Moissanite is lighter in weight than diamonds. You’ll usually see the measurements of the stone when picking them out, but know that moissanite when measured in carat will be a larger size than a diamond will. Because moissanite is lab produced, the stones can be more precise and are usually measured in millimeters, by length and width. Since diamonds are naturally occurring they are sized by carat, aka weight. The scale on which the stones are measured is not the same as a diamond. Aside from fire, this is one of the more notable differences to take into account when you’re engagement ring shopping. The stones are far more uniform than diamonds and are made to exact millimeter sizing. Since that doesn’t happen too often, these simulates are made in labs and are pretty visually perfect. Like, they hitched a ride on meteors that found themselves on Earth. The only naturally occurring moissanite that we know of has come from space. We’re not getting all Neo on ya, although these stones could very well have come from The Matrix. We mentioned that moissanite is essentially a diamond simulation.

On the refraction index scale, moissanite stones are at 2.69, while a diamond is at 2.65. You see, moissanite has a rainbow refraction that is in high demand by its admirers. In certain light and stone clarity, a moissanite stone has an even more vibrant look than a diamond. ![]() Moissanite is going to deliver, and then some.
