CONTEMPORARY DESIGN. EXTRAORDINARY BRILLIANCE.

The 5 × 8 mm Kite Cut is a striking modern gemstone cut that combines sharp symmetry with exceptional light performance. Its elongated geometric profile creates a bold architectural appearance, making it an increasingly popular choice for contemporary jewellery designers seeking something truly distinctive.

Ideal for:

• Bespoke engagement rings

• Pendants
• Statement earrings
• Custom jewellery commissions
• Unique centre stones

With exceptional VVS1 clarity and D colour, every facet contributes to remarkable brilliance, crisp light return, and vivid spectral fire from every angle.

MORE BRILLIANCE. MORE FIRE.

Moissanite is one of the highest-performing gem materials available. With a refractive index of approximately 2.65–2.69 and a dispersion of 0.104, it produces substantially greater brilliance and spectral fire than diamond, creating extraordinary flashes of colour under both natural and artificial light.

Where diamond is singly refractive, moissanite is doubly refractive, contributing to its distinctive, vibrant sparkle, exceptional fire, and remarkable light performance.

With a hardness of 9.25–9.5 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is exceptionally resistant to scratching and ideally suited to jewellery designed to be worn and enjoyed every day.

THE ORIGINAL "SPACE DIAMOND"

Moissanite was first identified by Nobel Prize-winning chemist Henri Moissan in microscopic crystals recovered from Arizona's Meteor Crater. Naturally occurring moissanite is one of the rarest minerals known, with gem-quality natural crystals being extraordinarily scarce.

Today, the world's finest moissanite is grown using advanced laboratory crystal growth techniques, producing gemstones of exceptional optical quality, consistency, and durability while preserving one of the most fascinating origin stories in gemology.
