It's no secret that diamonds are expensive. And, as the old saying goes, Diamonds are a girl's best friend. So, what's a girl to do when she wants the look of a diamond without the high price tag? The answer is moissanite. Moissanite is a gemstone that was first discovered in 1893 by Henri Moissan, hence its name. It has many of the same properties as diamonds, including hardness, refractive index, and fire dispersion. In fact, moissanite is actually harder than diamonds on the Mohs Scale of Hardness. So, why not buy a moissanite? It's cheaper than a diamond and just as beautiful. Plus, it's unique - not every girl can say she has a moissanite!
