What is a Moissanite Diamond Made From?

When French scientist Henri Moissan discovered moissanite in an Arizona meteor crater in 1893, he initially mistook it for diamonds. However, his sparkling find was something entirely unique. After further investigation, it became evident that this new stone was made from silicon carbide, renowned for its incredible strength, durability, and thermal conductivity, similar to diamonds.

Owing to the rarity of natural silicon carbide, most moissanite is lab-created through meticulous processes. Each stone undergoes a two- to three-month journey involving intense heat and pressure, yielding a gem that radiates like natural moissanite. The result is a lasting diamond alternative destined to shine for generations.

What are the Pros and Cons of Moissanite?

Pro: Affordable Pricing

Moissanite offers a blend of premium quality and affordability. With more than twice the fire of a diamond but at a fraction of the cost, it exemplifies luxury without the hefty price tag. According to the International Gemstone Society, you can acquire a moissanite stone equal in size to a one-carat diamond for less than $1,000—three times cheaper without compromising on color or clarity. Our lab-created diamond simulants can cost up to 90% less than mined diamonds while maintaining dazzling brilliance, durability, and unique premium cuts. It's no surprise that many modern couples prefer moissanite for engagement rings and jewelry.

Pro: Ethical Origins

Moissanite's lab-grown nature makes it a conflict-free, ethical choice. Unlike mined gems, it avoids environmentally harmful practices. Crafted with sustainable methods, these stones allow you to wear your jewelry with pride, knowing that it was created with care for the earth. From the cut to the clarity and color, every aspect is engineered with ethical precision.

Pro: Irresistibly Sparkly

For those looking to dazzle, moissanite competes with the brilliance of mined diamonds. Its double-refractive nature results in a mesmerizing multi-hued rainbow of sparkle with every turn. Unlike single-refractive diamonds, which emit colorless flashes, moissanite's structure splits light into a vibrant display. This feature enhances the fire, brilliance, and sparkle in pendants, engagement rings, or custom designs.

Pro: Seriously Durable

Moissanite scores 9.25 out of 10 on the Mohs Scale of Hardness, just below diamonds. This durability makes it perfect for center stones in fine jewelry. Its tensile strength ensures that lab-grown diamond simulants deliver elegance and resilience, reducing worries about chips or cracks. While some cuts and shapes may need delicate handling, special settings can protect against daily wear and tear. Consult our experts for advice tailored to your needs.

Pro: Visibly Flawless

If gemstone clarity is a priority, moissanite is an excellent option. Our moissanite stones achieve a clarity grade of VS or higher, ensuring a flawless appearance to the naked eye. These gems retain their brilliance over time, making them perfect for heirloom pieces that sparkle for generations.

Con: Slightly Different Sparkle Than Diamonds

Although moissanite outshines mined diamonds in brilliance, its double-refraction causes a different sparkle pattern. Free from inclusions and color variations, moissanite's dramatic rainbow shimmer contrasts with diamond's white sparkle. While subtle, experts can distinguish between the two based on this characteristic alone.

Con: Hints of Warm Undertones

Colorless moissanite rivals diamonds' versatility, but its hue may vary slightly. Some stones closely match near-colorless diamonds, while others might have hints of yellow or green. Our experts can help you choose the perfect gem, each graded D, E, or F on the color scale, with D being colorless.

Con: Less Access to Repairs, Resizing, and Resetting

Moissanite's innovation may pose challenges in finding specialized jewelers for repairs or resizing, unlike those familiar with mined diamonds. Critics also argue that moissanite may not retain value over time, a critique also applicable to mined diamonds and other alternatives. However, moissanite's durability and lasting brilliance suggest it could offer unmatched longevity. For care tips on your moissanite jewelry, our experts are always available.
