Lab Diamonds vs. Moissanite
Why This Choice Matters
When comparing stones for your engagement ring, you’ll often see moissanite listed next to lab diamonds. While both are created in laboratories, they are completely different gems.
Lab diamonds are real diamonds are identical to mined diamonds in brilliance, strength, and beauty.
Moissanite only imitates the look of a diamond and has a different composition, structure, and sparkle.
At Future Jewelry, every engagement ring is set with an F+ color Lab Diamond, chosen for superior fire, clarity, and ethical origin.
What Makes Lab Diamonds Different
1. Real Diamond, Real Standards
Lab diamonds have the exact same atomic structure as mined diamonds and are graded by leading gemological laboratories (GIA and IGI) for cut, color, clarity, and carat. The same standards used for natural diamonds.
Moissanite, on the other hand, is made from silicon carbide and does not qualify as a diamond under these standards.
2. The Sparkle You Expect
Diamonds reflect a balanced blend of white light and rainbow flashes known as brilliance and fire.
Moissanite reflects light differently, often producing an exaggerated rainbow effect that can appear artificial or overly colorful in certain lighting.
A diamond’s sparkle is refined, timeless, and unmistakably elegant.
3. Timeless Symbolism
Diamonds have symbolized commitment and love for centuries. A Lab Diamond continues that legacy with a modern, sustainable origin.
Moissanite may be visually appealing but lacks the cultural and emotional symbolism of a diamond.
4. Durability for a Lifetime
Diamonds are the hardest known natural substance, a 10 on the Mohs scale.
They resist scratches and preserve their polish for decades of daily wear.
Moissanite is durable but slightly softer, meaning it can show wear sooner with time.
Why Future Jewelry Chooses Lab Diamonds
-

The Clear Choice
Moissanite is often marketed as a cheaper alternative, but it’s not a diamond and it never will be.
If you want the authentic look, feel, and lasting value of a true diamond without compromise, the answer is clear: choose a Lab Diamond.
