Why Moissanite?

Originally discovered in a meteorite, today’s moissanite is ethically lab-created, avoiding the environmental damage and ethical concerns of traditional mining.
• Its unmatched brilliance, exceptional durability, and affordability make it an ideal choice for conscious consumers seeking timeless luxury without compromise.
• At Cora, we pair moissanite with recycled metals to craft jewelry that embodies sustainable elegance.
• By choosing moissanite, you’re not just selecting a gemstone—you’re making a statement about beauty, responsibility, and a brighter future.

D Color Grade

A D color grade on a Gemological Research Association (GRA) certification refers to the highest level of colorlessness in a diamond or gemstone. This grading aligns with the industry-standard color grading system used by organizations like the Gemological Institute of America (GIA).

• Colorlessness: A D-grade diamond is completely colorless, making it the most desirable and rare. It lacks any detectable hue when viewed under controlled lighting and magnification.
• Value: D color diamonds are the most valuable within the color grading scale due to their rarity and purity.
• Scale Position: The D grade is at the top of the diamond color grading scale, which ranges from D (colorless) to Z (light color).
• Certification: On a GRA certificate, the D color grade will typically be noted alongside other characteristics like clarity, cut, and carat weight.

VVS1 Clarity Grade

A VVS1 clarity grade on a Gemological Research Association (GRA) certificate refers to "Very Very Slightly Included 1", which indicates an exceptionally high level of clarity in a diamond or gemstone

• VVS1 clarity is highly sought after due to its rarity and visual perfection.
• VVS1 is near the top of the clarity scale, just below Flawless (FL) and Internally Flawless (IF) grades.
• It offers nearly flawless quality at a slightly more accessible price point than FL or IF grades.
• VVS1 clarity diamonds or gemstones have very minute inclusions that are extremely difficult to see under 10x magnification.
• To the naked eye, a VVS1 diamond or gemstone will appear completely flawless, as the inclusions are too small to detect without specialized tools.

Our gold vermeil designs feature a luxurious layer of 18k solid gold (at least 2.5 microns thick) expertly bonded over 925 sterling silver. This finish is five times thicker than standard gold plating, providing enhanced durability and long-lasting beauty.

Recycled Silver and Gold

We use high-quality recycled 925 sterling silver and gold in our designs, reducing environmental impact without compromising quality. The recycling process preserves the purity of the gold and silver, ensuring each piece meets the highest standards of craftsmanship and sustainability.
