Natural Diamonds vs Moissanite – The Truth Behind Authentic Sparkle
Natural Diamonds vs Moissanite — What Defines True Brilliance
Diamonds may be timeless, but their beauty is more than sparkle — it’s nature’s art, formed over billions of years. Let’s explore how natural diamonds and moissanite differ, and why authenticity still defines lasting elegance.
Sparkle and Fire
Both diamonds and moissanite reflect light beautifully, but in different ways.
Natural diamonds have a balanced brilliance — sharp, clean, and sophisticated — while moissanite shows more “rainbow fire”, which some find slightly artificial under bright light.
Origin and Value
A diamond is a natural gemstone, created deep within the Earth under extreme heat and pressure — each one unique.
Moissanite, on the other hand, is lab-created silicon carbide — beautiful, yet synthetic.
While moissanite costs up to 90% less, it doesn’t hold the same rarity, symbolism, or long-term value as a genuine diamond.
Ethical Sourcing
At Lady Is Beauty, we work exclusively with conflict-free, ethically sourced natural diamonds and gemstones.
Every piece is verified for origin and crafted in solid 14K and 18K gold, ensuring purity, traceability, and peace of mind.
Durability
On the Mohs hardness scale, a diamond ranks 10/10, the hardest natural material on Earth.
Moissanite ranks 9.25, making it durable but still slightly softer — a small difference that matters over decades of wear.
True Brilliance That Lasts
A natural diamond’s brilliance comes from its perfect crystalline structure and expert cut — it doesn’t fade, scratch, or lose its fire over time.
Moissanite may shine brightly, but its refraction is more intense and less natural to the eye.
