Moissanite has one of the coolest origin stories — born from a meteorite, perfected in a lab.

Here’s the bite-sized version of how your stone comes to life:

1. The Original Discovery (Space Rock!)

Moissanite was first discovered in a meteorite crater.
Yes… literally outer space.
Natural moissanite is almost impossible to find on Earth — which is why today’s stones are created in labs.

2. Lab-Grown = Ethical, Controlled, Premium

To recreate moissanite, scientists combine silicon + carbon, then heat them to extremely high temperatures.

This creates a perfect environment for a crystal to grow — with consistent quality, clarity, and purity.

No mining.
No environmental impact.
No questionable sourcing.

3. Slow Crystal Growth = Quality

The crystal grows inside a chamber over weeks.
Tiny changes in heat or pressure can ruin it — so precision is everything.

That’s why premium moissanite isn’t “cheap.”
It’s engineered.

4. From Crystal to Gemstone (The Art Part)

Once the crystal forms, expert cutters shape it into stones with:

• balanced proportions
• clean symmetry
• maximum sparkle

This is where excellent cut grade makes a HUGE difference.

5. Grading + Certification

Every high-quality stone is evaluated for:

• color
• clarity
• cut
• brilliance

At Kampy, all our stones are GRA-certified so you know exactly what you’re getting.

6. The Final Result

✔ ethical

⭐ Why This Matters

Understanding how moissanite is made helps you understand why it feels different:

It’s modern luxury.
It’s transparent luxury.
It’s luxury that doesn’t hurt the planet — or your wallet.

And it gives you fine-jewelry sparkle without the old-era markup.
