Moissanite Stones

Moissanite gems are brilliant, lab-created gemstones composed of silicon carbide. They exhibit exceptional sparkle, rivaling diamonds, and are prized for their affordability, ethical sourcing, and durability. Moissanite is a popular choice for engagement rings and other jewelry, offering a stunning and eco-friendly alternative to traditional gemstones.

Diamonds and Moissanite share exceptional brilliance stemming from their high refractive index and durability suitable for daily wear. While diamonds occur naturally, Moissanite stones are lab created, providing a sustainable and conflict-free choice for beautiful jewelry.

Materials Used in our jewelry

At Modern Gem, we use sterling silver as a hypoallergenic base for our jewelry.

When you see the "925" hallmark stamped on a piece of silver jewelry, it signifies that the item is made of sterling silver, indicating its high silver content and quality.

Vermeil is a type of jewelry plating over sterling silver. It features a thick layer of gold plating and provides a luxurious and lustrous appearance without the high cost of solid gold jewelry. Vermeil offers versatility, and hypoallergenic qualities while enhancing the durability.

At Modern Gem, we plate our jewelry to a 2.5 micron thickness, assuring longevity for every single style.
