Natural Diamonds: Natural diamonds are created under the pressure of earth’s crust over millions of years. Once created they are mined, cut and polished. It is no secret that the quest for diamonds has contributed to human suffering. The impact has been especially severe in Africa, which contains much of the world’s natural diamond supply. Due to the controversial mining process involved, Natural Diamonds are considered less ethical than other alternatives. Natural diamonds are also considerably more expensive than other alternatives due to it’s finite supply.

Lab Grown Diamonds: Lab grown diamonds contain the same physical, chemical, and optical characteristics as natural diamonds, and exhibit the same fire, scintillation, and sparkle.

Moissanites (as opposed to cubic zirconia) are gemstones in their own right that are extremely rare and made of naturally occurring silicon carbide and its various crystalline polymorphs or can be lab created. The main difference between Moissanite and Lab grown diamonds is that Moissanite is the second hardest material to diamonds on the Mohs hardness scale, with more fire and brilliance than a diamond. Additionally, Moissanite stones are eco-friendly and more budget friendly compare to any diamond.
