Moissanite vs. Diamond: Which Is More Beautiful? While beauty is ultimately subjective, here, the experts break down how moissanite gems and diamonds compare in brilliance and color. Brilliance It's the most obvious difference between a moissanite and a diamond: their brilliance. "[Moissanite] has more fire and brilliance than any other gemstone, meaning it has more sparkle," O’Connell says. "Because moissanite is double refractive, it is cut differently than diamonds to enhance the sparkle." "Moissanite has over twice the dispersion value of a diamond, which means that it has a greater fire (or display of spectral colors) that is visible when you rotate the stone," says Kim Kanary, a certified diamontologist. As a result, moissanite gives off a rainbow-like effect, while diamonds reflect a whiter light.
