Without careful examination, they could seem identical to some individuals, yet they differ greatly in terms of colour, brightness, and other aspects. In this blog, we compare diamonds to moissanite and explain which of the two\u0026mdash;lab-grown diamonds or lab-grown moissanite \u0026mdash;could be more valuable.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFactors that differentiate moissanite and diamonds\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eBoth diamonds and moissanite are graded based on similar parameters\u0026mdash;the 4 Cs.

Unlike diamonds, which are evaluated and graded according to their hue, moissanite is not colourless.

It is common knowledge that diamonds, which rate a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, are one of the hardest naturally occurring materials.

While you can get a bigger moissanite for the price you\u0026#39;d pay for a diamond, moissanite carries less value, so in the end you are getting something that will only be worth very little in the long run. \u003ca href=\"https://www.growndiamondcorp.com/blog/types-of-lab-grown-diamonds/\"\u003eMan-made diamonds\u003c/a\u003e are an excellent investment if you\u0026#39;re seeking value because they can be passed down through the generations without losing any of their worth, despite being more expensive.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClarity\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h3\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe evaluation of a lab-grown diamond\u0026#39;s internal and visible flaws is known as its clarity. Because it is produced in a lab as opposed to how a diamond is generated naturally, moissanite often has better clarity than a diamond. As natural goods, diamonds frequently contain imperfections and inclusions, but moissanite has extremely few.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrilliance\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe brilliance of moissanite and diamonds is the distinction that stands out most, with moissanite having more brilliance than a diamond. Moissanite diamonds sparkle more than any other gemstone because it has greater fire and brilliance. Due to its doubly refractive nature, moissanite is cut differently from diamonds to increase its shine. The fire (or exhibition of spectrum colours) that is apparent as you spin the stone is larger in moissanite because they have a dispersion value that is more than double that of a diamond.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFactors to consider when buying lab-grown diamonds or moissanite\u003c/strong\u003e\u003c/h2\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe most crucial thing to keep in mind is that you may obtain moissanite of great quality for a fair price, so avoid settling for a stone with obvious clarity or colour flaws.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\t\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eTo know if the stone is of high quality, a high degree of fire, a brilliant lustre, and an excellent polish with barely any surface scratches are factors you should be looking for.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\t\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAs always, to get the most value for your money, buy from a \u003ca href=\"https://www.growndiamondcorp.com/\"\u003elab-grown diamond merchant\u003c/a\u003e you can trust.\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\t\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAnother important factor is always asking for the grading report and diamond certificate, which include a report on the 4 Cs of the diamond.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n\t\u003c/li\u003e\r\n\t\u003cli dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\r\n\t\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eAny setting works well for moissanite diamonds, and it complements lab-grown diamonds and other gemstone accents nicely.
