Charles and Colvard are the exclusive creators of the Moissanite jewels making waves in the jewelry industry. Celebrities such as Vivica Fox, Kiko Elsworth, the members of (the former group) Destiny's Child, and Marc Anthony are buying and wearing moissanite jewelry.
Who is Charles and Colvard? They are the exclusive worldwide marketer and distributor of moissanite. They have the proprietary patents for the manufacturing process as well as the usage of the jewels. It is in their labs that the jewels are created under specific conditions. Since 1955 they’ve been combining technology and engineering with artisan skill to produce the bold and beautiful stones.
Officially debuted in 1998 under Charles and Colvard, it was back in the 1980’s that Cree, Inc., developed the proprietary process for producing moissanite. It wasn’t until 1995 that a gem cutter suggested that the stones could be faceted into a unique and beautiful jewel. In that same year, the company incorporated and conducted extensive research to enhance and generate the look that Charles and Colvard are now famous for.
As of Spring 2000, Charles and Colvard started to distribute the moissanite jewels to select independent jewelers. Doing this has allowed them make the jewels more readily available to consumers.
Natural moissanite was originally discovered in 1893 by French scientist Dr. Henri Moissan, for whom the jewel was named. He discovered the gem fragments in a meteor crater in Canyon Diablo, Arizona. Dr. Moissan concluded that the material was a new mineral called silicon carbide.
