Why Moissanite Sparkles More Than Diamonds
If you’re looking for a gemstone that captures the light—and everyone's attention—Moissanite delivers unmatched brilliance. While diamonds have long been considered the traditional choice for engagement rings, Moissanite is quickly becoming the modern bride’s favorite. Here’s why this lab-grown stone sparkles more than its mined counterpart. For a broader comparison, visit Moissanite vs. Diamond: The Ultimate Guide.
✨ What Makes a Gemstone Sparkle?
Sparkle is all about light. The more a stone bends, reflects, and disperses light, the more brilliance and “fire” it shows. Moissanite has a higher refractive index (2.65–2.69) than diamonds (2.42), meaning it bends light more effectively—resulting in visible flashes of rainbow sparkle.

💎 Why Moissanite Stands Out in Real Life
- More Fire: Moissanite disperses light into a rainbow of colors, giving it that magical, shimmering effect.
- Brighter in Low Light: Moissanite performs especially well in low or indirect lighting—think candlelight or restaurants.
- Low Maintenance: Its hardness and surface resistance mean it stays cleaner longer and retains its sparkle with minimal care. For maintenance tips, read our Moissanite Cleaning & Care Guide.
