Side by side comparison of moissanite vs diamonds.

Durability
Moissanite and diamond are both the hardest stones. Diamonds are, of course, the hardest known mineral, rated 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Moissanite follows the diamond, rated 9.25, which means that they are also incredibly hard. In fact, this makes it one of the hardest substances in the world.

Brilliance
Both diamonds drink moissanite with a high refractive index, which gives the stone its sparkle. Moissanite, however, has a higher refractive index, making it more "brilliant" in the light. The second point is that light does not pass through moissanite in the same way as it does through a diamond. This produces the hotter, slightly iridescent sparkle that you see in moissanite and diamonds.

Color
Both moissanite and diamonds can be "colorless". Moissanite and diamonds can also be slightly cloudy, yellowish or grayish, depending on the quality. When it comes to absolute clarity. Diamonds are technically capable of achieving higher levels of clarity.

Sourcing
Moissanite is a good choice for those who are environmentally conscious, as it does not require mining. Likewise, you will not encounter "blood diamonds" in moissanite. Although many of the stones themselves are purchased from Asia, they are done in regulated factories, with proper working conditions. Of course, diamonds also have a bad history of "blood diamonds". They have been mined extensively for diamonds, causing damage to the natural beauty of the earth.

Price
Moissanite and diamonds differ greatly in price. However, on average, moissanite sells for an extremely low price for the same stone. Unfortunately, many companies still charge outrageous prices for their products simply because they still end up being cheaper than diamonds. Our store is the first to offer the same product at an affordable price. We don't rely on huge premiums or ripping people off, we are banking on the fact that this makes us the first in time.

All in all, it all depends on what you are looking for when it comes to moissanite vs. diamonds. However, if you are looking for a more ethical, brilliant, and price conscious decision, we recommend moissanite rings and jewelry. Of course, we may be slightly biased!
