MOISSANITEThe Karat Jewelry Group takes great pride in offering the finest Moissanite jewelry available in the USA. What Is Moissanite? : Moissanite is a gem made of silicon carbide and has very similar qualities to diamonds. Natural Moissanite is such a rare substance that it isn’t formed on Earth at all. It was only discovered because it comes to Earth in certain meteorites. Dr. Henri Moissin, a French scientist who later won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, found microscopic particles of the substance in a meteor crater in Canyon Diablo, Arizona in 1893. He initially mistook it for diamond but subsequent analysis revealed he’d found something different. Years later, other scientists learned to synthesize Moissanite in the laboratory, and it’s this artificial Moissanite that makes Moissanite jewelry possible. That’s a good thing, because Moissanite pieces possess features that make them an appealing option. The Virtues of Moissanite
We at the Karat Jewelry Group invite you to look at our selection of fine Moissanite pieces and see if one of them is right for you.

LASER ENGRAVINGThe practice of making jewelry is as old as the first recorded presence of humans on the planet and the engraving of these items can be dated all the way back to prehistoric times. The first documented examples of engraving were basic scratching and designs put on decorative rocks and stones. Engraving on metal was first really becoming popular in the early to mid-15th century and soon became a popular way to leave messages, add meaning, and designate certain items as belonging to a particular individual. This was the start of what we call traditional engraving, and for centuries it was relegated to just a handful of metals that were easy work with- mostly gold, silver, copper, and platinum.
