Question 1

What is moissanite and why is it a popular alternative to diamond?

Accepted Answer

Moissanite is a lab-grown gemstone with a brilliance and fire that rivals — and in some ways exceeds — that of diamond. It rates 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it extremely durable for everyday wear. Its combination of beauty, durability, and value has made it one of the most popular diamond alternatives available.

Question 2

How does moissanite compare to diamond in terms of sparkle?

Accepted Answer

Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond, which means it produces more fire (colored light dispersion) and brilliance. In direct sunlight or bright lighting, moissanite's sparkle is often described as more dramatic and rainbow-like than a diamond of the same size.

Question 3

Is the moissanite at Best Brilliance certified?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Unlike most moissanite on the market, which is sold without any certification, Best Brilliance certifies every moissanite stone with an independent third-party lab. The certificate is included with your jewelry — giving you documented proof of quality that most moissanite buyers never receive.

Question 4

Is moissanite a good choice for an engagement ring?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Moissanite is one of the hardest gemstones available (9.25 Mohs), making it highly resistant to scratching and chipping — ideal for a ring worn every day. Combined with its exceptional brilliance and certified quality at Best Brilliance, it's a compelling choice for an engagement ring.

Question 5

Can I customize a moissanite ring at Best Brilliance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer full customization on our moissanite rings — including stone shape, carat size, metal type (14k or 18k white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, or platinum), and setting style. Our design team can also create a completely custom ring from scratch.
