About Us
Founded by two lovers, The Prestwick Place is a fine jewellery brand, specialising in lab-created Moissanite engagement rings designed to last a lifetime. Hand-crafted in Australia by a team of highly-trained jewellers, we provide transparent pricing and conflict-free stones. The Prestwick Place Moissanite are an affordable possibility in a market where options have never before existed.
To be clear, the Moissanite is not a diamond imposter, it is in fact a very rare gem stone that rivals the diamond due to its refractive and hardness qualities.
Moissanite share a lot of optical similarities to the diamond although, they are chemically and compositionally different.
In fact, Moissanite have a higher refractive index than diamonds do (more sparkle).
In addition to this is the hardness of the Moissanite stone. (MOHS scale)
On this scale diamonds are a 10 and a Moissanite is a 9.5-9.25. Followed by the Ruby (9), Sapphire (9), Emerald (7.5).
This ranking makes Moissanite the seconds hardest natural stone known to man.
Moissanite are incredibly strong and never change colour, become dull or lose their sparkle.
They are also completely traceable, conflict-free and eco-friendly.
The Prestwick stones are so pure and so white that they exceed that of any ordinary gem.
Our stones are an unfailingly pure, white colourless gems in the premium D-E-F range, with extreme hardness.
The Prestwick stones are available in limited quantities and shapes.
Artfully crafted in a laboratory from silicon carbide, one of the hardest minerals in the world, the Prestwick stones are guaranteed to last a lifetime.
Lastly, we do not use CAD's - we hand make each ring.
A CAD is a drawing of your ring that is created on computer software which is then used to make a cast mould of a ring. When using a CAD, the artistic, human element is removed and we don't believe this is how engagement rings should be made.
Just like sustainable food and fashion; handmade, artisan jewellery havehigher levels of materials and craftsmanship involved when making them. This is the special quality missing from all mass-produced rings.
