Moissanite vs Diamond – What’s the Real Difference?
Diamonds may be forever, but moissanite is rewriting the rules of elegance. Let’s compare these two stones and see what truly shines.
Sparkle and Fire
Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, meaning it reflects more light and sparkles more intensely — especially under sunlight or candlelight.
Price Tag
A moissanite ring can cost up to 90% less than a diamond of similar size — giving you luxury without breaking the bank.
Ethical Sourcing
Moissanite is lab-created, making it 100% conflict-free and environmentally responsible. No mining, no guilt — just beauty.
Durability
On the Mohs scale, diamonds are 10/10, and moissanite is 9.25 — extremely durable and suitable for daily wear.
Brilliance That Lasts
Unlike some gemstones, moissanite doesn’t cloud or dull over time. Its fire and brilliance are forever.

If you value beauty, ethics, and smart spending — moissanite wins. And with settings in 925 sterling silver, our rings at Lady is Beauty are the perfect modern luxury.
