Why Moissanite Sparkles More Than Diamonds: The Science Explained

Discover the brilliant secret behind the unparalleled sparkle of moissanite jewelry at Dazzle and Grace. As a leading provider of exquisite moissanite pieces, we're excited to share the science that makes this gemstone outshine even the most flawless diamonds.

The Refractive Index Advantage

At the heart of moissanite's mesmerizing brilliance lies its exceptional refractive index. This optical property determines how much a gemstone bends and reflects light. Diamonds have a refractive index of 2.42, but moissanite surpasses this with an impressive 2.65. This means moissanite refracts light more intensely, creating a captivating display of fire and brilliance that simply can't be matched by diamonds.

Dispersion: The Rainbow Effect

Moissanite's superior dispersion rate is another key factor in its unrivaled sparkle. Dispersion refers to the gemstone's ability to split white light into its component colors, producing a mesmerizing rainbow effect. Moissanite has a dispersion rate of 0.104, compared to diamonds' 0.044. This means moissanite can produce a more vibrant, colorful sparkle that dazzles the eye.

Hardness and Durability

While diamonds are renowned for their hardness, moissanite is no slouch in this department either. Ranking 9.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, moissanite is only slightly softer than the diamond's perfect 10. This makes moissanite an exceptionally durable and scratch-resistant gemstone, ensuring your jewelry maintains its stunning sparkle for years to come.

Ethical and Affordable Luxury

Dazzle and Grace is proud to offer moissanite jewelry that not only outshines diamonds but also aligns with ethical and sustainable practices. Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone, eliminating the environmental and social concerns associated with diamond mining.
