Berlian dan Moissanite – Pilihan untuk Batu Mulia selain Berlian

Semua Batu mulia yang berwarna putih terlihat seperti Berlian di social media, tetapi kenyataanya sangat berbeda. Kami telah membedakan antara Berlian, Moissanite dan juga Berlian yang di kembangkan di Laboratorium, serta Zirkonia sebagai acuan untuk anda dalam memilih Permata yang baik.
Mengapa begitu banyak pertanyaan di Google seperti : “ Apakah berlian saya Asli?”
Karena jika kita berbicara mengenai Berlian atau Moissanite, Yang menjadi perbedaan yang sangat mencolok adalah Harga. Banyak Bahasa ungkapan yang di gunakan untuk menjelaskan perbedaan jenis Permata Putih dengan retagn harga berkisar dari 80 ribu rupiah sampai 80 jutaan per Carat.
Kebanyakan Berlian, Moissanite, ataupun Berlian yang di hasilkan dari Laboratorium, Kubik Zirconia, dan terkadang Shappire bening terlihat sama di media sosial, Tetapi setiap batu permata memiliki karakter dan kandungan yang berbeda dari jenis lainnya. Jadi, Apa yang menjadi pembeda antara Moissanite yang menjadi Alternatif untuk Berlian dan mengapa Berlian bernilai sangat mahal jika kita bandingkan dengan permata lainnya?

Kemilau dari Berlian Alternatif adalah
“MOISSANITE”

Apakah Moissanite itu sebenarnya? Moissanite merupakan permata yang di ciptakan untuk sebagi pengganti berlian, Moissanite menjadi permata pavorit yang diminati banyak orang karena ramah di kantong. Awet, terjangkau dan memiliki pancaran kilau warna warni yang memukau. Secara Teknis, moissanite merupakan pengganti berlian yang memiliki kilau dan pancaran setara dengan berlian.

Dari mana sebenarnya Moissanite itu Berasal?

Moissanite pertama kali ditemukan pada tahun 1893 ketika sebuah meteorit yang mengandung partikel mikroskopis silikon karbida menghantam sebuah wilayah di Arizona. Tetapi, Anda tidak akan menemukan meteorit Moissanite yang asli di pasaran saat ini. Bertahun-tahun kemudian, partikel-partikel ini berhasil diciptakan untuk menjadi moissanite seperti yang kita kenal sekarang. Saat ini, moissanite adalah alternatif berlian yang dikembangkan di laboratorium, diciptakan oleh para ahli agar memiliki kemilau melebihi berlian.

Apakah Cincin Moissanite dan Berlian Terlihat serupa?

Singkatnya “Iya”
Perbedaan terbesar antara berlian dan moissanite adalah pancaran kemilaunya. Moissanite memiliki indeks kilau lebih tinggi daripada berlian yakni 2,69 vs 2,65. Ini berarti dapat dikatakan kilau cahaya dari Moissanite lebih baik, dan membuatnya memiliki kilauan yang lebih menyala. Secara teknis, Kilauan moissanite hampir dua kali lipat lebih besar dari berlian yakni 0,104 vs 0,044. Anda bisa melihatnya lebih jelas saat berada di bawah sinar matahari atau Sinaran lampu yang terang.

Moissanite & Diamond - The question of durability

Diamonds are durable enough for engagement rings, but is moissanite too?
Of course!
Perhaps not quite as hard as a diamond, however, a moissanite is very high at 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale and is extremely easy to wear.


Moissanite & Diamond - The Size

However, since moissanite is also sold in carats, similar to diamonds, not all carats are created equal. Moissanite is about 15% lighter than diamond.
So this means that a one carat moissanite is larger than a one carat diamond. For this reason, diamond alternatives such as moissanite are often sold by size rather than carat weight.
If you are curious how big a one carat diamond looks in comparison and in different shapes please see our size chart.

If moissanite and lab diamonds are both lab grown, aren't they the same?

In short, no.
As we learned above, all types of gemstones are lab grown, each with their unique atomic and optical properties. Moissanite is a diamond simulant while lab diamonds are just plain diamonds Laboratory diamonds are artificial diamonds that have an identical atomic structure to mined diamonds. They are made up of tiny carbon atoms arranged in the typical diamond crystal structure. They don't just look like diamonds; they are diamonds, but from a laboratory.
Diamond simulants are also created in a lab, but are sold at a much lower price than lab-made diamonds. So what is the good thing to say about these stones? Each of them looks great in any environment in its own way.
In addition to moissanite and cubic zirconia, there are several hybrid simulants on the market that use misleading terms such as "lab grown diamond simulants". Although they are lab grown, they are not lab grown diamonds!
Rule of thumb: If the price looks too good to be true, it probably is.
If you see the word simulant, you are buying a stone that looks like a diamond but may not have the same durability or longevity. After all, just because it looks like a diamond doesn't make it a diamond.
Other diamond alternatives - do they hold up?
Should You Buy a Cubic Zirconia Engagement Ring?
A zirconia may be good as a travel or placeholder ring. As an engagement ring that can withstand the rigors of everyday life? Rather not.

Moissanite vs Cubic Zirconia - what's the difference?

Discovered in the 1930s, cubic zirconia is made of zirconium oxide, another entirely different crystal. Moissanite is made up of silicon and carbon and diamonds are made up of carbon. All white, all sparkling, but not all the same.
Like moissanite, cubic zirconia is lab grown. Unlike Moissanite, Cubic Zirconia is harder, ranging from 8 to 8.4 on the hardness scale. Cubic zirconia is also less tough and more prone to breakage.
Cubic zirconia is also a grease magnet and tends to dull easily, losing its lustre fairly quickly. It takes a lot of maintenance to keep that ready-to-go shine. Zirconia is therefore not recommended as an alternative to diamonds.

What about white sapphire?

If you're looking for diamond alternatives, you've undoubtedly come across white sapphire. While the stone may seem alluring to sapphire lovers, there are definitely factors to consider before choosing it as your everlasting stone!
Should you buy a white sapphire engagement ring?
Not if you're looking for a diamond alternative. White sapphire is a separate category. It's a great option if you're looking for a more understated and vintage look, or if you have a special connection to sapphire! It's a much more durable choice than cubic zirconia, which has a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. If you're looking for a natural white gemstone but a diamond isn't an option, you might consider a white sapphire.
The biggest difference between white sapphire, diamond and moissanite is the sparkle. As mentioned above, moissanite gives you a fiery rainbow glow, while diamonds reflect that bright white and a fair amount of fire. White sapphire is significantly duller than these sparkling stones. It also tends to have a lot of cloudiness.
