Moissan diamonds

Lab-grown, eco-friendly and just as sparkling, Moissan diamonds are an increasingly popular alternative to diamonds that devastate the environment

This scintillating book relates the story of both Henri Moissan and the jeweler of the same name, from the discovery of silicon carbide in 1906, to the electric arc furnace used to synthesize artificial diamonds, to the growing popularity of ethical and sustainable alternatives to diamonds.
