Color

The color of your stone is important, so, how does moissanite hold up to the beautiful clarity of a natural diamond? Moissanite has the amazing capacity to be completely colorless to almost colorless just like a natural diamond! Though there are slight differences in the two stones moissanite’s color is as beautiful and crystal clear as a natural diamond.

Clarity

Clarity is possibly one of the most important factors when choosing a stone, how does moissanite stand up to natural diamonds when it comes to the physical defects of the stone? Not what you were thinking I am sure. The truth is that moissanite will only be sold at a grade of VS or above, diamonds on the other hand can be sold with a lower grade and cost more money. The long and the short of it is that you will never find a flaw with your naked eyes in a moissanite stone but you can purchase a natural diamond with visual defects. Why not just buy a higher grade diamond? You can of course, but when on a budget you might be limited on the grade of the natural diamond. Moissanite can ensure that you stay under budget and still get everything you want. Which brings me to my favorite difference in the two stones.

Brilliance

First and foremost, moissanite has a beautiful brilliance to it. The brilliance of a stone is signified by the amount of light refracted from one facet to another and then sent through the top of the diamond, or in other words, how it sparkles. A moissanite has more of a rainbow sparkle as oppose to a diamond which has both a white sparkle and rainbow sparkle to it. The amazing rainbow sparkle of a moissanite is the main reason someone would be able to tell that your stone is not a diamond but they will still be mesmerized by the disco ball effect of the moissanite. Your moissanite ring will be more brilliant than a natural diamond any day.

Ethics

Something else people tend to consider when buying a wedding or engagement ring is where the stone came from. With diamonds it can be hard or nearly impossible to know if it came from an ethical source. Without a certificate for your diamond you might be left worrying if your new favorite piece of jewelry came from the labor of a person working in terrible working conditions with unfair practices. With moissanite however; there is no second guessing its origin. All moissanite stones are humane and ethically created. You should always get the certification for your natural diamonds to ensure its ethics, or you can just not worry about it at all with a moissanite stone.
