Diamant vs. Moissanit
Moissanit ist kein falscher Diamant — er ist ein anderer Edelstein mit beeindruckenden eigenen Eigenschaften.
Fazit
Wenn Budget eine Rolle spielt und Sie maximalen Glanz möchten, gewinnt Moissanit mühelos. Wenn Sie das Prestige und den Wiederverkaufswert eines Naturdiamanten möchten, wählen Sie den Diamanten. Laborgezüchtete Diamanten sind eine ausgezeichnete Mittelweg-Option.

10/10 on the Mohs scale — the hardest natural material. Scratch resistant and incredibly durable.

9.25/10 on the Mohs scale. Extremely hard — second only to diamond. Suitable for everyday wear.
Ethics

Growing acceptance, but lacks the prestige and cultural recognition of diamonds.
Resale Value
Vorteil: DiamondDIAMOND
Natural diamonds hold value. Lab-grown resale is lower but improving.
MOISSANITE
Very low resale value — moissanite is valued for wear, not investment.
