Our Mission

Here at bright Daystar we believe in providing more affordable options to diamond without sacrificing quality.

Moissanite and cubic zirconia are both popular diamond alternatives, but they have some significant differences compared to diamonds.

In terms of hardness, moissanite is the closest to diamond with a rating of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, while cubic zirconia has a hardness rating of 8.5. Diamonds are the hardest mineral on earth and have a rating of 10 on the Mohs scale.

When it comes to brilliance and fire, moissanite is known for having even more brilliance and fire than diamonds due to its high refractive index. Cubic zirconia, on the other hand, tends to have more rainbow flashes of color and less overall sparkle than both diamonds and moissanite.

In terms of cost, moissanite is generally more expensive than cubic zirconia, but much more affordable than diamonds. This makes it a popular choice for engagement rings and other jewelry where a diamond-like appearance is desired without the high cost.

In summary, moissanite is a good choice for those who want a diamond-like appearance, durability, and a high level of brilliance and fire at a more affordable price point than diamonds. Cubic zirconia, while also affordable, is not as durable and does not have the same level of brilliance and fire as moissanite. Making moissanite the perfect alternative to traditional diamonds.
