Common Misconceptions About Moissanite
- Moissanite has become a popular jewelry item, and more and more people are willing to buy moissanite as an alternative to expensive diamonds
- Beyond the natural sparkle, the price only one-tenth of the diamond, ask who is not tempted？
- However, there will be many people who do not understand Moissanite and have some misunderstandings about Moissanite, such as：
All Moissanite Looks Overly Colorful Or Artificial?
Early moissanite had slight yellow/green tints under certain lighting, but modern technology produces near-colorless (D-F range) and colorless options. High-quality moissanite rivals diamonds in clarity and transparency.
Moissanite Is Cheap, So It’s Low Quality?
Its affordability stems from lab-creation (vs. mined diamonds), not inferior quality. Moissanite offers exceptional brilliance, durability, and ethical advantages, making it a premium choice for those prioritizing value and sustainability.
Moissanite is just a fake diamond？
While moissanite resembles diamonds in brilliance, it is a distinct gemstone with its own chemical composition (silicon carbide) and optical properties. It has higher fire (dispersion) and a unique sparkle, making it a gemstone in its own right, not merely a “diamond imitation.”
Moissanite isn’t durable？
Moissanite ranks 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest gemstones, second only to diamonds (10). It is highly resistant to scratches and suitable for daily wear in jewelry like engagement rings.
