Moissanite vs Lab Diamond Deciding on the Perfect Diamond Ring

When it comes to selecting a diamond ring, there are various options available, each with its own unique characteristics and appeal. At Avittam Diamond Jewels, we specialize in offering exquisite diamond rings that cater to different tastes and preferences. One of the key decisions you'll face is choosing between Moissanite and Lab Diamond.

Let's explore these options to help you make an informed choice:

 

Moissanite: A Gemstone with Timeless Brilliance  

Moissanite entered the jewelry market in 1998, revolutionizing the industry with its remarkable brilliance and durability. At Avittam Diamond Jewels, we proudly offer Moissanite rings crafted with the highest quality stones, including the renowned Forever One Moissanite by Charles and Colvard. These stones come with a certificate of authenticity and a lifetime warranty, ensuring peace of mind and assurance of quality.

For those looking for affordability without compromising on brilliance, generic Moissanites are also available. These stones offer excellent value and durability, making them a popular choice for engagement rings and other jewelry pieces. Whether you choose Forever One or generic Moissanite, you can rest assured that our rings uphold the highest standards of craftsmanship and beauty.

 

  • Price: Moissanite rings are approximately 90% less expensive than natural diamonds, making them highly affordable without sacrificing beauty or durability.

  • Comparison: Moissanite scores high on hardness (9.25-9.50 on the Mohs scale) and has a refractive index (2.65-2.69) that is similar to diamonds. It is sourced through sustainable, man-made processes, making it an eco-friendly choice.

 

Lab Diamond: Bridging Nature and Technology

Lab Diamonds, crafted through advanced technological processes, replicate the optical and physical properties of natural diamonds with stunning precision. These diamonds are indistinguishable to the naked eye from mined diamonds, offering a sustainable and ethical alternative. At Avittam Diamond Jewels, our Lab Diamond rings are crafted to perfection, radiating the same brilliance and allure as natural diamonds.

It's important to note that while Lab Diamonds feature a diamond-like coating for enhanced hardness and optical properties, this coating does not deceive industry-standard diamond testers. However, the beauty and durability of Lab Diamonds make them an excellent choice for those seeking a diamond ring with a modern twist and ethical conscience.

 

  • Price: Lab Diamonds are more affordable than natural diamonds but typically cost more than Moissanite. They offer an excellent balance between luxury and value.

  • Comparison: Lab Diamonds boast a perfect hardness score of 10 on the Mohs scale and a refractive index of 2.42, matching the characteristics of natural diamonds closely. They are sourced sustainably through man-made processes, aligning with ethical standards.

 

Choosing Your Diamond Ring

When selecting between Moissanite and Lab Diamond for your diamond ring, consider the following factors:

 

  • Budget: Moissanite rings typically offer a more cost-effective option compared to Lab Diamonds, making them accessible without compromising on quality.

  • Brilliance: Both Moissanite and Lab Diamonds exhibit exceptional brilliance and sparkle, ensuring that your ring captures attention and admiration.
