8 Reasons Why Moissanite is Better Than Diamond
Hardness 9.5 (Mohs Scale)
With a hardness of 9.5 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is extremely durable and perfect for everyday wear. It is only slightly behind diamond (10).
Environmentally Friendly
Production has a lower environmental footprint compared to diamond mining, which often has significant environmental impacts.
Appearance
Lab-created moissanites almost always have perfect clarity and color, which is rare and expensive in natural diamonds.
Durability
As mentioned, moissanite is very hard and durable, making it ideal for everyday wear.
Sparkle
Moissanite has a higher light dispersion (2.65 compared to 2.42 for diamonds), which creates more intense rainbow reflections. It looks very striking, especially in good light.
Price
Moissanite is significantly more affordable than diamond. This allows buyers to purchase larger or higher-quality stones for a fraction of the price.
Ethics
Since it is lab-created, there are no concerns about ethically questionable practices often associated with diamond mining.
Color Variety
When buying a colored moissanite, be sure that the stone does not have a coating that will wash off over time. All our colored stones (e.g., green, yellow, blue) are permanently colored.
