Moissanite vs Diamond?
Moissanite is same kind of a stone like Natural Diamonds. After it first discovered from 1893, Always new experiments in labs started to make it same and finally nowadays it is possible to have manufacture same moissanite diamond in lab like a mined moissanite. Now we know it is same like diamonds then let’s make some comparisons to know diffrent between Moissanite & Diamonds on color, clarity, hardness, brilliance as well as on pricing wise.
Moissanite vs Diamond : Color
Different Colors in Natural Diamond
Natural Diamonds are graded in diffrent colors starts from D color to K color and also it is possible to compare each other diamonds internally because it all being certified by a world's grading leaders GIA as well as IGI.
Different Colors in Moissanite Diamond

Brilliance of Moissanite Diamond
Now brilliance of moissanite diamonds Let's get into the details. Standard Moissanite diamond's Brilliance Refractive Index (RI) is 2.65 - 2.69 where natural diamond's Brilliance Refractive Index (RI) is 2.42 and both looks extremely near to each other. Another parameter is Fire Dispersion which is 0.044 for moissanite diamonds and 0.104 for moissanite diamonds which is quite competitive. So overall Brilliance of Moissanite Diamond is much better then Brilliance of Natural Diamond
Moissanite vs Diamond : Price
Price range of Natural Diamonds
Pricing of natural diamond is decided based on GIA as well as IGI's Repaport pricing. Different vendor sell natural diamonds with their own companies criteria but all pricing is only measured based on Repa port.
Price range of Moissanite Diamond
There is not much standard pricing for Moissanite Diamonds but usually Colorless moissanite diamonds sold under $399 per Carat. Near Colorless diamonds sold under $249 per carat and off white moissanite diamonds sold under $99 per carat.
