The moissanite guide
Understand the stone before choosing the piece
A practical introduction to moissanite, followed by the product-specific details that matter when shopping Marhabu.
The basics
What is moissanite?
Moissanite is silicon carbide. It was first identified in natural material in the late nineteenth century, but natural moissanite is rare; stones used in modern jewelry are generally grown in controlled laboratory conditions.
It is not a diamond substitute in the technical sense: it is its own gemstone. Shoppers often compare the two because both can be colorless, durable and highly brilliant.
What matters in use
Brilliance and durability
High brilliance
Moissanite is known for strong light dispersion and visible fire. Cut, setting and lighting all affect how an individual piece appears.
Suitable for frequent wear
Moissanite is a hard gemstone commonly used in jewelry. As with any piece, the setting and metal still need normal care.

Questions
Moissanite FAQ
Is moissanite a diamond?
No. Moissanite and diamond are different gemstones with different optical and physical properties.
Is moissanite lab-created?
Moissanite used in modern jewelry is generally lab-created because naturally occurring moissanite is extremely rare.
Can moissanite be worn often?
Yes. Moissanite is a hard gemstone suited to frequent wear, but jewelry should still be protected from impact, harsh chemicals and unnecessary abrasion.
How should I clean a moissanite piece?
Follow the care guidance provided for the specific piece. A mild soap-and-water clean with a soft brush is commonly suitable, but the metal and finish should determine the final care method.
How do I know the exact stone and metal used by Marhabu?
Use the product page as the source of truth. Each current listing should disclose its material, stone, variants, price and availability rather than relying on a blanket sitewide claim.
