If you or your bride-to-be are considering choosing a moissanite stone for your engagement ring, then you have excellent taste! Moissanite rings are a classic diamond alternative that have been loved by many for years, and for good reason! Although moissanite looks very similar to a naturally mined diamond, there are a few differences that may raise some questions. One of these questions might be the difference in sizing between moissanite engagement rings and natural diamond engagement rings, which can be confusing. In this article, we will discuss the difference between moissanite millimeters and diamond carats, as well as how to convert between the two.
Before discussing the size differences, it is important to first distinguish between moissanite and natural diamonds. Moissanite, also known as a “diamond alternative,” is grown in a lab and modeled after a naturally occurring diamond. The key differences between the two are durability, brilliance, color, and price. Choosing a moissanite engagement ring is not only a smart choice economically, but also comes with the added benefit of being conflict-free, unlike the mining process for natural diamonds. Despite costing less than a natural diamond, a moissanite gemstone looks just as real to the naked eye.
When you begin shopping for moissanite engagement rings, you might find the measurements confusing. Unlike natural diamonds, which are measured in carats, moissanite stones are typically measured in millimeters. This is because moissanite is about 10% lighter than natural diamonds, so instead of using carats as the unit of measurement, moissanite is categorized by its length (in millimeters). However, it is still possible to list a moissanite ring in carats, but in most cases, moissanite engagement rings are labeled with their size in millimeters. We have created a chart that compares the length of round moissanite rings to the carat weight of diamonds, which you can refer to when exploring your ring options. Keep in mind that moissanite sizes may vary depending on the cut of the stone!
