What is Moissanite and How Does it Compare to Diamond?

In this Lauren B educational episode we give you the full breakdown on moissanites as well as several moissanite vs diamond comparisons. Here are some key points to consider while watching this video:
Moissanite is a man-made gemstone made to simulate the visual properties of a diamond in terms of the shapes they are cut into, and its sparkle and brilliance.
Unlike diamonds, moissanites are usually referred to in terms of their MM measurements and then given a carat equivalent based on that
In terms of clarity, almost all moissanites are flawless.
Moissanite is priced very differently than diamonds and are about 80 to 90% less expensive
Charles & Colvard and Harro are the two major manufacturers and each one has its benefits
Telling the difference between a diamond and a moissanite is not as easy as it sounds; watch this video to find out some giveaways and also what can make them look more similar

It’s always worth remembering, if you the wearer are pleased with the gem, it’s irrelevant what other people think

[@drwakeup2407]

Agree. If you spend the money, it's your honey.💍💎👓

[@rafaelmoro9114]

That kind of value, market force on us, but its up to us believe and buy it. I would never buy that. I like moissanite.

[@arabbit9396]

Yes and no, one just couldn’t afford to pass off to those who know that it’s a diamond. So for newly weds, especially more posh newly weds in certain social circles you can imagine how embarrassing it would be to be called out when trying to pass off a moissanite as a diamond. Granted I fully agree that the moissanite is its own unique stone with a beauty that rivals even the best cut, clarity and colorless diamonds. Especially for the price.

[@KendraMorgan]

@Smiles and the Twisted MD yes ma'm. I love my moissanite ring!!!

[@KendraMorgan]

@@arabbit9396 yes, but unless you are comparing a diamond of the same cut, clarity and color, side by side (which how many times do you really think that scenario will happen) it would be very ballsy to just "call someone out" I've seen some of my friends sporting a nearly 2 carat diamond surround by 0.5 carat stones of eternity bands and they live on one salary (teacher's salary). I could tell the gemstone appeared to be moissanite but even though I've own my moissanite for over 10 years, I'd never have the balls to call them out. What If I'm wrong, what if it was a family stone handed down and they were then able to put the ring budget all into the band. You just never know so it's always best to just not say anything. And if you're the person to call someone out, that looks bad on you not the ring wearer. When I was gifted my moissanite, I researched it and found what its qualities were so im assuming most women gifted their engagement/anniversary bands would be also. They'd already know ahead of time and would even challenge someone who questioned them.

[@Nik110512]

Moissanite is not made in the lab to simulate the look of diamonds. The lab made Moissanite are made to simulate natural Moissanite.

[@TheQuinncupid]

Exactly, I have a moissanite because I don’t want a diamond and moissanite has more fire. I know it may come as a big surprise to some people, but I don’t care about diamonds.

I have made rings using mossanite and always the client has been very pleased. It’s worth remembering to ask for the certificate that should come with each gem and should have the laser etching to certify. My own take is mossanite has more fire than diamond, but each to his own.

[@filemonalvarado3633]

This is the second video I see you comment on. How’s it going

[@Austin1990]

“Fake” is when you try to pass something of lower value for something of higher value. This video obviously understands that many people are looking to buy moissanite for a fake diamond rather than simply for a sparkly, colorless gem.

[@Gemini530]

Austin P ... Fake is when it’s made to replicate another, not mistaken to be another. It’s not fake when a moissanite or a sapphire or a swarovski crystal is mistaken to be a diamond.

[@JMac-27]

And he is incorrect that they are not naturally occurring, they are and in an incredible way as well far surpassing the "specialness" in my opinion

[@Alexandra_K_]

I love both but it really depends on the shape! Unfortunately, I love oval cuts and with oval cut moissanite there just seems to be a lack of depth and detail… even with the crushed ice cuts, there’s just too much fluorescence so they look much cloudier in certain lighting…

[@donesy125]

Saying Moissanite is a fake diamond makes no sense 🙄 they are their own stone, it’s just us humans who put this superficial value on the diamond. In an alternate universe or a different time a moissanite could be valued more than a diamond. It’s all marketing anyways. With that being said my girl would probably kill me if I bought her a moissanite ring 😅

[@mandobando5998]

THANK YOU moissanite is it own stone it’s not FAKE !!! it has its own characteristic of a stone.

[@dionnelouisegoodman2756]

I completely agree, it’s just entirely stupid how much diamonds have been marked up and sold at these ridiculous prices, if moissanite got more popular it could be the same story completely. Hahaha some people just are sold on the idea of having diamond I guess, I’ve asked my boyfriend to get me a moissanite in an engagement ring for when the time comes because I think for a diamond the price is just not worth it at all. I hope you two are doing well!

[@xxsam0917xx]

It's not a fake diamond, but it's an alternative to a diamond. Moissanites came about because they physically look like a diamond.

