Planning on getting a diamond ring? Try moissanite instead, it's far superior in practically every way
How does moissanite compare to diamond?
- Very similar hardness (9.25+ vs 10), but lower value makes moissanite a bit less brittle, less prone to chipping and more durable overall
- Higher refractive index (2.65–2.69 vs 2.42), which gives moissanite more brilliance and sparkle compared to diamonds
- Lower Abbe number. It means that moissanite tends to disperse light into colors more than diamond, giving moissanite more fiery or rainbow colors
- Usually lab-produced, so much more ethical in general, and much higher clarity on average
- It’s waaay cheaper
So for anyone going for a diamond ring, I suggest trying moissanite instead. The only thing that diamond has going for it in this comparison is just decades-long PR. It’s not even a fun gem chemistry-wise, it’s just carbon. Moissanite, on the other hand, is SiC :)

New community icon and some behind the scenes screenshots of its 3D model
The icon is designed as a hypothetically producible piece of jewelry, except that the corners — those tiny semi-spheres that hold the gems — are a bit larger to accommodate the icon's scale. The piece has a partially open back to allow for more light to reach the gems. That makes them look prettier both in renders and irl. Front view, back view
The model was created in Rhino and later welded and polished in ZBrush to make it appear closer to how it would look in real life. zBrush smoothing
