Understanding Our Quality Standards
At Moisse & Silver Co., we exclusively use the highest grade Moissanite to ensure every piece radiates perfection.
D Color Grade: This is the highest possible color grade for a gemstone. It represents a "Colorless" stone, free from any yellow or brown tints, allowing for maximum light transparency.
VVS1 Clarity: Standing for "Very, Very Slightly Included," VVS1 means that any natural inclusions are invisible even under 10x magnification. This ensures a flawless, mirror-like sparkle.
