Q. How does moissanite
compare to diamonds and cubic zirconias?
A. Moissanite has more
brillliance, fire and luster than diamonds
and cubic zirconias. The only jewel harder
than moissanite is diamond. Moissanite will
never fade, cloud, change color or look different
from the day you purchased it. Moissanite is
at 9.25 on the hardness scale. Diamond is 10.
Q. The "Three
C's: cut, color and clarity that apply to diamonds, are they
the
same for moissanite?
A. In some cases yes, and some no. The cutting for any given shape of
moissanite is done in slightly different proportions than those for a
diamond. Each Moissanite jewel is hand cut to specifications that maximize
the appearance and beauty of Moissanite. This special hand-cut faceting
gives each Moissanite jewel an unbelievable brilliance and fire. The
color of Moissanite compares to diamonds of I-J color. The clarity of
Moissanite is clean to the eye and can be generally compared to a VS
diamond. It's very important to note, each Moissanite jewel is unique
and no two are identical.
Q. How can I be assured of the
quality of moissanite?
A. To ensure the highest quality, all created moissanite jewels are evaluated
to exacting standards by specially trained gemologists, quality control
personnel, and automated video imaging equipment.
Q. What are the warranty terms?
A. Your moissanite is warranted for a lifetime against any manufacturing
defects. In the unlikely event that there is ever a problem with the
optical qualities of the Moissanite jewel, simply return the jewelry
and Image Fine Jewelry will either (at our option) repair or replace
the jewel at no charge. Chipped or broken stones are excluded from the
