FAQs

Why choose us?

We are insanely raw.

Why 925 / sterling silver, why not pure silver?

Pure silver is better for collectors items and investment bars, as it is too easily scratched, bent and broken. 92.5% is an alloy of other hypoallergenic metals and allows the silver to be much more durable and suitable for jewelry and daily wear.

10k vs 14k+ gold?

The number refers to the purity of gold. The K refers to karats (not to be confused with diamond carats.) 10k gold is 10 / 24 parts gold or 41.7% gold. 14k is 58.3%. 18k is 75%. 24k is 100%. The more the gold content, the deeper the yellow. The less the gold content the more durability. 14k is generally considered a good medium but 18k is perfectly strong enough for everyday wear.

Yellow vs white gold?

Yellow gold uses copper and silver and is slighly less durable. White gold uses nickel and palladium which is more durable but can trigger allergies in sensative skin. Without rhodium plating white gold can appear faded and have a slighty yellow tinge to it.

Is moissanite a diamond?

No, moissanite is it’s own gemstone. It is naturally occuring but mostly made in a lab due to a rarity in high quality, naturally occuring moissanite that is suitable for jewelry making.

Is moissanite fake?

No. Moissanite can be mistaken as a diamond due to the simlar characteristics between the two, but that does not make it fake. It a diffrent gemstone entirely, no different than say an amethyst, or an emrald.

What is moissanite?

Moissanite is a Sillicon Carbide (SiC). Not to be confused with sillicone, a synthic polymer, Silicon (Si) is a hard tetravalent non-metal chemical element (sometimes considered a metalloid). It bonds with Carbon (C) to create moissanite.

What is a diamond?

Diamond is a mineral form of the chemical element Carbon (C). It is naturally occuring and lab made.

What is the differences between moissanite and diamond?

Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond meaning it has varying amounts of rainbow colored sparkle to it depending on the cut, color, clarity and lighting situation.

Diamonds are a 10 on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, moissanite is a 9.25. That means that moissanite is 92.5 percent as hard and in the real world of daily wear and industrial use (drilling, cutting, polishing etc.) moissanite is a durable option, just as durable as diamond.

Both have an extremely high thermal conductivity, diamond is slightly higher, but by a small amount.

Is a lab diamond a fake diamond?

No, a lab diamond is a real diamond. A lab made diamond is the exact same chemical composition as a naturally occuring diamond, and can be certified by international institutions such as the IGI. A lab made diamond is more easily made with less imperfections and more clarity, but they aren’t valued as much, due to a lack of a monopoly on the lab dimond supply and a lack of artificial scarcity.

Why does moissanite pass the diamond tester?

Regular handheld diamond testers use thermal conductivity to test if a stone is legitamate or not. Since cubic zirconia, a common imitation diamond, has little thermal conductivity, they fail the tester and barely register. Moissanite on the other hand has a thermal conductivity very close to diamond and will therefore register very high or max out the tester.
