There are other stones like cubic zirconia which is comparatively cheaper than diamond. But what makes moissanite special is that it rates higher on the Mohs hardness scale with 9.25 whereas CZ is 9. Moreover moissanite has more brilliance than CZ. Above all, moissanite in not a fake diamond but a mineral that looks similar to a diamond. What more, it is even more brilliant than a diamond and if you choose a cut with multiple points of refraction, people just can’t take their eyes off the engagement ring.
