Moissanite vs. Lab Grown Diamonds: Which One Is Right for You?
When shopping for fine jewelry at FeaLux, two of the most popular choices are moissanite and lab grown diamonds. Both are stunning, ethical, and far more affordable than mined diamonds — but they have different personalities. Here is a simple guide to help you choose.
What Is Moissanite?
Moissanite is a gemstone originally discovered in a meteor crater. Today, every moissanite stone is grown in a laboratory, making it one of the most sustainable choices in fine jewelry. It scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale — harder than every gemstone except diamond — and its fiery rainbow sparkle is unmistakable.
What Are Lab Grown Diamonds?
Lab grown diamonds are real diamonds, grown above ground instead of mined from it. Chemically and optically identical to natural diamonds, they score a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale and carry the same brilliance you expect from a diamond — typically at 50–70% lower cost.
Which Should You Choose?
- Choose moissanite if you want maximum sparkle, excellent value, and a stone that stays brilliant with everyday wear. It is our most popular choice for hip hop chains, pendants and iced-out pieces.
- Choose lab grown diamonds if you want the classic look and lasting prestige of a real diamond — ideal for engagement rings and timeless gifts.
