The labs that create fancy colored Moissanite (pink, yellow, etc.) have developed a permanent process to whiten the color of Moissanite. Moissanite whitening technique can be applied to convert I-J according to the diamond color grading scale, to G-H grade thus creating a new category for Premium White Treated Moissanite.
Round, cushion, princess, and oval cut enhanced Moissanite are available in select sizes.
The enhancement does not affect the fire or brilliance of the Moissanite stone, nor does it affect the physical properties of the gemstone (it is just as hard and scratch resistant as a regular Moissanite).
This is a newly developed process of using heat and ion induction to whiten stones or create beautiful colors. Charles & Colvard doesn not sell enhanced or colored stones. The enhanced moissanite jewels that some retailers are offering have been enhanced via post-market treatment in their labs. The Charles & Colvard warranty is nullified by post-market treatments and does not cover such jewels. However companies that sell enhanced or colored stones offer a lifetime guarantee. Moreover if you read the details of the Moissanite warranty, Charles & Colvard requires that you go through the retailer for all warranty claims. Therefore, whether you purchase a regular or an enhanced Moissanite, in the event you have a warranty claim, you would need to go through the company you've purchased your stone from.
