Moissanites – look like diamonds, but more sparkle
Originally found in a meteor, it is now perfected in a lab. They are their own unique gemstone, similar to a sapphire or emerald.
1. The sparkliest gem
With a refractive index of 2.65, Moissanites are the sparkliest stone (Diamonds have an index of 2.4)
2. Lasts more than a lifetime
Moissanite is the second hardest gemstone (behind diamond), meaning it will sparkle for a lifetime and more.
3. Sustainable & less expensive
They are grown in a lab so they’re better for the planet and the wallet. Moissanites are 5-10x times less expensive than natural diamonds
The highest quality moissanites in the world, precision cut to maximise sparkle
The main difference in quality between our moissanite and others is the way they are cut. Most moissanite is cut the same way diamonds are, making them appear hazy and look cheap.
How our Moissanites differ:
1. High quality materials
We source the highest quality raw moissanite that's available – which is colourless and flawless.
2. Precision cut
Our independent gem cutters precision cut each stone to our specifically developed angles and proportions based on moissanite’s unique optical properties.
3. Sparkly results
The result is a bright and sparkling stone that’s clear in colour, flawless in appearance and looks like the closest thing to a diamond that isn’t a diamond.

Common Questions
Moissanite has been steadily gaining popularity as a more affordable and ethical alternative to diamonds. It is both brilliant and durable, with exceptional fire and brilliance that rivals even the finest diamonds. In fact, moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, resulting in extraordinary sparkle.
And unlike diamonds, Moissanite is not mined, so it is an environmentally conscious choice for those looking for a stunning gemstone. With its unique characteristics and level of elegance, moissanite offers endless possibilities for gorgeous jewellery.
Whether you're searching for an engagement ring or a piece of fine jewellery moissanite is the perfect choice for those seeking luxury without compromise.
There are naturally occurring Moissanites (found in small amounts of meteor craters) but they are so rare and small that you can’t make any jewellery out of it.
All the Moissanite you see for sale (unless it specifically says) is made in a lab, our Moissanites too.
No moissanites are their own unique gemstone. While they look similar to diamonds, they are chemically, optically and physically different to diamonds.
Instead of being mined like diamonds, moissanite is made in a lab, making it abundant and readily available. But just because it's easier to come by doesn't mean it's any less beautiful. In fact, moissanite displays more brilliance and fire than a diamond of the same size and quality. And because of its abundance, you can save significantly on the cost per carat.
So, why pay for overpriced mined diamonds when you could have a stunning moissanite gem at a fraction of the price?
Create a moissanite piece and turn heads without breaking the bank.
Moissanites are easier to produce than lab grown diamonds (take less energy) and are easier to cut.
It depends on the cut and quality of the moissanite. With poor quality and cut moissanite, you can tell the difference easily even with an untrained eye.
At Four Words, we cut our Moissanite to look more diamond-like and it's much harder to tell the difference between the two to the untrained eye. However, at larger sizes (greater than 2.0ct), the difference is more noticeable.
However, based on tests we’ve done with everyday people, during everyday wear, set in jewellery, almost no one could tell the difference between Moissanite and Diamond.
The Moissanites we use are as as close to perfect as possible - there might be some very small microscopic inclusions, but definitely not visible to the naked eye.
However, cheap moissanite has more yellow and brown undertones.
Poorly Cut moissanites do look cloudy! This is because a lot of brands cut the same way you cut a diamond (this is different to wanting a moissanite to look diamond-like). This creates ‘double refraction’ and makes the Moissanite look cloudy or blurry.
At Four Words - we cut our Moissanites to specific angles and proportions based on their own unique optical properties so it minimises this double refraction effect. This means our moissanites have crisp and clear facets and look bright and white.
We don’t use any brand of Moissanite - we buy our own rough (the raw material) and get it cut to our specific angles and proportions by independent gemcutters.
From the Branded Moissanite we’ve seen, they all look the same and are just a way to charge more or give the illusion of high quality.
No Moissanites don’t come with certifications because there are no independent grading companies. There is something called ‘GRA’ which we’ve seen - this is a total scam and the stones with these are low quality and cheap.
No - there is no independent grading lab for Moissanites - you need to work with a trusted jeweller like Four Words to make sure you get a high-quality Moissanite.
Compared to a diamond, our Moissanites would be considered in the colourless (DEF) colour range and VVS clarity range.
Yes! Just like diamonds, Moissanites will maintain their sparkle for life
No. Cubic zirconia is a completely different gemstone from moissanite.
They are often used as diamond stimulants because they look similar to diamonds but are very cheap to produce. Although cubic zirconias are man-made, they are much easier to produce and are made tend to 'cloud' over and scratch after a few months.
Moissanites will maintain their sparkle forever like a diamond.
No - Although they look very similar, Moissanites are they own gemstones and have their own physical and optical properties. At Four Words we work with both lab grown diamond and moissanite
