1.) Moissanite

Moissanite comes meteorite elements that fell to earth and as such, it’s quite rare to find. In fact, it’s rarer than diamond or the Satéur™ Stone and though it has same look as the two, it’s known to have a brighter sparkle and shine. Originally discovered by the Nobel prize-winning chemist, Dr Henri Moissan in 1893, Moissante makes an excellent stone for people who prefer gemstones they can be certain of their history ethically and socially.

Today, Moissante can be created in the lab using a process that replicates the natural process but in a shorter time. Lab-made Moissanite is as good as the organic one because in terms of composition, they have the same properties.

Characteristics

1.) Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamonds which makes it possible for it to sparkle with a greater brilliance.

2.)Moissanite is the 2nd hardest stone in the world after diamond.

3.) Moissanite is eco-friendly and has an ethical history making them more easily acceptable to many.

4.) Moissanite costs at least 50% less than actual diamond rings of the same size, cut and style.

2.) Diamond

Diamonds are popular, naturally-occurring pieces of carbon compound in the earth that has aged over the years to become brightly-shinning, high-reflective stones. It comes in different colors, cut,clarity and carat.

Most people covert diamond not just because of its beauty or rarity but also because of the buzz around it. Diamond has a high sparkle and the second highest refractive index at around 2.4 which is less than that of Moissante.

The question about why diamond costs so much is based on perception marketing even though it’s a worthy stone given its quality. The major challenge faced by past and intending owners is hefty price tag, social responsibility and the ethical history associated with it. In recent times, people prefer knowing where their stone was harvested from and in what manner.

Characteristics
