Why Do We Still Admire Diamonds When Moissanite Outperforms Them in Every Way?

The Science Behind the Sparkle


Moissanite has a refractive index of about 2.65 compared to 2.42 for diamond. That small difference means it bends more light, creating up to 2x the fire and rainbow flashes. The result is a stone that looks brighter and livelier in everyday light.

For decades diamonds have been marketed as the ultimate symbol of love and status. 

But in 2025 women are starting to ask a different question.

If there is a smarter way to shine why would we settle for outdated traditions?

That question is where Pearl & Ivy began. 

 

We believed luxury should not be about status or impossible price tags. It should be about feeling confident beautiful and true to yourself every single day.

We spent months shaping this vision into reality. Late nights early mornings and countless conversations about what elegance should feel like. We refused to accept that luxury had to be rare or exclusive. We wanted to create something women could truly live in.

 

And after all that we are proud to present our very first creation:

 

The Signature Tennis Bracelet. 

A piece that represents the balance we searched for timeless elegance designed for everyday life.

It feels so light and comfortable, I forget I’m wearing it until someone compliments me. And that happens a lot.

Maya Thompson

Quiet luxury is exactly the right way to describe it. Subtle, refined, but the moment you notice it, you cannot look away.

I hesitated at first because I always thought a diamond tennis bracelet was the only option. But honestly this one sparkles even more and I wear it all the time.
