Why moissanite?

Moissanite is the modern choice for everyday brilliance. With a refractive index of ~2.65–2.69 and a dispersion (fire) of ~0.104 (vs. diamond ~0.044), it throws rainbow flashes even in casual daylight. It’s tough (Mohs ~9.25), ethically produced in a lab, and offers striking value compared to traditional mined stones.

Our VVS / D-Color standard

At FITINY, we source moissanite to a clean, colorless baseline:

  • Color: D-color for an icy, glass-clear look—no warmth under daylight or LEDs.

  • Clarity: VVS for near-microscopic inclusions only; the stone stays “clean” even at close glance.

  • Cut first: We grade symmetry, polish, and crown/table proportions to prioritize fire. You’ll see brilliant return in real-life lighting, not just in a lightbox.

We batch-inspect stones before and after setting, confirming table alignment, facet junctions, and face-up contrast. The result: an even field of sparkle you can spot across the room.

How to know the quality of moissantie?

Every moissanite comes with a GRA certificate. The GRA report lists the stone’s carat weight (or total carat for multi-stone designs), material (lab-created moissanite), clarity grade, color grade, and shape/measurements (mm). It also includes a unique serial/QR code you can use to verify the certificate online on GRA official website.

How to choose your piece

  • Style: For timeless minimalism, choose solitaires. If you love a spotlight effect, try halos—the melee accentuates center-stone fire.

  • Size: Everyday subtlety: 5–6 mm. Standout presence: 6.5–7.5 mm+.

  • Metal tone: Pair D-color stones with white metals (rhodium-finished sterling or white gold) for a crisp look; try rose gold for a softer mood.

 

Care is easy

Wipe with a soft cloth after wear, rinse in mild soapy water, and pat dry. Avoid harsh abrasives. Store separately to protect surface polish.

Questions & Answers

Is VVS noticeably different from VS?

At arm’s length both look clean, but VVS keeps the stone “camera-close” crisp—great for larger sizes.

Will moissanite turn yellow?

No. Color is inherent to the crystal; dullness is usually surface residue—cleaning restores sparkle.

Can I get a grading report?

Yes. Every FITINY moissanite (0.5ct+) ships with a GRA certificate.

The report lists the stone’s carat weight (or total carat for multi-stone designs), material (lab-created moissanite), clarity grade, color grade, and shape/measurements (mm). It also includes a unique serial/QR code you can use to verify the certificate online on GRA Official website.

Is it suitable for engagement?

Absolutely. It’s durable, brilliant, and ethically produced.
