Meet Moissanite: nature’s sparkle, elevated by MEZI
If diamonds had a cool, conscious cousin—it would be Moissanite. Discovered in a meteor crater (yes, really!), this lab-created gem is as dazzling as it is ethical. It sparkles just as bright—some say even brighter—than traditional diamonds, without the environmental impact or price tag.
At MEZI, we’ve taken this cosmic wonder and given it our signature touch.
“I wanted to create a collection that feels truly special—pieces you can pass down, but also wear every day,” says designer Adva. “Moissanite has that brilliance and clarity we all love, but it’s also sustainable, which is really important to me.”
Engineered for both beauty and durability, Moissanite ranks 9.25 on the Mohs scale—just behind diamonds at 10—making it perfect for everyday wear. It also outshines diamonds in brilliance and fire, thanks to its higher refractive index.
The art of brilliance and fire
Moissanite and diamond differ primarily in brilliance and fire. Brilliance refers to the white light flashes reflecting from within the stone, while fire is the dispersion of light into a rainbow of colors as it passes through. Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, causing it to bend light more and produce brighter flashes, rainbow-like colours. Diamonds, on the other hand, show a subtler light pattern with more white, blue, and grey hues.
Where brilliance meets elegance: colourless Moissanite
A colourless moissanite and diamond have only a subtle color difference, with moissanite occasionally revealing faint grey or yellow tones in certain light. However, this distinction is barely noticeable unless you compare the two side by side.
Clarity
When it comes to clarity, moissanite typically has fewer imperfections, with most graded VVS1-2, making it sparkle brilliantly. Diamonds with similar clarity are much rarer and far more expensive, with moissanite being a more affordable option for a similar size and appearance.
At MEZI, our colourless moissanite combines exceptional clarity and shine for a refined, lasting brilliance.
The new Moissanite Collection captures timeless beauty with a modern edge—elegant, ethical, and effortlessly wearable. Whether you're stacking it or letting it shine solo, these pieces are made to turn heads and last lifetimes.
“There’s something magical about Moissanite,” Adva adds.
“It feels classic, but it’s fresh. It reflects MEZI’s spirit—elevated, intentional, and a little bit unexpected.”
Special heart-shaped moissanite: Where skill meets sparkle
Shaping a heart-shaped moissanite, like MEZI's Illume Heart Moissanite Pendant, requires expert craftsmanship. The curved lines and symmetry demand precision to ensure brilliance and sparkle.
