What is moissanite?

Moissanite is silicon carbide (SiC) – a naturally occurring gemstone, now almost exclusively produced in laboratories, which is 70–80% cheaper than diamond and even has greater light refraction (brilliance).

Moissanite vs. Diamond

• Hardness: Moissanite Mohs 9.25 | Diamond Mohs 10 – both suitable for lifelong wear
• Brilliance: Moissanite has higher light refraction – sparkles more intensely
• Price: Moissanite 70–80% cheaper than comparable diamond
• Fire: More rainbow play – considered too colorful by some
• Resale: No stable market

Who is Moissanite ideal for?

• Couples who want maximum size on a small budget
• People with ethical concerns about diamond mining
• Anyone who wants a stone for daily use without fear of damage
