Diamonds vs Moissanite, Brilliance:
Moissanite is actually more brilliant than a diamond! Brilliance, which refers to a stones ability to reflect white light, is a good measure for how much a gemstone will sparkle. Moissanites brilliance is higher than diamonds due to its higher refractive index (Diamonds is 2.42, whereas Moissanites is 2.65). This is a technical term for how much a gemstone bends light. Moissanite bends light a lot, meaning light bounces around more, giving it max sparkle! In addition, moissanite has a higher dispersion than a diamond, too. So, in addition to your moissanite giving off more white sparkle, it will actually reflect more colored sparkle (fire), too. In fact, your moissanite will look like a firework next to a diamond.
Bonus! Because moissanite contains some silicon, it is also less likely to attract grease or dirt than a diamond. That means a moissanite will sparkle more in between cleanings, too.

Does Moissanite lose its sparkle?
No! Moissanite stays super sparkly for its whole life. Because of its superior hardness and great refractive index, Moissanite stands the test of time. Unlike a CZ (a less beautiful diamond simulant), you never have to worry about Moissanite becoming dull, losing its brilliance, or getting foggy. It will be beautiful and bright forever!
