The Story Behind This Ring
Black Moissanite — Born from a Meteorite, Chosen for the Bold
Moissanite was first discovered in 1893 by French scientist Henri Moissan inside a meteorite crater in Arizona, initially mistaken for diamond due to its exceptional brilliance and refractive index. Genuinely rare in nature, the moissanite used in jewelry today is lab-grown. Black moissanite takes that further, its deep opaque color achieved through the lab-growing process to produce a consistent, rich inky hue that colorless moissanite simply cannot replicate.
It ranks 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the most durable gemstone choices for everyday wear. In the Raven, an emerald-cut black moissanite sits within an Art Deco filigree setting, its clean geometric lines and deep color chosen to let the architecture of the ring do the talking. No sparkle required.
