Is Moissanite a Waste of Money?

If you are considering a moissanite as a diamond alternative do not waste your money. Moissanite is a lab created synthetic mineral sold as a diamond alternative. It is overpriced, often times discolored with a greenish hue, and has absolutely no resale value.

Is moissanite worth buying?

Although moissanites are cheap, they aren't valuable. While we usually don't recommend diamonds as an investment (you'll almost always lose money if you ever decide to sell), they do retain some value over the long term and can be passed down as a precious family heirloom — something you can't do with a moissanite.

Are there any downsides to moissanite?
