Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) – Origin and Quality of Our Stones

At Ayida Moissanite , we are committed to offering you exceptional jewelry, combining brilliance, durability and accessibility. Discover everything you need to know about the origin and quality of our stones .

1. Where do your moissanite stones come from?

Our moissanites are carefully selected and cut to exacting standards. They come from specialized laboratories where they are created with maximum purity and brilliance. Unlike mined diamonds, moissanite is an ethical and ecological alternative, with no negative impact on the environment.

2. Why choose moissanite over a diamond?

Moissanite offers many advantages over traditional diamonds:
✔ Superior Brilliance : Due to its higher refractive index, moissanite sparkles more intensely.
✔ Ethical and sustainable : No mining, reduced ecological impact.
✔ More affordable price : Up to 90% cheaper than a natural diamond for equivalent quality.
✔ High strength : Rated 9.25 on the Mohs scale (almost as hard as a diamond).

3. Do you provide a certificate of authenticity for your stones?

Yes! All our moissanites over 0.3 carat are accompanied by a certificate of stone properties , attesting to their quality and authenticity. This certificate guarantees:

• The purity and clarity of the stone.
• Its color (grade D, premium quality) .
• Its origin and chemical composition .

4. How to recognize high quality moissanite?

Our moissanites are classified according to the same criteria as diamonds:

1️⃣ Color : We mainly offer grade D stones (pure white, the highest quality) .
2️⃣ Clarity : Our moissanites are VVS1 , meaning they are virtually free of visible inclusions.
3️⃣ The cut : Each stone is precisely cut to maximize its brilliance and sparkle.

📌 Tip : A quality moissanite should have a brilliance superior to diamonds and cast rainbow reflections under light.

5. Are there any color or texture differences between the stones?

No, our moissanites are lab-created with strict quality control , ensuring perfect uniformity. Unlike natural stones that can have variations, our moissanites have consistent clarity and color .

However, if you opt for natural stones like moonstone , you will notice slight differences in texture and crystallization, making each piece of jewelry unique .

6. Why are your prices more affordable than those of diamonds?

Our moissanite jewelry offers excellent value for money because:

• We do not use quarried stones , which reduces operating costs.
• Because moissanite is created in a lab, its price is more stable than that of diamonds.
• We sell directly online , without intermediaries, to offer you competitive prices.

You thus obtain a luxury jewel at a much more affordable price!

7. How do you compare a moissanite and a diamond in carats?

Moissanites are slightly lighter than diamonds. Here's a quick guide to compare:

Moissanite Size	Diamond Equivalent
1.0 carat	≈ 1.0 carat diamond
1.5 carats	≈ 1.3 carat diamond
2.0 carats	≈ 1.8 carat diamond

📌 Good to know: With the naked eye, it is almost impossible to tell the difference between a moissanite and a diamond.

8. How do I maintain my moissanite to preserve its shine?

Some tips to keep your jewelry shiny:
✅ Clean your moissanite with warm water and mild soap .
✅ Use a soft toothbrush to remove residue.
✅ Avoid harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure to chlorinated water.
✅ Store your jewelry in a soft case to avoid scratches.
