- Éclat by Oui uses lab-grown GRA-certified Moissanite in D colour and VVS1 clarity (unless otherwise stated) and are manufactured with exquisite workmanship in Hong Kong.
- It resembles very closely to a naturally-mined diamond. Many jewellers have difficulty telling our stones apart from naturally-mined diamonds due to their impressive optical characteristics.
Moissanite
Moissanite is a lab-grown gemstone known for its clarity, durability and diamond-like appearance.
Originally discovered in a meteor crater, Moissanite is now created in labs to achieve the consistency and quality used in fine jewellery today.
Natural moissanite was first discovered after a meteor hit the Earth (yes, it is directly linked to stardust), which is why it's dubbed "Gemstone from the Stars".
The intense heat and pressure from this process created the gemstone naturally.
Natural moissanite is extremely rare as it can only form in exceptionally oxygen-poor environments.
As such, the moissanites used in fine jewellery today are lab-grown for better clarity, colour and consistency.
Éclat by Oui uses lab-grown GRA-certified moissanite in D colour and VVS1 clarity, unless otherwise stated.
Both moissanite and cubic zirconia are diamond alternatives with a similar overall look, but they differ in durability and how they wear over time.
Moissanite is harder than Cubic Zirconia, hence making it more resistant to scratches.
Unlike Cubic Zirconia, Moissanite is non-porous, hence does not absorb oils and lotions.
Overall, Moissanite is more durable and maintains its clarity and brilliance better with regular wear.
Although Moissanite shares a similar look and brilliance with diamonds, it is a completely different gemstone with its own unique properties.
Moissanite has a higher refractive index, giving more brilliance and fire (strong light reflection and sparkle), and ranks 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs hardness scale compare to diamonds at 10, making it highly suitable for everyday wear.
Yes, Moissanite is highly durable and suitable for everyday wear. With a hardness of 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs scale, it retains clarity and does not cloud with age.
Made from silicon carbide, Moissanite is highly resistant to scratches. However, like all other gemstones, proper love and care are required to maintain its beauty and sparkle.

A physical Gemological Research Association (GRA) certificate will be provided for pieces with stones that are 1ct equivalent and bigger.
Moissanite (0.5ct equivalent and bigger) will come its own unique serial number that cannot be seen with the naked eye, thus not comprising the design.
If you require a certification for your piece (smaller than 1ct), please reach out to us as contact@eclatbyoui.com.
Our 18k gold vermeil pieces are designed for everyday wear and can last for years with proper care.
As with all gold vermeil jewellery, natural wear over time may eventually expose the 925 sterling silver beneath. The sterling silver now reacts more easily with air, moisture and everyday substances (oxidization), creating a layer of black substance (tarnish).
To prolong its finish, avoid contact with water, perfume, lotions and harsh chemicals.
If longevity is your priority, we recommend choosing our Solid 14k Gold option, which is made for lifelong wear.
For pieces that require refurbishment:
- Within 6 months, complimentary
- After 6 months, SGD $55 applies

It depends.
You can wear your jewellery to the shower as showering does not affect the finishing of our jewellery.
However, we do not recommend it as people can be quite careless in the shower.
For example,
- there is a risk of bumping into things,
- the claws on your jewellery might get caught while towel drying, causing the claws to open up.
- No.
- Perfume is not recommended as it contains chemicals.
- Chemicals react with metals and this strips the gold plating off, exposing the silver base.
- When silver reacts with air, a black substance (tarnish) is formed.
- No.
- Pools contain chlorine which is a harsh chemical.
- Chlorine reacts with metal and this causes the gold plating to wear off, exposing the silver base.
- When silver reacts with air, a black substance (tarnish) is formed.
- It depends.
- Alcohol-based sanitizer is fine as it evaporates fast.
