YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
Everything You Need to Know
Honest answers to the questions customers ask before choosing moissanite.
Will people be able to tell it isn't a diamond?
To most people, high-quality moissanite looks remarkably similar to a diamond at a glance. Its exceptional brilliance creates a luxurious finish, while its stronger flashes of colourful fire give it a beauty of its own. You get the presence and sparkle people notice without needing to spend thousands.
Does moissanite pass a diamond tester?
Many basic thermal diamond testers may register moissanite as diamond because both stones conduct heat efficiently. Specialist testers can distinguish between them. Moissanite is not a diamond imitation, but a distinct gemstone chosen for its own brilliance, durability and value.
Does moissanite lose its sparkle?
Moissanite does not naturally become cloudy or permanently lose its brilliance through normal wear. As with any fine jewellery, oils and everyday residue can temporarily dull the surface, but gentle cleaning restores its fire. It is made to keep turning heads for years to come.
Is moissanite suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. Moissanite measures approximately 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it highly resistant to scratching and well suited to engagement rings and everyday jewellery. Sensible care is still recommended, but this is a stone designed to be worn, enjoyed and lived in.
Is moissanite worth buying instead of a diamond?
It depends on what matters most to you. Moissanite offers exceptional sparkle, impressive durability and the freedom to choose a more striking stone without the traditional diamond price. For many couples, that means keeping the luxury while putting more of their budget towards the life they are building together.
Is moissanite lab-created?
Almost all jewellery-grade moissanite is created in controlled laboratories because naturally occurring moissanite is extremely rare. Laboratory creation allows for consistent quality and beauty without relying on traditional gemstone mining.
