Moissanite vs. Diamonds: What's the Difference?
“Moissanite is the second hardest to diamonds on the Mohs hardness scale”. “Based on rankings from one to 10, diamonds are a 10 and moissanite is a 9.25-9.5.” Moissanite is a very durable option for an engagement ring stone, especially since the material doesn't scratch easily.

Moissanite has telltale fire as well as facet doubling from a side view. So, when trying to tell if someone has a Moissanite ring or a diamond ring, move the ring around and watch its sparkle carefully. But unless you're a professional jeweler, you won't be able to tell the difference.

No, moissanite looks very similar to a diamond. It's near-colorless, has a similar refractive index to a diamond and the GIA deems moissanite the closest diamond imitation. Many jewelers consider moissanite a diamond alternative, not an imitation, though you will find plenty of that language on the internet.

In practical terms, this means that moissanite is more resistant to scratches than cubic zirconia, sapphire, and ruby. This is a major reason to choose moissanite engagement rings over cubic zirconia engagement rings.

Does Moissanite Get Cloudy Over Time?
In general, moissanite does not get cloudy over time, especially if properly cared for. Regular cleaning and maintenance of the gemstone can help preserve its sparkle and clarity, ensuring that it remains a stunning choice for jewelry for years to come

Yes, you can wear your moissanite engagement ring in the shower. On its own, water will not harm your moissanite stone. However, repeated exposure to soap, shampoo and conditioner can create a build-up of oils on the surface of your ring. This can give your stone a filmy appearance, dulling its sparkle.
