If you’ve been seeing stunning engagement rings all over your feed lately… chances are, you’re looking at moissanite.
But what actually is it?
Moissanite is a rare gemstone made from silicon carbide, originally discovered in a meteor crater in 1893. Today, it’s lab-created, making it one of the most ethical and sustainable alternatives to diamonds.
Why Everyone Is Switching to Moissanite
1. It sparkles MORE than diamonds
Moissanite has a higher refractive index, meaning it reflects more light and creates that eye-catching sparkle people notice instantly.
2. It’s nearly as durable as diamond
With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, it’s perfect for everyday wear — whether you’re working, travelling, or just living life.
3. It’s up to 90% more affordable
You can get a large, luxury-looking stone for a fraction of the cost of a diamond.
4. It’s ethical & conflict-free
No mining. No environmental damage. No ethical concerns.
Can People Tell the Difference?
Honestly? No.
To the naked eye, moissanite looks almost identical to a diamond — and in many cases, even more impressive due to its brilliance.
