Single-crystal Moissanite is
manufactured through a patented
thermal growing process, the
specifics of which are
proprietary. The process
is very difficult and expensive,
thus preventing mass production.
Today, Charles & Colvard, Ltc.
is the sole source and global
distributor of created
Moissanite with patents for the
manufacturing process itself, as
well as for its use as a jewel.
Every Charles & Colvard created
Moissanite jewel is produced
within exacting specifications
and high quality control
standards. Each jewel is
hand faceted by a skilled
gemstone cutter to create its
maximum brilliance and enhance
Moissanite's exceptional fire.
Only near-colorless Moissanite
graded as "VG -- very good" and
"eye-clean" is available for
sale.
The favorite shape for
Moissanite is round, however,
Moissanite is also available in
limited quantities in most of
the fancy shaped cuts such as:
cushion, heart, marquise, oval,
pear, princess, radiant, square
brilliant, triangle, and
trillion. |
