Understanding Our Jewelry Materials
At MoissyXAlly, we believe in transparency and helping our customers understand the materials used in our jewelry. Below is a quick guide explaining the differences between moissanite, sterling silver, gold filled jewelry, and solid gold.
Moissanite
Moissanite is a premium gemstone known for its exceptional brilliance and durability. It closely resembles diamonds but offers incredible sparkle at a more affordable price.
Why customers love moissanite:
• Brilliant fire and sparkle that rivals diamonds
• Extremely durable (9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale)
• Ethical and lab-created
• Affordable luxury
All moissanite stones sold by MoissyXAlly are high quality stones selected for maximum brilliance.
925 Sterling Silver
Sterling silver is a precious metal made from 92.5% pure silver, making it durable enough for everyday jewelry.
Benefits of sterling silver:
• Real precious metal
• Hypoallergenic for most people
• Durable and long lasting
• Can be polished to restore shine
Many of our moissanite pieces are set in 925 sterling silver for a beautiful and affordable luxury look.
Gold Filled Jewelry (18K Gold Filled)
Gold filled jewelry contains thick layers of real gold permanently bonded to a base metal core. Unlike gold plating, gold filled jewelry contains much more real gold and is significantly more durable.
Benefits of gold filled jewelry:
• Thick layer of real gold
• Much more durable than gold plated jewelry
• Resistant to tarnishing with proper care
• Great alternative to solid gold
With proper care, gold filled jewelry can last for many years.
Solid Gold
Solid gold jewelry is made entirely from gold alloys. It is the most durable and valuable type of gold jewelry.
Benefits of solid gold:
• Does not tarnish or fade
• Long lasting heirloom quality
• High intrinsic value
