Besides our Chatham lab created rubies, emeralds and sapphire offerings, we have a large collection of moissanite jewellery from Charles and Colvard, including the Forever One, Forever Brilliant and Forever Classic ranges, as featured on the Boho Weddings website.

These are available as both delicate loose gems and extravagant engagement rings, earrings, wedding bands and hanging daintily from our stunning pendants.

Charles and Colvard Forever One moissanite is a colourless gem. It grades DEF on the colourless scale, has a hardness of 9.25 and refractive index of 2.65 to 2.69.

Colourless diamonds are incredibly rare and thus incredibly expensive. Colourless moissanite on the other hand is lab created, free from ethical concerns and in a more accessible price range. Furthermore, the spark and brilliance in these colourless moissanite stones is brighter and better that naturally occurring colourless diamonds.

The Forever Brilliant and Forever Classic ranges are slightly lower on the colour grade. Brilliant is GHI on the colourless scale, yet is the same hardness as the Forever One moissanite and also has more fire and brilliance than naturally occurring diamonds. Charles and Colvard describe it as near-colourless.

When comparing loose gems side by side, you’ll notice that the Forever Brilliant and Forever Classic gems have a certain warmth to their fire, while the Forever One colourless gems are colder and whiter. It’s much like comparing white gold with silver – both are breath-taking yet subtly different in shade.

The Forever Classic collection of Charles and Colvard moissanite fall at JK on the colour scale and have a faint, yellowing colour. We love how authentic these moissanite stones are; they have vintage vibes and make for beautiful retro engagement ring styles.

These are the original moissanite gems that changed the moissanite jewellery world!
