How to tell if a diamond is moissanite?

Diamonds are symbols of love, commitment, and luxury, making them the top choice for engagement rings. However, moissanite, a popular diamond alternative, can sometimes be mistaken for a diamond due to its striking resemblance. If you're in the market for a sparkling gem, it’s essential to know how to distinguish between the two. This guide will provide you with key tips to ensure you're getting the diamond you want, rather than a moissanite stone, without compromising on beauty.

Understanding Diamonds and Moissanite

First, let’s define the two gems:

Diamonds are natural gemstones formed under immense pressure over billions of years. They're known for their brilliance, rarity, and enduring value.

Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone that looks incredibly similar to diamonds. Although it's not a diamond, moissanite is also durable and offers plenty of sparkle, though it has different properties.

While both gems are visually stunning, they are distinct in terms of chemical composition, brilliance, and overall appearance.

How to Tell If It's Moissanite

Brilliance Test: One of the key ways to tell a diamond from moissanite is through their brilliance. Moissanite tends to emit rainbow-like flashes when exposed to light, whereas diamonds reflect white light in a more subdued way. If the stone seems overly fiery, it could be moissanite.

Double Refraction: Moissanite exhibits a characteristic known as double refraction. This means that when you look closely through the stone, especially at the edges, you might see a double image of the facets. Diamonds, on the other hand, do not have this feature.

Hardness Test: Diamonds are the hardest known natural substance with a score of 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, while moissanite comes in at a close 9.25. While both are scratch-resistant, diamonds still hold the upper hand in terms of overall durability.

Thermal Conductivity Test: A jeweler can test thermal conductivity using specialized tools. Diamonds disperse heat differently than moissanite. Some jewelers use this as an easy way to distinguish between the two.

Price Difference: Diamonds are significantly more expensive than moissanite. If a stone is being sold at a price that seems too good to be true for a diamond, it might be worth investigating whether it's a moissanite instead.

Why It Matters

Knowing whether a gemstone is a diamond or moissanite matters for several reasons:

Value: Diamonds typically hold their value over time, while moissanite, though beautiful, does not have the same resale value.

Sentimental Significance: Many people choose diamonds for their rarity and natural origin, believing that they represent eternal love. Moissanite, while lovely, doesn't carry the same symbolic weight for some.

Both diamonds and moissanite have their pros and cons, but if you're investing in a diamond engagement ring, it's important to know that you're getting the real deal.
