I have both diamonds and moissanites - although they are similar, I find the moissanites, although colourless, look "white" where a diamond to me looks "clear." Especially in daylight. Under fluorescents, moissanite more sparkly, but I still don't find they look the same. Each has a place in my life though, lol! My fave is an OEC moissanite though - which is supposed to throw off more pastel colours anyway, as an OEC diamond would.
look's white because of the double light refraction. it slightly clouds the appearance. Impossible to tell without a regular diamond to compare it to though. I also think the harder shine of moissonites make up for this. I think it just looks better overall.
I have a 2.5 carat round brilliant diamond solitaire engagement ring and a 6 ct oval moissanite ring I got myself when I got pregnant with my daughter as I gift to me …. and I LOVE BOTH they are different but they are equally so beautiful ❤ so you can’t go wrong choosing a moissanite over diamond 💍 you just have to find a good moissanite … don’t get scammed online 😊
While I loved my moissanite at first, I wish I had gone with a lab diamond. Lauren B wasn’t making oec lab diamonds when I purchased the moissanite and now they do I wish I waited! Unfortunately there’s not really a market for selling pre loved moissanite jewelry like there is for diamonds.
