Moissanite vs. Natural Diamonds: The Ultimate Guide by JewelEdition

When it comes to choosing the perfect gemstone, two choices often stand out: Moissanite and Natural Diamonds. At JewelEdition, we believe that customers deserve quality, transparency, and value—so we proudly use Premium Moissanite Diamonds in many of our signature designs.

But what truly sets Moissanite apart from natural diamonds? And why do so many modern buyers—including JewelEdition—prefer it?

Let’s break it down.

🌟 What Is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a rare gemstone originally discovered in a meteor crater. Today, it is lab-grown to perfection, offering a stunning alternative to natural diamonds with even greater brilliance and fire.

💎 Moissanite vs. Natural Diamonds: Key Differences
1. Brilliance & Sparkle

Moissanite:
Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamonds, meaning it sparkles more intensely and shows vibrant rainbow flashes.

Natural Diamonds:
Diamonds have a slower sparkle but strong white brilliance.

Winner: Moissanite (brighter and more eye-catching sparkle)

2. Durability & Hardness

Moissanite: 9.25 on the Mohs scale

Natural Diamonds: 10 on the Mohs scale

Both gemstones are extremely durable and ideal for everyday wear.

Winner: Tie (both are long-lasting and scratch-resistant)

3. Ethical & Environmental Impact

Moissanite:
Lab-created with zero mining, making it ethical, sustainable, and conflict-free.

Natural Diamonds:
Mining has environmental impact and complex supply chains.

Winner: Moissanite (100% ethical & eco-friendly)

4. Cost & Affordability

Moissanite:
80–90% more affordable while delivering exceptional quality.

Natural Diamonds:
Expensive due to mining, rarity, and industry markups.

Winner: Moissanite (luxury without the high price)
