Moissanite vs. Diamond vs. Lab Diamond
Moissanite | Diamond | Lab Diamond | |
---|---|---|---|
Durability Gemstones are measured on the Mohs scale, which addresses a gem's hardness. |
Moissanites are at 9.25 on the Mohs scale, making them suitable for everyday wear. |
Diamonds, the hardest known naturally occurring mineral, are a 10 on the Mohs scale, making them the ideal option for engagement rings. |
Lab diamonds are a 10 on the Mohs scale, making them the ideal option for engagement rings. |
Brilliance Brilliance refers to the appearance of light reflected from the gemstone's interior. |
Moissanites are slightly more brilliant than diamonds, though they feature more than twice the amount of fire. If a moissanite is larger than 1 carat, the difference in fire can be very noticeable as it has a refractive index of 2.64 to 2.69. |
Natural diamonds are slightly less brilliant than moissanite and feature two times less fire, though they still exhibit dispersion and scintillation. The refractive index of diamonds ranges from 2.417 to 2.419. |
Lab diamonds are slightly less brilliant than moissanite and feature two times less fire, though they still exhibit dispersion and scintillation. The refractive index of diamonds ranges from 2.417 to 2.419. |
Color Color is the presence or absence of color visible within a gemstone. |
While most moissanites can now be grown as colorless or near colorless, they are also created in hues of teal, grey, green, yellow, and black. |
Natural diamonds occur in the colorless range, but they also occur in many colors, including pink, blue, and yellow from trace elements like nitrogen and boron. |
The rarest lab diamonds are those in the colorless range, but they are also created in many colors. Lab grown colored diamonds are more accessible than natural colored diamonds and can often be found in more vivid, fancier colors. |
Price Price references how much you will pay for a gemstone. |
Moissanite is dramatically lower in price than diamonds of the same carat weight. Their pricing is based on size, shape, and whether the stone is colorless or near colorless. |
Natural diamonds are the most expensive. As they are mined from the Earth and take billions of years to form, they are much rarer than both moissanite and lab diamonds. In addition to their rarity, diamonds are priced based on their 4 C'sand shape. |
Lab diamonds cost less than their natural counterparts due to their origin but cost more than moissanite. As with natural diamonds, lab diamonds are priced based on their 4 C's and shape. |
Sourcing Sourcing refers to the origin of the gemstone and how it was produced. |
Moissanite is grown in controlled laboratories by professionals. Once formed, they're cut and polished. |
Natural diamonds form deep in the Earth. Then, they are mined, cut, and polished. |
Lab diamonds are grown in controlled laboratories by professionals. Once formed, they're cut and polished. |
