✨ What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone first discovered in a meteor crater by French chemist Henri Moissan. While diamonds form in the Earth over billions of years, moissanite is created using advanced technology—making it eco-friendly, ethical, and entirely conflict-free.

💍 Moissanite vs Diamond: The Ultimate Comparison

lab diamond vs moissanite

1. Brilliance & Sparkle

  • Moissanite has a higher refractive index (2.65–2.69) than diamond (2.42), which means more fire and sparkle.
  • In real life, moissanite often sparkles brighter than a diamond—especially under direct light.

“Moissanite dances in the light—like love at first sight.”

2. Hardness & Durability

  • Diamond scores a 10 on the Mohs hardness scale; moissanite is close behind at 9.25.
  • Both are suitable for daily wear—ideal for engagement rings and wedding bands that last a lifetime.

3. Clarity & Color

  • High-quality moissanite, like the ones used in Ornalux jewelry, are virtually flawless and colorless (D-grade).
  • Diamonds, especially those with high clarity and color, come at a significantly higher cost.

4. Price

  • Moissanite costs up to 90% less than a natural diamond of similar size and appearance.
  • That means you can go bigger and brighter without breaking the bank.

“With moissanite, you’re not compromising—you’re outsmarting.”

5. Ethical Sourcing

  • Moissanite is lab-grown, which means it's free from the conflict zones, unethical labor, and environmental damage tied to diamond mining.
  • If you value sustainability, moissanite is the clear choice for a clean conscience.
