Lab-grown diamonds are created in a controlled environment using advanced technology, replicating the conditions under which natural diamonds are formed. This results in diamonds that are physically, chemically, and optically identical to those found in nature.

However, another beautiful lab-grown crystal is often used as a diamond alternative - Moissanite. Moissanite is also physically, chemically, and optically similar to diamonds, but there are some critical differences between the two.

Moissanite is a manufactured diamond simulant. It has been found in nature at the site of meteorite impacts but is incredibly rare. It is not a real diamond, but it shares many of the same physical and optical properties as diamonds. Moissanite is cheaper than natural diamonds, but lab-grown diamonds give it a tough competition in terms of price. Moreover, moissanite is not as durable and does not have the same fire or brilliance as natural or lab-grown diamonds.

Diamonds are still more durable than Moissanite, so diamonds may be the better choice if you're looking for something that will last a lifetime and even be passed down to the next generation.

On the Mohs scale (the scale that measures hardness), Moissanite gemstones measure 9.25, which is very hard, but diamonds top the scale at 10. Because of this score,
you can expect diamonds to be very durable, and diamond rings are ideal for daily use.

Another key difference is that Moissanite has a different refractive index than diamonds. This means that when light hits a diamond, it sparkles in a brilliant, fiery way. When light hits Moissanite, it sparkles in a more subtle, subdued way.

So, which is superior - diamonds or Moissanite? While Moissanite may offer a cheap imitation, it pales in comparison to the exceptional quality of lab-grown diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds reign supreme with their unparalleled durability and unmatched brilliance, making them the unequivocal choice for those who demand the best.
