About Neor Luxe
Brilliance, Redefined
We make moissanite jewelry with more fire than a mined diamond — ethically grown, independently certified, and priced for a life that is lived in, not kept for occasions.
Our Story
Why should brilliance cost the earth?
Neor Luxe began with a question the jewelry trade rarely asks out loud: why should brilliance carry such a steep price, and such a heavy footprint? The industry's answer has always been scarcity — a scarcity that is largely manufactured, and paid for by the ground it comes out of.
Moissanite gave us a better answer. First identified in a meteorite crater in 1893 and now grown with precision in laboratories, it refracts light more intensely than diamond, throws noticeably more fire, and sits at 9.25 on the Mohs scale — hard enough to be worn every day for decades. It is not a substitute for anything. It is its own stone, with its own character, and it happens to be extraordinary.
Every Neor Luxe piece follows from that: uncompromising beauty, meticulous setting, and complete transparency about what you are wearing and where it came from. We would rather tell you exactly what a stone is than let you assume something flattering about it.
Four Parts, One Brilliance
How a stone is cut is how it lives
A gemstone's fire is not luck. It is geometry — four surfaces, each doing a different job, each cut to a tolerance that decides whether light leaves the stone as brilliance or leaks out of the bottom unseen.
Moissanite, Measured
The numbers, without the marketing
| Property | Moissanite | Mined Diamond |
|---|---|---|
| Refractive index | 2.65 – 2.69 | 2.42 |
| Dispersion (fire) | 0.104 | 0.044 |
| Hardness (Mohs) | 9.25 | 10 |
| Origin | Lab-grown, traceable | Mined |
| Conflict-free | Inherently | Depends on sourcing |
| Certification | GRA | GIA, IGI and others |
| Composition | Silicon carbide | Carbon |
To be completely clear: moissanite is not a diamond. It is a distinct gemstone with its own chemistry, and we will never suggest otherwise. A thermal tester will read it as diamond, because the two conduct heat similarly; a multi-tester that also measures electrical conductivity distinguishes them immediately. We tell you this plainly, because you should know exactly what you own.
Certified, Not Just Claimed
Trust, in writing
GRA Moissanite Certificate
Every eligible center stone is independently graded by an authorized laboratory and issued a certificate recording its measurements, cut, color, clarity and a unique reference number. It is your evidence of exactly what you own — and it matters if you ever insure, value or pass on the piece.
Precious Metal Certification
The setting is verified too. Whether your piece is 925 sterling silver, 10K, 14K or 18K gold, or platinum, the metal is documented — so both halves of what you are wearing come with proof rather than assurance.
What We Hold To
Four commitments, not slogans
Brilliance Without Compromise
Every stone and every setting is held to a standard that stands beside fine mined-diamond jewelry. We do not treat moissanite as the affordable option that gets the lesser craftsmanship.
Ethical by Design
No mining, no contested supply chains, no ambiguity about where a stone came from. Lab-grown means conflict-free by construction rather than by audit.
Radical Transparency
Every stone is certified. Every claim we make is checkable. Where the honest answer is less flattering — what moissanite is, what plating will do over years — we give you the honest answer.
Craftsmanship That Lasts
Built for daily wear and lifetime wear. A piece that only survives special occasions is not fine jewelry; it is a costume with a good story.
