Moissanite Jewellery

[Sacha]

Just a quick heads-up for them that like to see some very very sparkly stuff in 18k gold.
I W seem to have some hours devoted to Moisssanite jewellery today......and on four flexi-pays. :happy:

Not surprised at 4 flexi pays! Anyway looked quite pretty in a sparkly type of way but what exactly is this moissante? I only caught a few mins at lunchtime (yeah channel surfing!) but sure someone said it was man-made.

It's a man made diamon sustitute - but it's a lot higher quality than normal diamond sustitutes which is why there is a big price premium

It is crystals of Silicon Carbide created in the laboratory by a lengthy process to replicate a minute amount of
mineral found in a meteor crater in Arizona, pretty near the old route 66! Here's a potted history for you and
as Alan says it is a lot higher quality than Diamonique, CZ etc and is much much more exclusive.
