Moissanite vs. Diamond: Why Moissanite Is the Smarter, More Brilliant Choice

At Vinterra Jewelry, we specialize in VVS1, diamond-tested moissanite pieces crafted in Sterling Silver, White Gold Over Sterling Silver, and Platinum Over Sterling Silver. But here’s the truth: moissanite isn’t just an alternative to diamonds it’s the better choice for modern jewelry lovers.


What Is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a rare gemstone first discovered in a meteor crater over 120 years ago. Because natural moissanite is extremely scarce, today it’s created in labs using advanced technology. This makes it not only more accessible, but also an eco-friendly, conflict-free gemstone.


Moissanite vs. Diamond: A Side-by-Side Comparison

✨ Brilliance

Moissanite: Outshines diamonds with more fire and sparkle. Its refractive index is 2.65–2.69, higher than a diamond’s 2.42, meaning it reflects more light and creates rainbow flashes of brilliance.

Diamond: Classic sparkle, but less fire compared to moissanite.

💎 Clarity & Quality

Moissanite: Almost all moissanite used in fine jewelry is flawless to the naked eye. At Vinterra, every stone is VVS1 clarity and diamond tested.

Diamond: Quality varies drastically, and higher clarity diamonds cost significantly more.

💰 Price

Moissanite: A fraction of the cost of diamonds allowing you to buy a larger, higher-quality stone without sacrificing beauty.

Diamond: Prices skyrocket with carat size and quality, making them far less accessible.

🌍 Sustainability

Moissanite: Lab-created, eco-friendly, and 100% conflict-free.

Diamond: Many diamonds are still mined under harmful environmental and ethical conditions.
