The Art of Brilliance: Understanding the 4 C’s of Moissanite
A closer look at the criteria that define brilliance beyond the diamond.
CUT
Cut determines how a moissanite captures and reflects light. Because of its unique optical structure, moissanite exhibits double refraction — splitting each ray of light for maximum fire and brilliance. Our cuts are optimized for symmetry and proportion, resulting in a scintillation unmatched by any other stone.
COLOR
VALVI moissanites are selected for their near-colorless appearance — delivering icy clarity and visual purity that aligns with our standards of quiet luxury. The result is a refined glow that remains timeless under any light.
CLARITY
Each moissanite is visually flawless to the naked eye. Free from distracting inclusions, our stones are individually selected for their transparency, allowing light to travel uninterrupted for extraordinary brilliance.
CARAT
Moissanite is slightly lighter than diamond, but appears equally bold. At VALVI, we choose carat sizes based on balance, proportion, and sophistication — ensuring presence without excess.
The Science of Light
With a refractive index of 2.65, moissanite reflects over twice the light of a diamond. This optical signature — called double refraction — produces a kaleidoscopic sparkle that is unmistakably VALVI.
Each VALVI moissanite is laser-engraved with a unique serial number and comes with a certificate of authenticity detailing its precision-cut, clarity, and luminous character — because true luxury is transparent.
