Is Lab-Created Diamonds a Good Alternative for A Necklace?

If you are considering purchasing a necklace in Santa Barbara, CA, you can be certain that a moissanite necklace will be the best choice.
Understand the reasons why so many people chose moissanite over mined diamonds for a necklace in 2024.

  • What is moissanite?

    Moissanite is a natural mineral known as silicon carbide, discovered in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan.
    Several years later, in a research laboratory, scientists have perfected the unique way to produce silicon carbide crystals that are so flawless that they match any geniune gemstone.

    It's also significantly more cost-effective than mined diamonds of similar shapes and sizes, costing about 10% of the price. This is why moissanite is viewed as the best diamond alternative.

  • How does lab-created diamond compare to mined diamonds?

Lab-created diamond has a refractive index of 2.65 over 2.42 for diamonds. This means it will bring you more sparkle than a mined diamond.

    You will find below a characteristic comparison table between natural diamond and lab-created diamond.

    Characteristics Diamond Lab Diamond
    Brilliance Refraction Index (RI) 2.42 2.65-2.69
    Fire Dispersion 0.044 0.104
    Hardness Mohs Scales 10 9.5
    Toughness Good to Excellent Excellent
  • Are moissanite necklaces tacky?

    Moissanite necklaces are far from being bad taste. Moissanite ranks 9.50 on the Mohs Hardness Scale (when mined diamond ranks 10), which means a moissanite necklace is incredibly durable and ideal for daily wear.

  • Do moissanite necklaces lose their sparkle?

    Moissanite necklaces will not lose their glitter over time. It is as strong as a mined diamond. As a consequence it is impossible for a riviera necklace to lose or fade the color with time.

  • Do moissanite necklaces last forever?

    Moissanite is a beautiful gemstone that is almost as hard as a natural diamond. Lab-created diamond, just like natural diamond, will last lifetime.

  • Do moissanite necklaces easily get chipped?

    The MOH scale ranges from a 0 to a 10, with a 10 being the hardest mineral. Moissanite is measured at a 9.5 (in comparison, diamonds have a hardness of 10). This means that moissanite is suitable for everyday use, it does not break nor scratch, and will maintain his brightness over time.

7 Majors pros and cons about lab-created diamond Riviera Necklace

  • Lab-Created diamonds are comparable to natural diamonds in hardness. Lab-created diamond is the hardest stone after diamonds (9.5 vs 10 for earth diamonds). This indicates moissanite is suitable for daily wear, does not break or scratch easily, and will maintain his sparkle.
  • lab-created diamond is a fraction of the price of earth diamonds at comparable color, cut, and clarity. Because it is so similar to mined diamonds, moissanite is the perfect diamond alternative without the natural diamond price tag.
  • Lab-Created diamond is an ethical choice compared to most mined diamonds. One of the most common reasons for consumers to choose moissanite diamonds over natural diamonds nowadays is to help in the fight against child labor and unethical diamond mining, as described by the International Labour Organization here.

Cons
