If you’ve been researching engagement rings or fine jewellery, you’ve likely wondered: how does moissanite really stack up against diamonds? As a brand obsessed with brilliance, beauty, and smart design, we love this question. Let’s break down the key differences so you can decide what shines brightest for you.
Brilliance: Moissanite has a higher refractive index (2.65–2.69) than diamonds (2.42), meaning it reflects more light and offers a rainbow-like fire. Aurora Moissanite is precision-cut to maximize this fire while maintaining crystal-clear clarity.
Durability: Diamonds score a 10 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Moissanite comes in at 9.25, making it one of the toughest gemstones available. It’s ideal for everyday wear and promises long-lasting performance.
Price: A one-carat diamond can cost anywhere from $3,000 to $20,000+. A comparable Aurora Moissanite? A fraction of that. You can get stunning size and sparkle without the diamond markup.
Ethics: Most diamonds come from mining operations with environmental or ethical concerns. Aurora Moissanite is lab-created, conflict-free, and aligned with the future of responsible luxury.
Aurora Moissanite isn’t trying to imitate diamonds—it’s setting a new standard. For those who want uncompromised brilliance, ethical elegance, and affordability, the choice is clear.
