GBGM Certified Moissanites

What “Certified Moissanite” Means

Certification For Flawless Colorless & Fancy Moissanite

Moissanite and diamond differ significantly in several ways: moissanite is made of silicon carbide, offering a similar brilliance and fire at a lower cost, while diamonds are composed of carbon and are typically more expensive due to their rarity and natural formation. Moissanite has a higher refractive index, which can sometimes cause it to appear more fiery or colorful than a diamond, and it is also more resistant to scratching, making it highly durable. However, moissanite can sometimes exhibit a subtle color or rainbow-like flashes under certain lighting, which some may prefer or find less desirable compared to the classic clarity and fire of a diamond. Overall, moissanite is an excellent, affordable alternative that mimics many of the visual qualities of a diamond but differs in composition, price, and some optical characteristics.
