The Lunaire Quality Guide: Understanding What Makes Your Jewelry Special
At Lunaire, every detail is carefully considered to create pieces of enduring beauty and value.
Our Sterling Silver: Only the Finest Precious Metals
Sterling silver comes in different purity levels, with 925 and 999 being the most common. The number refers to parts per thousand of pure silver - 925 means 92.5% pure silver, while 999 indicates 99.9% pure silver. Higher purity means greater brilliance but can also mean the piece is slightly softer. Each Lunaire piece is verified through CMA certification, ensuring authenticity and quality.
Lunaire Moissanite: The Pinnacle of Brilliance
D Color: The Highest Color Grade Available
The D-color grade represents the highest level of colorlessness in gemstones. On the color scale from D to P, D indicates complete absence of color, making it the most coveted grade. Like pure water, D-color stones reflect light without any tinge of yellow or brown, creating pristine brilliance.
VVS1 Clarity: Near Flawless Perfection
The VVS1 clarity grade stands for "Very Very Slightly Included 1" - the second-highest clarity grade possible. At this grade, any inclusions are so minute they're invisible to the naked eye and extremely difficult to detect even under 10x magnification. This exceptional clarity allows light to travel through the stone unimpeded, maximizing its natural brilliance.
Brilliant Cut: Maximum Light Performance
The cut of a stone determines how it interacts with light, affecting its brilliance, fire, and scintillation. Our brilliant cut moissanite features precise angles and proportions that maximize light return. This creates the signature sparkle that distinguishes fine jewelry, with optimal facet arrangements that bring out the stone's natural fire and brilliance.
Excellence Certified: Our Quality Guarantees
GRA Certification: The Gold Standard in Moissanite Grading
The Gemological Rating Authority (GRA) is an internationally recognized gemological laboratory specializing in moissanite certification. Their certificates provide detailed analysis of a stone's key characteristics including color, clarity, cut, and dimensions. While there are several gemological certification authorities, Lunaire chooses GRA certification for its rigorous standards and comprehensive evaluation processes, ensuring each moissanite meets the highest quality benchmarks.
CMA Certification: Verified Sterling Silver Excellence
CMA certification is a recognized standard for precious metal testing and verification. This certification confirms the metal purity and composition of each piece, ensuring that when we say 925 sterling silver or 999 fine silver, you're getting exactly that purity level. At Lunaire, every silver piece is verified through CMA certification, providing assurance of authentic precious metal content.
AAAAA Cubic Zirconia: Nothing Less Than the Best
Cubic Zirconia is graded on a scale from A to AAAAA (5A), with each 'A' representing a higher level of quality:
- A: Basic quality, minimal brilliance
- AA: Standard quality, moderate brilliance
- AAA: Good quality, above-average brilliance
- AAAA: Excellent quality, superior brilliance
- AAAAA (5A): The highest possible grade, featuring:
- Perfect clarity
- Exceptional brilliance and fire
- Precise cut angles
- Superior polish
- Maximum light dispersion
At Lunaire, we exclusively use AAAAA (5A) grade cubic zirconia for our accent stones. By using only the highest grade available, we ensure that even our smallest accent stones maintain the same level of excellence as our center stones, creating pieces that sparkle with consistent brilliance from every angle.
This uncompromising commitment to using only the finest materials - from AAAAA cubic zirconia to D-color VVS1 moissanite - reflects our belief that true luxury is found in the thoughtful selection of every component, no matter how small. Each Lunare piece comes with relevant certification, providing you with complete confidence in the quality of your jewelry.