[@user-ht9oc7gw1f]

@@mandobando5998 what makes it fake is that most people buy it to pass it off as diamonds and have no intention of telling people it’s not a diamond either because they want credit for buying a diamond without actually spending for one. the stone isn’t fake, but the way people use it makes it that way. nothing wrong with that either, as we use cz to give a diamond look without spending much and we all understand its it’s own stone.

Exactly this is what I’ve never liked how they say “moissanite can be an alternative to a diamond” because Moissanite is its own unique gemstone yes I do understand that it has and comes close to being a diamond which is why it’s called “lab created diamond” but I feel the moment we stopped with the stigma of comparing it to a diamond the better off we will be in not having second thoughts on it or like he said calling it as something fake because it is not fake.

[@graciekattan6618]

Yes thats true. It will become more valuable to the seller because it is it’s own gem. Like “look at my moissanite earrings” rather than “look at my imitation diamond earrings” is much better and makes it sound like it’s own unique gemstone, which it is.

[@user-ht9oc7gw1f]

@@graciekattan6618 I agree but value doesn’t go up just by name either. If I say look at my cz earrings it will still be seen as imitating diamonds and no one will see it as valuable. most people compare them because most people buy moissanite to get the diamond look for cheaper.

[@emileeweekes1362]

Lab grown diamonds are actual diamonds. Not moissanites. Moissanites have their own chemical makeup and are also grown in a lab.

[@slicknick645]

Why do jewelers always say moissanite is man-made when it was discovered in the earth named after the man who found it. Diamonds are also made in a lab they are just easier to find and mine from earth, but they are both natural occurring stones

[@laurenbjewelry]

There are earth mined moissanited and man made which is more commonly used today

[@carolinaburgosaguilar1494]

Thanks @slick Nick! That's what I came to say! Don't say it is man-made because then people think they are fake stones

[@redrumax]

moissanite was found in a meteorite and then copied in a lab, it is not mined. The ones sold today are all lab moissanites

[@janahogan8878]

Andrea C there is no such thing as mined moissanite,it was found years ago a very small amount and has always been man made,if someone is telling you it’s mined they are lying.

Does it matter if a material is naturally occurring if you cannot actually buy the natural material? Some people greatly value natural gemstones over synthetic.

[@gardenglory6624]

either way you don't get back what you paid for when it comes to diamond. IT has to be like the diamond from harry Winston or SOME really really famous place, considerable side clarity, but if you've paid $15000, for a ring even $35 thousand, you will not get anything near what you paid. Just like a car, AS soon as the ring leaves the jewelry store the value is less than 20%. I've spoken to many jewellers who have confirmed this before. The markup on diamonds is like 3000% their true value. To get your money back usually you have to go through a private estate sale that will find a very specific buyer otherwise you are stuck with thousands of $ of loss.

[@elroyjetson6306]

I mean your always going to have to pay for labor and the jewelers overhead for the storefront . That’s how they stay in business if they sold gold and diamonds for the price they pay it would be impossible to make money. But your right anyone who thinks buying jewelry as an investment is an idiot. They are luxury items for “showing off “ part of the appeal is that people think diamonds are so “rare” and “valuable” the jewelrs are like artists in a way though setting diamonds is a royal pain in the ass especially on anything with a pave setting .

Rich 91 Finding diamonds secondhand seems difficult. There are so many scammers. In person, a loupe could be used to verify that a stone is a diamond, but that is a lot of time lost for every fake you arrange to see. And, you are completely gambling when shopping for secondhand diamonds online.

[@dalish]

@@elroyjetson6306 Diamonds are only marked up high at high end retail stores. If you get it from a wholesaler the markup is a few percent. So it all depends on who and where you go.

Moissanite does occur natural and also in meteorites but those forms are very rare

[@Dakkibaby20]

Moissanite is its own gem for sure. I grew up in a jeweler family so I picked things up along the way. The only real way I can tell (I’m no professional) is the fire and coloring. They usually have a blue tint to the stone:)

[@mandywaynick8725]

A good way to remember diamond vs moissanite is that moissy has a higher refractive index or has more color that reflects. To rephrase what she said about carat is that moissanite is not as dense or heavy as a diamond so a 8mm diamond has a higher carat weight than a 8mm moissy

[@naibunty8909]

[@MacTX]

5:50 I'm assuming this is referring specifically for Charles & Colvard or Harro Gem moissanite? I remember when C&C were the only option for moissanite and they kept the price pretty high because no one else can bring it to market and compete. I can find loose colorless VVS1 6.5 mm/1ct moissanite on the market today (January 2022) that are less than $100 while a 1 ct moissanite from Charles & Colvard is $599 direct from them.

[@amoreoku4918]

What do you guys think about lab generated diamonds? And will you guys ever consider working with them? Thanks for the video guys, super informative as always

[@mirandamariee]

Lab diamonds are better than mined for two reasons: they are more affordable & you will get a perfect diamond almost every time due to such a controlled environment. They of course need picking through since some of them do not grow like they should; this applies to mined diamonds too.

