Everyone is crazy about brilliant diamonds, especially those women who love beauty, they can't resist the stunning beauty from diamonds. If it is said that diamonds bring dazzling brilliance to people, then it must also bring beauty and love to women. For women, a dazzling diamond ring can both decorate and bring romantic love to them. However, in recent years, there has been a kind of "diamond" called Moissanite. Not only is the price much lower than diamonds, but at first glance, it has similar beauty to diamonds.
Source of Moissanite Introduction:
Moissanite is a synthetic silicon carbide. It was developed in 1980 and produced in 1996. It needs to be cultivated in a specific environment for nearly ten months before it can be formed. Although it is not a natural gemstone, it has a higher value than diamond. Brightness, refractive index, so it has a more eye-catching brilliance.
Some people say that Moissanite is a dark night gem. This is not unfounded. This is because Moissanite is dazzling and dazzling under the feasting light or under the dazzling sunlight. It is like a colorful light. The small universe is generally bright and abundant.
Moissanite is not an imitation diamond
Because many merchants on the market sell Moissanite as imitation diamonds, many people mistake it for imitation diamonds. In fact, Moissanite is two substances completely different from diamonds, although its appearance is similar to that of diamonds. They look very similar but their chemical composition is very different. The main component of Moissanite is silicon carbide, and diamond is a crystal of carbide, so the two are naturally not the same substance. However, imitation diamonds are mass-produced, which are not only cheap and invaluable, so Moissan diamonds are not imitation diamonds.
The difference between Moissanite and diamonds
1. Growth environment: Diamonds grow naturally and are very rare and precious, while Moissanite are artificially cultivated and the cultivation process is risky.
2. Fire color: The beauty of diamonds lies in their brilliant fire color, and Moissanite have more fire color than diamonds, and they show colorful fire color in different environments.
3. Hardness: The hardness of diamonds is very high, the hardness of Moissanite is 10, but the hardness of Moissanite is second only to the hardness of 9.25 of diamond.
Although Moissanite looks the same as a diamond in appearance, I still recommend that you choose a diamond ring if you are proposing marriage. After all, diamonds are the love tokens in people's hearts.
