A Tale of Two Beauties: Moissanite vs. Diamond

THE GIST: Moissanite is the best diamond alternative of all time. It’s strong enough for everyday wear, sparkles more than a diamond, and is a fraction of the cost. Do you want a gemstone that performs like a diamond and is more affordable? Moissanite is the answer.

 

A Duel of Brilliance:
Moissanite Sparkles More
than a Diamond

Let’s start with why we love diamonds so much: the sparkle! Well, Moissanite is far more brilliant than a diamond. That’s right! Moissanite has a higher refractive index. This means it reflects light better, emitting more sparkle than a diamond. Let’s be honest ~ who doesn’t appreciate a little extra sparkle? Add in the sustainability and affordability of Moissanite over a diamond. And it’s hard not to at least consider it.

 

A Glittering Divide:
The Many Charms
of Moissanite

I love diamonds. But I also love me a great deal. And Moissanite delivers on that front. It costs a fraction of a diamond’s price tag. And all without sacrificing sparkle or beauty. It’s made of silicon carbide, which is far rarer than a diamond. Natural Moissanite would be a lot more expensive than a diamond if more plentiful. This is the reason it’s created in a lab. And the process has been perfected over the decades, resulting in larger higher-quality stones. Some girls might turn their noses up at the idea of a non-diamond engagement ring. But I want to tell you that Moissanite is the real deal. The Moissanite we offer is the best of the best and comes with a lifetime warranty.

 

Moissanite:
Affordable Luxury

Diamonds are the hardest known mineral. Definitely, the most durable gemstone by far. But Moissanite is a very close second. It rates 9.25 on the Mohs durability scale (with a diamond at 10). It’s the only diamond alternative identical in appearance and durable enough for an engagement ring. Only a gemologist will know the difference. And it’s the second toughest gemstone after a diamond. Moissanite makes it possible to have a bigger, more impressive stone for much less.

Some will still want the prestige of a diamond. I get that, and I’m there for it. But if you’re looking for a gemstone that performs like a diamond, Moissanite is worth a look. It’s a choice that reflects a modern and conscientious approach to fashion and life.