[@user-ht9oc7gw1f]

they already work with lab diamonds. Lab diamonds will give an exact diamond look than moissanite will because they are made to replicate natural and are grown in a lab through the same process that would occur naturally with the same composition. they are more affordable, however, there is zero prestige factor and they have zero value just like a moissanite and cz. so if the look and low price is all that is important then it’s a great choice.

[@cretium805]

They say diamonds are forever, but diamond turns into graphite whereas moissanite stays the same. Moissanite can also take a lot more heat and doesn't suffer from runaway oxidation thanks to the formation of a protective oxide layer (quartz)

Hi! It should not tarnish over time, they maintain their sparkly appearance.

[@everythingjoe7011]

No, they are very hard and high on the moh scale. They are just behind diamonds. The reason things like CZ get cloudy is because over time they develop small cuts that then collect different particles and substances. Tho, like I said, moissanite is very strong and will only scratch when rubbed against another moissanite or a harder gem like a diamond.

[@stomp4412]

you could have mentioned that moissanite also grows naturally. 90-95% of them grow in meteorites and the rest only grow in one part of the world witch I don't remember. but moissanite sounds better than being completely synthetic.

These and lab grown diamonds are supposed to be half the price but are around the same as natural diamonds, Hell I seen a silver and moissanite Cuban chain go for 1200-1700$, you can get real soils gold or hollow gold and diamonds for that price and it all be real

[@sabrinamerrick1271]

I'll buy a moissanite, before I buy a lab diamond. They are their own stone.

Jtv sell moisonite fire by Charles winston. I have a 3.2 moisonite fire square brilliant. It even comes with a lifetime warranty. If stone goes its covered. I got my ring for 700. Its silver. Love it. I wonder why diamonds are so expensive. Doesn't make any sense. My moisonite fire is absolutely amazing. God bless you and us all.

[@decuevas244]

Diamonds are 1000 per point but you only get 100 per point. A ring that cost me 8000 was only offered 800.

[@simonzhao7466]

Moissanite value choose for fashion jewelry, it looks more brilliance and sparkle than diamond, anyway, it is value choose Gems

[@gardenglory6624]

do you ship loose stones to Canada? I might be interested in a cushion moissanite. I love mossanite and have some moissanite jewellery already. thanks.

This is so helpful. I could see what the naked eye that the moissanite has a lot more rainbow colors in it and it seems almost like it's clear because you had said that clarity was very common in them. My diamond tester is going to test positive for diamonds even if it's Moisenite so I'm heading to the thrift store now armed with my new video knowledge. Thanks!

What is the best way to clean a moissanite ring?

[@laurenbjewelry]

Same method we would recommend for a diamond ring; please see our Ring Cleaning IGTV video recently posted

What is it made of? we know Diamonds are made of Carbon & other minerals depending on the color. I watched to who thing and I still don't know what Moissanite is made of.

[@kitsunekaze93]

Silicon carbide

[@dawnmcfarland7011]

@@skylark5789 Just like lab diamonds are made of synthetic carbon lol what’s your point? It’s the same exact composition as found in the wild. Ethically anything made in a lab is superior.

I wear a 5 ct moissanite on my left hand and a 4 ct natural VSI d color on my right. The eyes only focus on my right hand. A diamond is a diamond sad to say...

Who cares, just make the marriage last. Celebrities spend millions on diamond rings, only to divorce after 3 months of marriage.

[@maryjaneyanuaria7543]

Exactly!

[@samia7183]

Who cares they won’t just throw it away a diamond is an investment even if they divorce they can still resell it and make millions back

[@Seb2404]

@@samia7183 you wouldn't get millions back. Have you tried to ever re sell a diamond. Price drops insanely. You can buy a diamond for 5k but resell it for $700

Yes! Exactly!

You know damn good & well Diamonds are A Girls Best Freind!!! If some man gives you an engagement ring and you turn around and have it appraised in the man tells you it's Moissanite you will be pissed off let alone throw that shitt across the street!!! Yes I would be able to tell the difference of mile away that shines like something sparkly of Wizard of Oz and that's where it should stay 💯😂

is moissanite pawnable too?

[@KaleHello]

O resell value

[@Crystal_Libra]

Diamonds, moissanite, cubic zirconia, crystals, lab created, gemstones all look the same to me. I wouldn't spend money on a diamond. The metal is the important part of ANY jewelry. White gold is my favorite however I'm noticing alot is made with sterling silver & you have to polish it because of tarnishing.

[@KaleHello]

Never buy in white gold--in 5 years people will know it is not a diamond. You will get strong blue fluorescence which is very noticeable to the human eye

[@calf6445]

@@calf6445 Something else I recommend. James Allen always has 25% sale on bands and 10% off on lab grown diamonds. Nothing wrong with lab grown, save the extra 5k on a down payment elsewhere :)

And Moissanite actually sparkles more

[@rjsledz]

Lab created diamonds are just like Earth diamonds since they are both made of carbon. There's obviously difference but very minute. I'm not talking about moissanite I'm talking about lab created diamonds simulated versus Earth diamonds. It's like comparing a 24 carat gold with a 14 karat gold. I wouldn't mind having either
