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.

If you’re lucky enough to wear this purse, you better be careful not to leave it behind at a restaurant!

Inspired by the fascinating tales of Scheherazade, the ‘Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse’ is currently the most expensive purse in the world. It was designed by Robert Mouawad and it took ten artisans no less than 8,800 hours to finish it.

The heart-shaped purse was handcrafted in 18-karat gold, and studded with 4,356 colorless diamonds, 105 yellow diamonds and 56 pink ones. The total is a whooping 4,517 diamonds adding up to 381.92 karats. This all translates into $3.8 million.

Now you know why the Mouawad 1001 Nights Diamond Purse is the most expensive handbag in the world. It was unveiled at the Doha Jewellery and Watched Exhibition by the House of Mouawad, and it will continue to be displayed until Sunday.

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.
