WHAT ARE THE DOWNSIDES TO MOISSANITE?

THE ANSWER

The rainbow flash. Moissanite has more fire than diamond. In direct sunlight, it throws colourful sparkles. Some love this. Others think it looks artificial. Resale value is low. You will not get much back if you sell it. Social perception is another factor. Some people still see moissanite as a lesser choice. That view is changing but it exists. Moissanite can also look slightly different from diamond under certain lights. Side by side, a trained eye might notice. On its own, most people cannot tell. If sparkle, hardness, and beauty matter more to you than status, the downsides are small.
