3. moi
moi was started with the hope of saving people time and money while fully enjoying the shopping process. Co-founders Minnie and Wayne found the experience of shopping in jewelry stores and the ever-popular marketing of diamonds as the only option to be quite tiresome; they've simplified the process with a limited amount of all-moissanite designs between their "Classics" and "Trendsetters" styles, while providing incredible customer care. The ring above exemplifies the variety of their offerings, in The Solitaire in 18k yellow gold, inspired by a marriage between two individuals from two different countries.

Their bespoke moissanite collection is perfect for the bride who wants to defy traditional norms in wedding jewelry.

The budget-friendly stone has a hardness rating nearly as durable as diamond while its superior refractive index means it has more fire and brilliance, making it a truly eye-catching alternative. You can find it as the center stone of moissanite rings, sparkling on earrings and on your favorite piece of jewelry. Whatever your choice of jewelry may be, discover the treasures of this diamond alternative with Diamond Nexus.
10. Aardvark Jewellery
Aardvark Jewellery is a company that specializes in the unique.
