White Moissanite Vs. Diamond
Women today are hard to impress. Even the best looking flowers or the best holiday destinations are not enough to impress. That is more than enough for you men to step up your game. It would be best if you thought outside the box because it is not easy. Most men think that showing off their wealth will give them an upper hand, but it won’t. You need to show a woman how precious she is, not how valuable your wealth is.
“I wanted to make her feel special, but I was torn between the diamond and the Moissanite. Both were lovely gems and with their own uniquely impressive qualities. It was like choosing two favorite people in your life. What was I supposed to do? She would love both! In the end, I decided to go with Moissanite. Something about it just beckoned to me more than the diamond one,” tells Adrian, a famous reality show star.
Like Adrian above, if you think she is the right woman for you, you can surprise her by proposing to her. Think of doing something out of the ordinary to make her feel unique. Do not be like other men and do the usual stuff and buy the typical ring for your proposal.
So you could be wondering, which best should you pick, the Moissanite or the diamond?
It would be best if you only chose between two of the best. These two being, the Moissanite and the Diamond rings. If the ring is of low quality, then your woman would not be happy. Giving your woman an exquisite ring has more advantages. But you need to understand what each stone is.

Forever One Moissanite has a refractive index from 2.65-2.69, which is higher than that of a diamond.
Diamond has a fantastic brilliance but not as the same as forever one Moissanite. It has different brilliance from Moissanite. It is due to the difference in their faceting pattern. The diamond reflects light through brilliance, dispersion, and scintillations, making it sparkle differently.
