Charles & Colvard is the sole source of moissanite, a created jewel used in fine jewelry. Moissanite is near colorless, with more fire, brilliance and luster than a fine diamond, but retails for only a fraction of the cost. Charles & Colvard produces moissanite jewels from silicon carbide (SiC) crystals, which it sells to leading jewelry manufacturers. Moissanite jewelry is sold in fine jewelry stores, on domestic and international shopping networks, in catalogs and online.
