Lab-Grown Moissanite Jewelry

Ethically crafted rings, bracelets, and necklaces with exceptional fire and clarity — backed by a lifetime warranty and free home try-on.

Why lab-grown moissanite?

Lab-grown moissanite is created in a controlled environment, so every stone is conflict-free and traceable. It has a higher refractive index than diamond (2.65–2.69 vs. 2.42), which means more rainbow fire and visible brilliance from the same cut.

At 9.25–9.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, moissanite is tough enough for daily wear — second only to diamond and harder than sapphire or ruby. That durability, combined with a lower price per carat, lets you choose a larger, more intricate setting without compromising on quality.

Every Little Luxuries piece is handcrafted in the United States, set in recycled 14k or 18k gold, and inspected at 10x magnification before it reaches you. We back it with a lifetime warranty and a free home try-on program so you can see the sparkle in person before you commit.

Frequently asked questions

What is lab-grown moissanite jewelry?

Lab-grown moissanite jewelry is fine jewelry set with moissanite stones that are created in a controlled laboratory rather than mined. The stones are chemically and optically identical to natural moissanite, with exceptional brilliance and fire.

Is lab-grown moissanite real moissanite?

Yes. Lab-grown moissanite is real moissanite — it shares the same chemical composition, hardness, and optical properties as naturally occurring moissanite, without the environmental impact of mining.

Why choose lab-grown moissanite over diamond?

Moissanite offers more fire and brilliance than diamond at a fraction of the cost. It is nearly as hard (9.25–9.5 on the Mohs scale vs. diamond's 10), ethically grown, and makes larger center stones far more accessible.

Lab-grown moissanite vs diamond: which is better?

It depends on your priorities. Diamonds are slightly harder (10 on the Mohs scale), while moissanite has a higher refractive index (2.65–2.69 vs. 2.42), meaning more rainbow fire and brilliance. Lab-grown moissanite is also more affordable, conflict-free, and environmentally friendly, making it a popular choice for modern fine jewelry.

Does moissanite hold value?

Moissanite retains emotional and wear value exceptionally well thanks to its durability and timeless appearance. Like most jewelry, the resale value of moissanite depends on the market, metal, and craftsmanship. Little Luxuries pieces are handcrafted in the United States with recycled gold and backed by a lifetime warranty, which protects the long-term value of your jewelry.

Does moissanite tarnish?

Moissanite itself will never tarnish, cloud, or discolor. It is highly resistant to heat, scratching, and chemicals. The metal setting — whether 14k gold, 18k gold, or platinum — may develop a natural patina over time, but regular cleaning and professional maintenance will keep the entire piece looking brilliant for decades.

Does Little Luxuries sell lab-grown moissanite rings, bracelets, and necklaces?

Yes. We specialize in handcrafted lab-grown moissanite jewelry across all three categories — rings, bracelets, and necklaces — each inspected at 10x and backed by a lifetime warranty.
