Moissanite vs. Diamond: Why More Couples Are Choosing Sustainable Sparkle

In the world of fine jewelry, diamonds have long been the traditional choice. But as consumers become more ethically conscious and seek affordable luxury, moissanite is taking center stage. At Cherche Éclat, we celebrate the beauty, brilliance, and sustainability of moissanite—because your jewelry should shine as brightly as your values.

Moissanite vs. Diamond: A Sparkling Showdown

When it comes to engagement rings and fine jewelry, you want something that stands the test of time. But how does moissanite compare to diamonds? Let’s break it down:

✨ Brilliance & Sparkle

Moissanite actually outshines diamonds with a higher refractive index (2.65 vs. 2.42). This means more fire and brilliance, giving off that stunning, rainbow-like sparkle that catches the eye from every angle.

💎 Durability & Longevity

Diamonds score a perfect 10 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them the hardest natural substance on Earth. But moissanite isn’t far behind at 9.25, making it highly durable and resistant to scratches, perfect for everyday wear.

🌍 Ethical & Eco-Friendly Choice

Unlike diamonds, which are often associated with environmental damage and ethical concerns, moissanite is lab-created in controlled settings. That means no mining, no conflict, and no harm to the planet—just pure, stunning beauty.

💰 Price & Value

Let’s be real—diamonds come with a high price tag, often marked up significantly due to industry control. Moissanite, on the other hand, offers superior brilliance at a fraction of the cost. That means you can invest in a larger stone, a more intricate setting, or even a matching band, all while staying within budget.
