As a specialized jewelry manufacturer operating since 2014, we produce moissanite for over 350 jewelry brands and retailers in 45+ countries. Our dedicated factory handles everything from CAD design and casting to stone setting, polishing, and final QC, with production volumes scaling from 30-piece small batches to 50,000+ piece quarterly runs. Manufacturing moissanite at scale requires specialized tooling, trained moissanite setters who handle 500+ stones per day, and rigorous QC processes that catch defects before pieces leave our facility.

Manufacturing Process
Our production follows a standardized workflow: CAD/mold preparation → wax injection → tree assembly → investment casting → devesting → assembly → pre-polish → stone setting → final polish → plating → 16-point QC → packaging. Every stage is documented with batch numbers for traceability. Our QC defect rate at outgoing inspection is under 1%.
Quality Control
Every piece goes through standardized QC: stone security pull test (500g), setting alignment, prong smoothness (nylon snag test), finish quality, hallmark verification, size check, and visual inspection under magnification and both warm/cool LED lighting. We include 0.5% spares on bulk orders to cover any rare post-shipping issues.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is moissanite a diamond simulant?
Yes—moissanite (silicon carbide) is a distinct gemstone with its own optical and physical properties. It is not diamond, not CZ, and not sapphire. It has higher refractive index than diamond (2.65 vs 2.42), giving it more sparkle and fire.
Will moissanite cloud or fade over time?
Properly grown PVT moissanite is chemically stable and does not cloud, fade, or change color with normal wear. Our warranty covers any color change for 5 years.
How does moissanite compare to diamond in price?
Moissanite costs 90% less per carat than comparable diamond. A 1ct DEF moissanite wholesales for ~$10-15; a 1ct D/VVS1 natural diamond wholesales for $3,000-$6,000.
Do you provide certificates?
Each stone includes a Holycome grading report. IGI third-party moissanite reports are available at $25 per stone for orders of 10+ stones.
What is the difference between DEF and GHI moissanite?
DEF is colorless (most diamond-like and premium); GHI has a slight warm tint visible only in side-by-side comparison against DEF. Many customers prefer GHI for its warmer, more vintage look.
Can I order custom cuts?
Yes. Custom cuts (Old European, Portuguese, rose cut, fantasy cuts) require 7-14 additional days depending on complexity.
