Is Moissanite Real?
Yes — moissanite is a real gemstone, but not a diamond. It’s a lab-created crystal made from silicon carbide, prized for its brilliance, durability, and ethical sourcing.
Originally discovered in a meteorite crater in 1893, natural moissanite is extremely rare. Today, it’s grown in labs with advanced techniques that create flawless stones — identical in chemistry and sparkle to the original crystal.

Why Bellari Moissanite Stands Out
Not all moissanite is equal. At Bellari, every stone is selected to meet the highest standards in colour, clarity, and cut:
-
D Colour: The highest grade on the colour scale, meaning the stone is completely colourless. This ensures your jewellery has the purest, most radiant sparkle without any yellow or grey undertones.
-
VVS1 Clarity (Very Very Slightly Included): A grade given only to stones with inclusions so minute they are nearly impossible to detect, even under magnification. This level of clarity guarantees brilliance and fire without visual distractions.
-
Excellent Cut: The precision of a cut determines how light enters and reflects through a gemstone. Bellari moissanite is cut to exacting standards to maximise fire, brilliance, and scintillation — ensuring each piece sparkles with life from every angle.
Every stone is hand-selected and handset in fine sterling silver with rhodium plating to reflect the boutique quality you expect from Bellari.
Is It Just As Beautiful As a Diamond?
Most of our clients tell us “moissanite sparkles even more than diamonds.” With a higher refractive index, moissanite produces bold fire (rainbow light dispersion), making it a captivating choice that often draws more attention in bright lighting.
The Verdict
Moissanite is 100% real — not a fake diamond, not glass, and not cubic zirconia. It is a gemstone with its own identity: modern, radiant, and enduring.
At Bellari, we see moissanite as more than a diamond alternative — it’s a considered choice for those who value clarity, ethics, and lasting brilliance. With its colourless D grade, VVS1 clarity, and excellent cut, our moissanite stands among the finest gemstones available today.
Choosing Bellari moissanite means choosing jewellery that reflects not only light but intention — refined, timeless, and made to be worn every day, not hidden away.
Whether you’re buying a tennis bracelet, eternity band, or a pair of everyday studs, moissanite gives you everything — without compromise.
