The Mossante Bezel Cuff on warm cream linen in soft window light: an open cuff of smooth round silver wire, each end finished with three round moissanites in rounded closed bezels, largest at the tip, the two ends facing each other across the opening.
The gold plated cuff on a cream ground, turned so its opening runs across the center: at each end three round moissanites in smooth rounded bezels with small ridged collars between them, the two largest stones at the tips facing each other across the gap, light breaking into color at the facets.

The Mossante Bezel Cuff

Three stones at each end. Nothing to fasten.

In 1893 Henri Moissan pulled bright crystals from an Arizona meteorite crater and misread them. Today that mineral is grown in a lab. Six stones of it sit at the two ends of this cuff.

Six moissanites in closed bezels, on an open cuff of 925 sterling silver. Silver or gold plated.

Something hit Arizona

An iron meteorite struck the high desert and left a crater three quarters of a mile across. It is still there.

Henri Moissan went looking

The chemist who first isolated fluorine, and who would win the Nobel Prize for it, began sifting fragments from the crater.

He was wrong, and it was better

Eleven years of work proved them to be silicon carbide. In 1905 George Kunz named the mineral moissanite, after him.

Moissanite against diamond

Side by side

Dispersion is how much color a stone throws. Moissanite throws more than a diamond does.

Two colourless round brilliant stones under one light. The stone on the left throws saturated orange, green and violet fire. The stone on the right stays cool and white.

On the wrist

Two ends, on top of the wrist

The opening sits on top of the wrist, the two ends facing each other. Move your hand and the six stones throw color.

Questions

Before you choose

Is moissanite just a fake diamond?+
No. It is its own mineral — silicon carbide — first found by Henri Moissan in an Arizona meteorite crater in 1893. It is not an imitation of anything, and it throws more fire than a diamond does: 0.104 against 0.044. The six on this cuff were grown in a lab, never mined.
Will it fit?+
It is an open cuff with no clasp. It slides on sideways at the narrow part of the wrist and sits with the two stone ends on top. If you want to check it against your wrist before you order, email us and a person will answer.
Gold plated or silver: which one?+
Look at what you already wear. If your rings and earrings are warm-toned, choose gold plated. If they are white, choose silver. Both are 925 sterling silver underneath, with the same six stones. The pair can be one of each.
Will the plating wear? How do I care for it?+
The gold plated finish wears with time, and sterling silver can darken; perfume, lotion and pool water hurry both. Put it on last, take it off for pools and the sea, wipe it with a soft cloth, and keep it in its bag.
Is it for every day, or for occasions?+
Every day first. There is no clasp to work and no chain to catch, and each stone sits in a smooth bezel with no prongs. Six stones at the top of the wrist suit a wedding or an evening out, and stay quiet at a desk on the Tuesday after.
When will it arrive, and what if it is not right?+
Free and tracked, to the US and worldwide. It ships within 2 to 5 business days, then allow 6 to 10 business days for delivery in the US; international orders can take a little longer. Then 30 days to send it back unworn in its packaging for a refund; return postage is yours.
How do I reach you, or order more than two?+
Email info@mossante.com. A person answers, usually within one working day. Write to the same address for a larger order or a change to your order. If it is a gift, tell us and we will leave the prices off the paperwork.
