Is a moissanite as good as a diamond?
On One Hand: Moissanite Has Good PointsMoissanite comes from silicon carbide, a naturally occurring mineral. The quantities are too limited to produce jewels, so moissanite is manufactured through a growing process. Moissanite has the shimmer, brilliance and fire of a diamond and is almost as hard. Moissanite costs a fraction of what diamonds cost.On the Other: Diamonds Have Higher ValueDiamonds are the hardest naturally formed material on Earth. Diamonds are beautiful and durable and have long been associated with love and romance. It is traditional for a man to buy a diamond for his fiancée because of the beauty and value of diamonds.Bottom LineMoissanite is harder than any other gemstone except for a diamond. Moissanite is just as brilliant as a diamond, but at a fraction of the cost of a diamond.
