Why Moissanite Is the Gem to Watch in 2025
Moissanite is more than just a diamond alternative, it's a modern choice for those who value brilliance, durability, and ethical sourcing. In 2025, moissanite has firmly secured its place in the luxury market due to:
- Unmatched sparkle (higher refractive index than diamonds)
- Sustainable sourcing (lab-grown with minimal environmental impact)
- Excellent value (luxury look without luxury pricing)
Designers across London are showcasing moissanite in bold, unique styles that rival traditional diamonds. From art deco-inspired rings to minimalist everyday pendants, the 2025 collections are all about standing out with purpose.

Tips for Picking the Perfect Moissanite Piece
Buying moissanite is simple - but to get it right, keep these tips in mind:
Don’t chase carat size - Moissanite looks slightly larger than diamonds of the same weight due to its density.
Pay attention to colour - Choose DEF (colourless) grades for a clean, icy look.
Pick the right setting - White gold enhances brilliance, while rose gold adds warmth.
Ask about cut quality - Precision cuts maximise sparkle and reduce bow-tie effects in ovals and pears.
