Moissanite is a lab made gemstone with more sparkle than a diamond! It is one of the hardest diamond alternatives on the market, making it a great engagement ring choice. It is also the only diamond alternative that actually passes a “diamond tester” test! Finally, as a lab made gem, it’s also a wonderfully sustainable option. However, there are a few tricks to getting the best Moissanite (specifically with respect to color). Read on below to learn how!

Moissanite Grades

Just like diamonds, Moissanite is available in different qualities. While most “Moissy” on the market are quickly cut and mass-produced, Forever One Moissanite’s bright white color and ideal faceting are the product of years of study and effort. Round gems come in Hearts & Arrows perfection, while every other shape has been studied and faceted to ideal standards.

What colors does Moissanite come in?

Moissanite is often “near colorless,” meaning that it sometimes has a greenish-yellowish tint. However, Forever One Moissanite is completely colorless, like water. One unique property of Moissy is its extreme “dispersion,” or colored sparkle. So, no matter what color you choose, your gem is going to be lively! Every couple will have their own preference as to color. So, the chart below will help you choose the right gem for you.

Does Moissanite get cloudy?

No! Moissanite is a 9.25 on the hardness scale, so it will stay crisp and beautiful forever. Plus, the silicate in Moissanite helps it repel dirt and oil even better than a diamond.

Money Tips

When looking for Moissy, we suggest Forever One Colorless. As Moissanite can sometimes have a yellowish tint, choosing a Colorless stone will ensure the classic beauty of your stone.
