It’s known for its incredible sparkle, durability, and ethical origins — making it a beautiful, sustainable, and affordable alternative to diamonds.

Moissanite vs. Zirconia vs. Lab-Grown Diamonds

Moissanite

  • Brilliance: Intense fire and sparkle, even higher than diamonds.

  • Durability: 9.25 on the Mohs scale — perfect for daily wear.

  • Appearance: Diamond-like with a unique rainbow flash.

  • Price: Much more affordable than natural or lab-grown diamonds.

Cubic Zirconia (CZ)

  • Brilliance: Bright at first, fades over time.

  • Durability: Softer (8 Mohs), prone to scratches and dulling.

  • Appearance: Can look glassy as it ages.

  • Price: Very affordable, but not a long-term choice.

Lab-Grown Diamonds

  • Brilliance: Identical to natural diamonds.

  • Durability: 10 on the Mohs scale — extremely durable.

  • Appearance: Visually identical to mined diamonds.

Natural Diamonds

  • Durability: Hardest material on Earth (10 Mohs).
