Moissanite offers diamond-like sparkle at a fraction of the price, making it one of the most popular engagement ring choices. This guide compares moissanite and diamond, explains quality grades, and covers the best settings.
Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone with a refractive index higher than diamond, which gives it intense fire and brilliance. It is nearly as hard as diamond, safe for daily wear, and available in colorless and near-colorless grades at a fraction of the cost of a mined or lab-grown diamond of the same size.

| Brilliance | Higher fire, rainbow flashes | Classic white sparkle |
| Hardness | 9.25 | 10 |
| Ethical profile | Lab-created, conflict-free | Lab or mined, certificate driven |
