Once a week, we like to spotlight a certain piece in our collection that bears a little extra notice. Our Round Moissanite Circle necklace is a classic, popular piece – and for good reason. Clients often tell us it goes with just about anything – whether you’re dressing up for a special occasional or need a sparkling touch with a simple, casual outfit – its just easy to wear.

The circle is a strong symbol, one with countless implications. A few include:

Some circle symbol meaning keywords to contemplate:

• Inclusion
• Wholeness
• Focus
• Unity
• Nurturing
• Cycles
• Initiation
• Everything
• Perfection
• Centering
• Revolution
• Infinity
• Mobility
• Completion

With all of its multi-layered meanings, you can choose which symbolic meaning this necklace will have for you. And it can change as the years go by.

And because its moissante (more than just a diamond simulant – it’s a lab-created diamond), you’ve purchased an eco-friendly gem that radiates the same luster and brilliance of a natural mined diamond.

If you’re choosing a necklace for a partner or a relative, this is your “go to” piece. Of all of our pieces, this one always receives a resounding “Yes!” when the box is opened.

We’re long-standing proponents of moissanite here at Joseph Schubach Jewelers. Not only is it eco-friendly (it’s not mined liked natural diamonds but created in a laboratory), but its brilliance and luster remain the same.

From our side of the counter, we’ve also seen countless customers who were able to pick out their favorite piece of jewelry because of moissanite’s affordability. But people remain skeptical, thinking moissanite is just a poor man’s diamond simulant. Think again: it is a diamond. It’s simply a lab-produced diamond.

Difference between Moissanite and Diamond

• The properties of Moissanite can be compared with diamond, and it has been found that this wonder material outperforms diamond on nearly all counts.

• If refractive index of diamond is 2.42, Moissanite has a refractive index of 2.65-2.69.

• Dispersion, also called fire by jewelers, is higher for Moissanite (0.104) than diamond (0.044). Even in luster index, Moissanite (20.4%) is much ahead of diamond (17.2%).

• It is only in hardness that diamond is ahead of Moissanite, but that too is just a little bit.

• Diamond has been given a perfect 10 on Mohs scale, whereas Moissanite’s hardness is rated 9.25.

• When it comes to toughness, Moissanite is labeled as excellent, whereas diamond is given a good on this count.

• Moissanite is also comparable to diamond in specific gravity.

We’re pleased to announce our most recent collection: petite pave rings. These wedding bands and engagement rings are delicate and finely styled. It’s perfect for the woman who wants a delicate and subtly eye-catching ring.

What does pave mean exactly? Pavé settings are made up of lots of small gemstones, often diamonds or moissanite, set closely together. The gems are separated and held in place by little beads of the setting metal. The result is what looks like a continuous surface of diamonds or other gems.

Here are a few samples below. Or stop by here and take a look at our entire collection.

We’ve shown it with a couple of matching wedding bands. Seems that having multiple wedding bands is all the rage right now. Also, multiple wedding bands make great anniversary and occasion presents!

Initial pendants with pave stones and pave initials

Initial pendants with pave initials and no border

Hi everyone. We’re wondering what you think about these potentially new items. We keep seeing these pave initial pendants and are wondering if we should carry them. If we do, you’ll be able to order them with all of the usual options that we offer: 14kt white, yellow or rose gold, 18kt white, yellow or rose gold, palladium or platinum. For the stones, we’ll offer them in diamond, moissanite, Radiance, sapphire, ruby, emerald and just about anything else you can imagine.  And, they can be made with a high polish or brushed finish.

The first picture shows the series with pave set stones around the border and in the in initials. It measures about 3/4″ in diameter.

The second picture shows the series with just the pave initials and measures slightly wider, around 7/8″ in diameter.

And, of course, they’re available in any initial!
