Learn about the gems often compared to Moissanite
Hello 😊
This time, it's the usual study group post.
It's still difficult to understand the differences between them.
I understand 'diamond' but what are the names for the others?
Many people have heard of it but don't really understand it well... right?
But once you understand it, the difference is obvious at a glance.
So you'll be able to see just how clear the difference is.
This time, it is a stone that is said to resemble natural diamonds and is often used in jewelry.
💎Lab-Grown Diamond
💎Moissanite
💎Swarovski
💎Cubic Zirconia
We've compared the features❣️

＊Cubic zirconia is commonly referred to as zirconia, but in gem terminology it is also called cubic zirconia or CZ (Cubic Zirconia). Swarovski is an Austrian gemstone manufacturer and a brand name for the crystal material used to make gemstones.
HereVarianceLet me tell you about it 😄
「Variance」is, of gemstonesA measure indicating the angular spread of reflected lightand affects the gem's brilliance and sparkle intensity ✨
Higher dispersion means light is reflected more widely, making the gemstone sparkle more brilliantly and appear more dazzling. 💎
The dispersion value of the diamond is approximately 0.044 being
Moissanite is approximately 0.104 and has a relatively high variance 💫
Due to this difference,Moissanite is said to sparkle in rainbow colors like a diamond.🌈
On the other hand, cubic zirconia's dispersion value is about 0.06〜0.08, which is somewhat lower compared to diamond and moissanite.
As described above, each gemstone has its own characteristics.
And even among natural diamonds, there are differences in quality.
The same applies to products made in a lab💫
Ultimately, which option is best depends on your goals and how you plan to use it. 🙆♀️
(Personally, I recommend moissanite — it combines beauty and great value while also being mindful of the environment 🥰)
In short, simply put: 'The difference is clear when you look at the numbers'!
Discover the unique features of each and enjoy 💍
