Moissanite FAQ

While moissanite does have a higher brilliance than diamond due to it's double-refractive characteristics, the majority of the public will not be able to tell the difference between a diamond and a moissanite. They are overall very similar looking when set on jewelry.

Moissanite is so similar to diamond that it's even known to pass diamond testers. This is due to it's ability to conduct heat which is what many diamond testers rely on.

Moissanite comes in a wide range of quality and prices. Low quality moissanite is mass produced and priced very cheap. They often display a slight blue, brown or gray hue under certain lighting.

The quality of the gem cutting is also very important in determining how the stone will look. Cheap stones are cut by lower skilled workers during mass production, resulting in an overall less beautiful stone.

At Segen Luxury, we hand select our stones from the top 10% of moissanite. We select true DEF colorless stones only from top tier gem cutters.

Moissanite is an affordable alternative to a diamond, but it is not a fake diamond or an imitation. Though it looks very similar to a diamond, it is a completely different gemstone. For the same reason, a blue colored diamond would not be considered a fake sapphire and a ruby would not be considered a fake red colored diamond.

Moissanite is often compared to a diamond due to both having very similar characteristics. Both gemstones are carbon based. Both are highly durable, and often white in color.

Moissanite is very easy to care for. If you have a cleaning product for diamonds, you can use the exact same thing to clean moissanite. If you don't have liquid jewelry cleaner, the easiest at-home solution is to mix warm water with a few drops of hand soap or window cleaner. The stones can be cleaned with this solution using a soft or old toothbrush. Carefully and thoroughly clean all sides of the jewelry item or stone, then rinse with lukewarm water. Your moissanite jewelry will look new once again!
