Fire Dispersion:

Diamond

Moissanite

Moissanite vs. Diamond

Moissanite the Jewel

More fire than any other.

Moissanite's remarkable dispersion (fire)—its ability to break white light into the spectral (rainbow) colors—is one reason so many women are enchanted by its beauty.

With more fire than any popular gemstone—including diamond, ruby, sapphire and emerald—no other gemstone or jewel compares to Charles & Colvard created Moissanite™. In fact, fire can be measured scientifically and with a dispersion of 0.104 moissanite has nearly 2.4 times the fire of diamond.

The more times you see moissanite and the longer you look at it, the more you realize it's a jewel worth owning.
