Diamonds vs Moissanite

Lab Grown Diamonds vs Lab Grown Moissanite

What is Lab-grown Diamonds?

A lab diamond, also known as a laboratory-grown or synthetic diamond, is a diamond that’s created in a controlled lab environment rather than formed naturally in the Earth. Lab diamonds are chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds, as they are made of pure carbon arranged in the same crystal structure.

Lab diamonds have the same hardness, brilliance, and fire as natural diamonds and can pass traditional diamond testers. However, they are generally more affordable because they don’t require mining and can be produced on demand. We choose lab diamonds for their sustainability and ethical advantages, as well as their lower environmental impact.

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a brilliant, sparkling gemstone that has properties remarkably similar to a diamond—so similar, in fact, that it even passes traditional diamond testers.

The advantages of moissanite is in its Brilliance which many say outshines diamond under light. The gemstone has a refractive index between 2.65-2.69 which is even higher than natural diamonds.

All of our moissanite is lab-grown to ensure stunning quality while prioritizing sustainability and precision.

The Difference?

Lab-grown diamonds and moissanite are both attractive, budget-friendly choices for those wanting gemstones that don’t require mining. While lab-grown diamonds have the same chemical composition and structure as natural diamonds, they are produced in controlled environments with advanced technology and responsibly sourced materials.

Moissanite, made from silicon carbide, is a popular diamond alternative due to its resilience, brilliance, and cost-effectiveness.
