Obviously, we’re pretty big fans of moissanite at Charles & Colvard®, and we get super excited when jewelry designers share the same passion for our gemstones. Nathalie Betito, Head Designer of Venazia Haute Couture, is one such designer. We were able to catch up with her at JCK Las Vegas and, as always, were inspired by her latest designs and lovely spirit!
For fun, we asked Nathalie why she loves moissanite, and here’s what she had to say.
Top 5 Reasons Nathalie of Venazia Loves Moissanite:
Moissanite has more fire and brilliance than any other gem on earth. It has 2.4 times the fire of diamond and 10% more brilliance than diamond. It’s the World’s Most Brilliant Gem!
Moissanite is an everyday gemstone. Moissanite is harder than any other gemstone except diamond, which means you can wear and enjoy your gorgeous moissanite jewelry without being afraid to damage it.
I’ve never seen anything like it. So much sparkle in one place. As the new marketing director here at Charles & Colvard (hi folks!), I recently attended JCK Las Vegas—the industry’s leading tradeshow. As I walked the floor (industry lingo for a convention center full of vendors), absorbing as much industry goodness as possible, I became fully aware of just how many gemstone and design options there are in the world. Everyone there was exploring a multitude of options.
As retailers and designers flocked to the Charles & Colvard booth, I met so many moissanite fans and moissanite newbies. I had several conversations about the differences between moissanite and diamond. So, I feel that this is the perfect time to discuss what makes moissanite unique.
Moissanite is not a fake diamond. It’s a rare and natural mineral also known
