Moissanite Stone FAQs

View our stunning collection of moissanite diamonds for sale. Moissanite dazzles with unmatched brilliance, exceptional durability, and ethical origins, making it a popular choice for modern jewelry. Below, we've answered the most common questions to help you explore why moissanite jewelry might be the perfect fit for your next piece.

What is a moissanite stone?

Moissanite is a lab-grown gemstone made from silicon carbide, prized for its exceptional brilliance and fire due to its high refractive index (2.65–2.69), which surpasses that of diamond. With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite is highly durable and scratch-resistant, making it an excellent choice for loose stones used in custom jewelry at a significantly lower cost than natural diamonds.

What are the key aspects of a moissanite stone?

When choosing a loose moissanite stone, it’s helpful to understand the features that impact its appearance, origin, and long-term wear.

  • Benefits & Appearance: Exceptional brilliance and fire with more rainbow sparkle than most gemstones; lab-grown and ethical.
  • Colors & Shapes: Typically near-colorless (D–F), with options in hues like yellow or green; available in Round, Oval, Cushion, and more.
  • History & Origin: Discovered in 1893 in a meteor crater; natural form is rare, so modern stones are lab-created.

Is moissanite a good stone?

Extraordinary brilliance and resilience make moissanite gems a top choice for jewelry lovers. With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, moissanite resists scratches and wear from daily use.

Is moissanite a fake stone?

Not at all. Moissanite is a naturally occurring gemstone with origins as unique as its sparkle — it was first discovered in a meteorite before being ethically crafted in labs. Its distinct shine and durability have earned it a reputation as one of the most sought-after diamond alternatives.

How can you tell a moissanite stone from a lab diamond?

Although moissanite and lab-grown diamonds appear similar, moissanite's exceptional scintillation sets it apart. Its higher refractive index means more fire, creating a captivating display of light. For those who value beauty, durability, and affordability, the choice is simple — buy moissanite stones and enjoy unmatched elegance.

What's better, cubic zirconia or moissanite?

Moissanite is far superior to cubic zirconia (CZ) in terms of longevity and brilliance. With a Knoop hardness rating of 3000, it's 219% harder than CZ, which means it's much more resistant to scratching and wear. Additionally, the light dispersion of a moissanite stone is 58% higher, producing a sparkle that CZ can't match. While CZ may cost less initially, moissanite's durability ensures your jewelry shines beautifully for years.

What's better, white sapphire or moissanite?

A moissanite stone offers unparalleled fire compared to white sapphire, which can appear dull by comparison. Mossanite’s superior hardness provides more resistance to scratching and damage, making moissanite diamonds ideal for lasting beauty. Additionally, moissanite's ethical and sustainable creation makes it an excellent choice for those who value environmentally conscious jewelry.
