What is Moissanite and How Does it Compare to Diamond?

In this Lauren B educational episode we give you the full breakdown on moissanites as well as several moissanite vs diamond comparisons. Here are some key points to consider while watching this video:
Moissanite is a man-made gemstone made to simulate the visual properties of a diamond in terms of the shapes they are cut into, and its sparkle and brilliance.
Unlike diamonds, moissanites are usually referred to in terms of their MM measurements and then given a carat equivalent based on that
In terms of clarity, almost all moissanites are flawless.
Moissanite is priced very differently than diamonds and are about 80 to 90% less expensive
Charles & Colvard and Harro are the two major manufacturers and each one has its benefits
Telling the difference between a diamond and a moissanite is not as easy as it sounds; watch this video to find out some giveaways and also what can make them look more similar

It’s always worth remembering, if you the wearer are pleased with the gem, it’s irrelevant what other people think

3:14 that red headed lady is an OG. She knows the difference. Can you imagine all of the costume jewelry she’s been through in her life? 💎 💎

I designed my own ring using moissanite - the sparkle is out of this world 🔥

Moissanite is not made in the lab to simulate the look of diamonds. The lab made Moissanite are made to simulate natural Moissanite.

Moissanite or Diamonds when it comes to the man you truly love it becomes PRICELESS!!

[Johnbro]

I have made rings using mossanite and always the client has been very pleased. It’s worth remembering to ask for the certificate that should come with each gem and should have the laser etching to certify. My own take is mossanite has more fire than diamond, but each to his own.

[yadisjewelry]

Moissanite have more fire, it have good quality among gemstones.I really like the moissanite jewelry, expecially silver ring.

[Gemini]

True that moissanites are its own gem, but their similarities with the diamond is undeniable. So if they get mistaken to be a diamond (which is a lot), I wouldn’t bother correcting people.

1:36 That dude with the hair flip literally stole the limelight from Diamonds lol

I love your video. I like how you structured it. I like how the girl doing the street survey laughs and smiles.

Saying Moissanite is a fake diamond makes no sense 🙄 they are their own stone, it’s just us humans who put this superficial value on the diamond. In an alternate universe or a different time a moissanite could be valued more than a diamond. It’s all marketing anyways. With that being said my girl would probably kill me if I bought her a moissanite ring 😅

[MzShortCake]

This is a great video very informative and I love the street survey.... great job...

[tabathamorales]

I’m currently comparing moissanite vs lab grown diamonds for my engagement ring and this is so helpful!

[Alexandra_K_]

I love both but it really depends on the shape! Unfortunately, I love oval cuts and with oval cut moissanite there just seems to be a lack of depth and detail… even with the crushed ice cuts, there’s just too much fluorescence so they look much cloudier in certain lighting…

[cassiesorensen]

I genuinely prefer the increased sparkle of a moissanite. They’re just so fun!

[miraemenaker]

I have done research on Moissanite stones, and my boyfriend knows that I want one for my engagement ring! This video was really helpful and informative!

My wife left her purse in a taxi with a nice 1.5ct diamond ring inside. I know what she’s getting next.
