Four Misunderstandings about moissanite

An interesting change has taken place in recent years. More and more people ask whether morsonite is worth buying. The main reason is that diamonds are expensive. For ordinary people, they are luxury goods. Wedding diamond rings are often twenty or thirty thousand. Seeing this figure, some people will inevitably question: "it's just a ring. Is it necessary to be really expensive?"

On the contrary, the price of moissanite stone is only one tenth of that of diamonds, which is comparable to the wearing texture of diamonds. Now many prospective newlyweds are keen to buy moissanite stone as a love token instead of expensive diamonds, and the saved money is used to improve the quality of life. For example, go on a trip, change new wallpaper at home, replace fingerprint smart door locks... In this way, the same budget creates more value for yourself, and the happiness of a marriage without a diamond ring is still bursting. However, some people have prejudices or misunderstandings about Moissanite. They specially write an article to explain it clearly to help everyone understand the real Moissanite.

Misunderstanding 1:Moissanite is an imitation diamond

As a popular example, the snow swallow is a precious plant pulp secretion and a new nourishing tonic. After soaking, it is crystal clear and more like a bird's nest, but it can't be stigmatized that the snow swallow is an imitation of a bird's nest. Similarly, moissanite is also known as morsonite. Its chemical composition is silicon carbide and the chemical composition of diamond is carbon. The appearance of both is flickering and shining. It is difficult for ordinary human eyes to distinguish, but moissanite is by no means an imitation diamond. Natural moissanite originated from a meteorite that landed in Arizona 50000 years ago. It is an extraterrestrial thing. It was not discovered by Dr. Henri Moissan until 1893, and then known by the world. Moissaniteis an imitation diamond. I'm afraid it was fabricated by diamond sellers. After all, the price of Moissanite is one tenth of that of diamonds, which has robbed many diamond customer resources.

Misunderstanding 2: Moissanite is a fake

Because the quantity of natural moissanite is extremely rare, it is a very precious scientific research material and can not be widely used in the field of jewelry design. In the 1990s, Charles & Colvard company of the United States used science and technology to simulate the natural formation environment of silicon carbide and cultivate the world's first morsonite. Since then, the cultivation of moissanite has entered a vigorous development stage. Therefore, Moissanite sold on the market is synthetic, and Moissanite sellers never hide the fact that Moissanite was born in the laboratory. It is inappropriate to say that Moissanite is a fake. Zircon coating is sold as mosan stone, which is a bad act of selling fake goods.

Misunderstanding 3: Moissanite is easy to be scratched

The composition of moissanite is silicon carbide, which can be used to make molds in industry, and its hardness can be seen. According to the data, the Mohs hardness of diamond is 10, while the hardness of moissanite is 9.25. It is the second hard material in the world. It is more difficult to scratch than Ruby and sapphire. Some consumers reported that the moissanite ring they bought was easy to scratch, and there was a great possibility of buying counterfeit products. The most common in the market is that Cubic zirconia coating pretends to be morsonite, which is easy to fall off after wearing the coating for a long time. The Mohs hardness of zircon is 8, which is not as hard as moissanite.

Misunderstanding 4: poor quality of Moissanite

Moissanite is cultivated in the laboratory with controllable color and clarity. Natural diamonds are made by crustal movement. There are more doped defects than Moissanite. High quality Moissanite is comparable to South African diamond. Two jewelry stores in Connecticut once organized a field experiment to put a $23000 diamond ring and a $850 Moissanite ring together to let pedestrians distinguish which is a real diamond ring. The survey attracted jewelers to watch with a small magnifying glass. The results showed that even close observation, more than 70% of the respondents guessed wrong. Will you still doubt the quality of Moissanite according to such test results?
