Moissanite Comparison: F1 vs MC vs AGS0
MoissaniteCo proudly offers three brands of Moissanite:
1) Forever One Moissanite (name brand)
Forever One Moissanite, created by Charles & Colvard, is renowned as the most premium Moissanite brand on the market. As the original creator of Moissanite gems, Charles & Colvard produces crystals considered the finest in the world.
Since 2005, MoissaniteCo.com has been a trusted vendor of these gems, including the highly sought-after Forever One Moissanite. Known for their colorless appearance, excellent cut, and near-flawless clarity, these gems are a top choice for those seeking high-quality Moissanite jewelry. We proudly feature Forever One as one of our core Moissanite brands.
2) MoissaniteCo Brand (best value)
In 2017, we introduced the MoissaniteCo brand as a cost-effective alternative to our premium line. These gems are made from the same Moissanite crystals as our Forever One brand, offering the same high quality without the brand-name price.
MoissaniteCo gems are a top alternative to Forever One, with most customers unable to tell the difference due to their similar colorless appearance, excellent cut, and near-flawless clarity. They offer an exceptional value for those seeking high-quality Moissanite jewelry at a more affordable price.
3) AGS0 Super Ideal Cut Moissanite (best cut)
Our AGS0 Moissanites are crafted to meet the highest "000" grade on the American Gemological Society's cut scale, matching the super ideal specifications of a round brilliant hearts and arrows diamond. Cut to a higher standard than 99% of diamonds, they boast flawless cut, symmetry, and polish.
Created in collaboration with European engineers using advanced robotic technology, our AGS0 Moissanites achieve unmatched precision and consistency, surpassing the quality of hand-cut stones. Their faceted girdles further distinguish them from other Moissanites on the market.
We offer AGS0 super ideal cut Moissanites in round brilliant H&A, ranging from 0.75ct to 6ct, with exceptional colorlessness and clarity. Occasionally, we may provide limited near-colorless stones upon request.
