Moissanite equals or outperforms diamonds just about all categories. In particular it has superior brilliance, fire and luster. The only category in which it doesn’t outperform diamonds is hardness. It is slightly softer than diamond, but only very slightly, and is harder than all other stones. Jewellers can stuggle to tell difference between diamonds and Moissanite. In fact there is now a specific instrument which has been developed to help jewellers to tell difference between diamond and moissanite as it is so hard to see and so many cannot tell them apart.

It will not scratch or become cloudy with wear.

In 1999 US imported 23.4 million carats (karats) of diamond and only .07 million carats of Moissanite. It is very rare.

There are other diamond substitutes available such as cubic zirconia or even glass. Moissanite outperforms all these admirably.

Moissanite is not really a diamond substitute though. It is a new jewel in its own right. It is just so good that it is immediately compared to diamonds which are always thought of as best jewel.

If you are thinking of diamond jewelry then moissanite has to be considered. It is far cheaper than a comparable diamond. It is high quality. It is a great jewel. At end of day it is not diamond and so if you are determined to get a diamond then do so. But it is a very attractive alternative.

It is more and more becoming choice of stars.

Kim Cattrall's character, Samantha Jones, wore a brilliant white gold ring featuring Moissanite in an episode during last season of TV hit Sex and City.

Kiko Ellsworth, one of Hollywood's "Hot" young stars wore a brilliant pair of 2 ½ ct. Moissanite "Martini Stud" earrings to premiere of Bad Boys II, on July 9th in Los Angeles.

Many other stars have been seen wearing moissanite jewelry in last few years. It is becoming new fashion in jewelry. It is also becoming one of most popular engagement ring stones.

Moissanite is newest and certainly one of best jewelry stones available. Moissanite is here to stay.

Do not become obsessed with this topic but talk about things like this before it happens. Talk about how both of you would feel and what would cause both of you to entertain thoughts of cheating. Would it involve something physical like not receiving enough affection or something emotional like not feeling appreciated or loved? You want facts that will help you both understand what your needs are so you'll NOT look elsewhere.

We seek love and acceptance in our society and this does not change once we enter relationships. We want it regardless of changes we grow through with our body and spirit. So when we do not feel we are getting these things from ones we love, we seek it from others! If you do not want to make topic about two of you just yet, talk about cheating in relationships in general before opportunity presents itself to either of you.
