If you’re shopping for a sparkling, ethical, and affordable gemstone, chances are you’ve come across Moissanite and lab-created diamonds. Both offer incredible beauty and value, but they’re not the same. So, which is better?

At KRK Jewels, we offer both Moissanite and lab-grown diamonds, and we’re here to help you choose what’s best for your style, purpose, and budget.

Moissanite vs Lab-Grown Diamond: Key Differences


What Makes Lab-Created Diamonds Unique?

Lab-created diamonds are real diamonds, grown in controlled environments using advanced technologies like CVD or HPHT. They are identical to mined diamonds in composition, structure, and appearance.
Advantages of Lab-Created Diamonds:
100% real diamonds
Certified by IGI or GIA
Timeless elegance and traditional look
Retain value over time
Available in all shapes, sizes, and grades
If you’re looking for classic, luxury sparkle, lab-grown diamonds are your best choice.

What Makes Moissanite Stand Out?

Moissanite is a gemstone created from silicon carbide, originally discovered in a meteorite. It’s not a diamond, but its brilliance and fire often outshine diamonds in terms of sparkle.
Advantages of Moissanite:
Exceptionally brilliant and fiery
Very durable and suitable for everyday wear
More affordable than lab diamonds
Ethical and conflict-free
Great option for budget-friendly engagement rings
