Choosing between a diamond and moissanite for your engagement ring involves aligning your gemstone choice with your budget, lifestyle, values, and personal style. This practical guide will help you decide confidently between diamond vs moissanite, highlighting key considerations that matter most.
Diamonds are traditionally costly, yet moissanite offers exceptional brilliance, durability, and beauty at a more affordable price point. Choosing moissanite can allocate more funds towards your wedding or future plans without compromising ring quality. Learn about moissanite pricing here.
Both diamonds (Mohs 10) and moissanite (Mohs 9.25) rank highly for durability, suitable for daily wear. Given moissanite’s affordability and similar hardness, it’s an ideal choice for those seeking value without sacrificing longevity. Check our gemstone durability guide.
Diamonds offer classic white-light sparkle, while moissanite exhibits vibrant, rainbow-like brilliance. Its higher refractive index provides extraordinary sparkle, appealing to many modern couples. Explore our Majestic Moissanite collection to see examples.
Moissanite is lab-grown, eliminating ethical and environmental concerns linked to diamond mining. It’s a sustainable, conflict-free choice perfect for ethically conscious couples. Learn more about Moissanite SA’s ethical practices.
