Moissanite Knowledage

Natural diamonds and moissanite are essentially different. Moissanite is composed of silicon carbide and diamond is carbon. They are two completely different substances. Although moissanite looks similar to diamond, it is significantly different in many other aspects.

What is moissanite?

Moissanite is a gemstone that was originally discovered in 1893 by French chemist Henri Moissan in a meteor crater. It is composed of silicon carbide (SiC) and is known for its brilliance and fire, often surpassing diamonds in these qualities. Moissanite is created both naturally (though very rare) and synthetically in labs.

Is a moissanite a diamond?

Moissanite is not a diamond. While both are gemstones, they are made of different materials. Moissanite is composed of silicon carbide (SiC), while diamonds are made of pure carbon.

Moissanite has similar brilliance and sparkle to diamonds, sometimes even outshining them due to its higher refractive index, but they differ in their physical properties, composition, and origin. Moissanite is often lab-created, making it an ethical and more affordable alternative to diamonds, but it is still a distinct gemstone.

Tips on selecting a moissanite

Shopping for Moissanite is similar to shopping for other gemstones, but there are a few key things to keep in mind.

Unlike diamonds, which are graded by independent organizations based on cut, color, clarity, and carat, moissanites are only graded for cut, color, and clarity. Moissanites are typically categorized as Premium or Super Premium. A Premium moissanite is similar to a G-H color diamond, while a Super Premium moissanite is closer to a D-E-F color diamond. Thanks to advanced technology, there is little variation in Moissanite's quality.

Most importantly, consider whether Moissanite is the right choice for you. Think about its unique qualities—such as its fire, sparkle, price, and durability—to decide if it fits your needs and style.
