Moissanite is a high-quality gemstone originally discovered in a meteor crater and now lab-created for jewelry use. It is composed of silicon carbide and is prized for its exceptional brilliance, durability, and ethical sourcing. Moissanite is often used as an alternative to diamonds because it offers a similar appearance with even more fire (rainbow sparkle) at a more accessible price point. KEY CHARACTERISTICS 1. Brilliance & Fire Moissanite reflects light extremely well, often displaying more rainbow flashes than a diamond. This gives it a bold, eye-catching sparkle. 2. Durability - Rated 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale (diamonds are 10) - Highly resistant to scratching, chipping, and everyday wear - Suitable for daily-use jewelry like rings and bracelets 3. Clarity & Appearance - Typically very clean (near flawless to the naked eye) - Available in colorless and near-colorless grades - Maintains its shine without clouding over time 4. Ethical & Sustainable - Lab-created (no mining required) - Environmentally conscious option - Conflict-free MOISSANITE VS DIAMOND (QUICK OVERVIEW) Feature| Moissanite| Diamond Hardness| 9.25| 10 Sparkle| More fire (rainbow)| More white brilliance Price| Much more affordable| Expensive Origin| Lab-created| Natural or lab Durability| Excellent| Excellent IS MOISSANITE “REAL”?
