Why Choose Moissanite? A Sparkling Alternative to Diamonds

1. What is Moissanite?

Discovered by French scientist Henri Moissan in 1893, moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral that’s now mostly created in labs. It’s made of silicon carbide, giving it a distinctive sparkle that’s even more brilliant than diamonds.

2. The Brilliance of Moissanite

Moissanite’s fire (the dispersion of light into various colors) is actually greater than that of diamonds. It reflects more light, making it appear even more dazzling. This fire is one of the reasons it’s so sought after, especially for engagement rings, where a brilliant shine is a must.

3. Durability and Hardness

Moissanite is incredibly durable, ranking 9.25 on the Mohs scale of hardness (just below diamonds at 10). It’s resistant to scratching and will last a lifetime, making it an excellent choice for daily wear.

4. Ethical and Affordable

Unlike diamonds, moissanite is typically created in labs, making it a more sustainable and ethical choice for many buyers. Additionally, it offers an affordable alternative to diamonds, often at a fraction of the cost for the same size and brilliance.

5. Moissanite vs. Diamond: Which Is Right for You?

Choosing between a diamond and moissanite comes down to personal preference and values. Moissanite offers unmatched sparkle and affordability, while diamonds are deeply traditional and carry a legacy of rarity.
