Why would I want Moissanite?


Moissanite, lab-grown diamonds, and natural diamonds are all popular choices for engagement rings and other fine jewelry. Each type of stone has its own unique characteristics that set it apart from the others.

Natural diamonds are plentyful, but very limited to the size, shape, color and clarity in which the Earth grows them. So, choosing a Moissanite instead of natural diamonds gives you access to a more perfect stone without the high cost.  It is also super sustainable – no mining is needed when you choose Moissanite!

Can you tell which is a Natural Diamond and which is Moissanite? It’s hard for your jeweler too.

Moissanite and the 4 C’s

Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight are the 4 C’s of Diamond buying. To find a high enough quality in the 4 C’s, the cost of the diamond goes up, up, up. The higher the Carat Weight, they harder to find good diamonds. Moissanite is a man made stone which can give the higher quality without increasing the cost of the stone. A 1 carat, D colored, ideal cut, VSI diamond could be $15,000 or more, where Moissanite is around 5% of that cost, just as beautiful, twice the reflective properties, and lasts just as long.

Moissanite

Moissanites represent celestial wonders. Initially unearthed within a meteorite’s crater, moissanite stands out as a remarkable substance forged from silicon carbide. These gemstones possess traits akin to diamonds, including comparable Moh’s scale durability, diverse color options, and deceptive resemblance to the untrained observer. Yet, moissanites additionally showcase an exclusive rainbow sparkle absent in diamonds. Loose moissanites offer a cost-effective alternative to their diamond equivalents, facilitating the realization of aspirations for a substantial central gem.

Color

Understanding color is crucial in diamond selection. Colorlessness is key; chemically pure diamonds must have no hue, like pure water, enhancing value. GIA’s D-to-Z system evaluates color meticulously against masterstones. Diamond color nuances affect quality and pricing. Consulting a GIA professional is vital.

 Moissanite undergoes D-to-Z assessment, boasting D color grades.

Clarity

To understand diamond clarity, we must grasp how diamonds form from carbon under extreme heat and pressure deep in the earth. Inclusions and blemishes affect a diamond’s appearance. Evaluating clarity involves considering their number, size, relief, nature, and position. No diamond is perfectly pure, but higher purity means better clarity. Some imperfections are only visible to trained graders. Precise clarity assessment is crucial for understanding diamond quality and pricing. 

Moissanite can achieve a level of clarity uncommon in diamonds.

Cut

Achieving the best cut for a diamond reflects its beauty and value. The diamond’s cut grade, especially for a standard round brilliant, relies on calculating proportions of facets affecting face-up appearance. GIA evaluates the optimal cut by examining light interaction for desirable effects: brightness, fire, and scintillation from internal and external light reflections.

Moissanite has a higher scintillation and fire than even the best diamonds.

Carat Weight

STo put it simply, diamond carat weight measures how much a diamond weighs. A metric ‘carat’ is 200 milligrams, subdivided into 100 ‘points,’ enabling precise measurements to the hundredth decimal place. A jeweler may refer to a diamond’s weight below one carat using ‘points’ alone, like a ‘twenty-five pointer.’ Diamond weights exceeding one carat are expressed in carats and decimals, e.g., ‘one point or eight carats.’

Diamond price rises with carat weight as larger diamonds are rare and more desirable. Two diamonds of the same carat weight may differ significantly in value and price depending on the other 3Cs: Color, Clarity, and Cut.

Moissanite is weighed by the same standard.

What Sets Us Apart from Competitors

Environmentally Friendly

One of the most significant advantages of moissanite rings vs diamond rings is their affordability and ethical sourcing. Because moissanite is usually lab-created and requires no mining, these rings provide a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional diamond rings.

Affordability Solutions

Though moissanite was first created for industrial and scientific purposes, it soon became popular as a diamond alternative due to its hardness and sparkle. Moissanite is favored for its brilliance and is used in scientific fields as a diamond replacement, now being more accessible due to advances in lab production. Couples worldwide now opt for moissanite as an ethical, affordable, enduring symbol of love.

Timeless Longevity

On the Moh’s Scale of Hardness, measuring a gemstone’s resistance to scratching, diamonds rate 10 and moissanite 9.5. Moissanite surpasses diamonds in fire and brilliance, making it more beautiful. Moissanite endures higher temperatures than diamonds, ensuring longevity despite being lab-made.
