ensuring their authenticity.
When you buy from us, you can trust that you’re getting authentic, high-quality gemstones verified by the world’s most trusted name in gem grading.
For our Pure Diamonds (US only) collection, all diamonds are backed by the International Gemological Institute (IGI), one of the largest independent laboratories for testing and grading diamonds. IGI is known globally for its precise study of colored stones, pearls, and fine jewelry, giving consumers confidence in their purchase.
What sets IGI apart is its unique global presence, with over 20 laboratories worldwide. It’s also the only gemological laboratory with ISO accreditation, the gold standard for testing natural diamonds.
Our jewelry is crafted from a variety of precious metals, including nickel-free 925 Sterling Silver, Platinum-plated 925 Sterling Silver, 14k Solid Rose Gold, 14k Solid White Gold, 10k Solid Rose Gold, 10k Solid White Gold, and 18k Vermeil. Our Vermeil is made from nickel-free 925 Sterling Silver, plated with 18k Rose and Yellow Gold, with a coating that’s 50% thicker than traditional gold plating, ensuring it stays beautiful for years. We also use brass, a durable and recyclable metal alloy.

Bands
Absolutely, we’re always open to custom designs! Just reach out to our team via email or Instagram DM with any reference pictures or details. We’ll review your request and let you know if it’s something we can bring to life beautifully.
When ordering a wedding band, we recommend choosing the same size as your engagement ring for exact matches or daintier bands. If the band is slightly wider (2mm-5.5mm), consider going up a quarter to half size. For thicker bands (5.5mm+), it’s a good idea to go up a full half size. This is especially important when stacking multiple bands, as the more rings you wear, the tighter they’ll feel.
A sizing bar is a small gap in the pavé stones on the underside of the band that allows for future resizing. It appears as a plain metal section but isn’t visible from the top or side views when you're wearing your ring.
