What is the difference between American Moissanite and Belgian Magic Star Diamond?

There are the following differences between Belgian magic star diamonds and American moissanite diamonds:

1. Different color grades: the American CC Moissanite can only reach DF color, and the Belgian Magic Star Diamond has excellent white D color and extremely white D color, which can really reach D color and has reached the color grade of high-quality natural diamonds, which means that the Belgian Magic Star diamond is more sparkling and brighter than the American Moissanite.

2. Different specific gravity: extremely white moissanite is closer to diamond in terms of specific gravity, and under the same size, one carat diamond is about equal to carat extremely white moissanite, while American C&C excellent white moissanite only has carats. Belgian moissanite is heavier and more valuable than American CC moissanite.

3. Different cuts: Extremely white moissanite follows the traditional diamond processing process and adopts the most advanced Belgian cut cutting, so it is closer to the diamond in terms of specific gravity, and the table looks as deep and charming as the diamond, and there will be no whitening, which can be said to be better than the American moissanite.

4. The waist cut is different: the Belgian magic star diamond has a wider waist, while the American CC Moissanite has a narrower waist. The crown is thinner resulting in a low specific gravity, the product is thin, there is no sense of depth, the crown of Moissanite is 33% higher than that of the same moissanite, and the product is textured and has a sense of depth.

I look at the parameters of the American Moissanite and the Belgian Magic Star Diamond, there are some differences in grade, I remember that the American Moissanite color grade is DF color, the Belgian Magic Star Diamond color grade is D color, the Belgian Magic Star Diamond and the quality of the diamond are almost the same, so it seems that the position of the American Moissanite boss is no longer guaranteed.

The magic star diamond is a moissanite, but the name is different. Name**Dr. Yu Moissan.

The market says that the Magic Star Diamond usually refers to the Belgian Magic Star Diamond, which follows the traditional diamond processing process and adopts the most advanced Belgian cut cut, so it is closer to the diamond in terms of specific gravity, and the table looks as deep and charming as a diamond, which can be said to be better than a diamond.

They are all the same gemstones, however, the magic star diamond generally refers to the Belgian magic star diamond, and I saw an extremely white D color magic star diamond in the only diamond club before. I always thought that the best Moissanite was the American CC Moissanite and then the domestic Moissanite, only to find that the quality of the Belgian Magic Star Diamond is better than the American CC Moissanite, however, I haven't bought it yet, and I plan to buy one next time.

Moissanite is nearly colorless and is the world's finest naturally cultured "diamond", but Moissanite is the first thing that attracts attention because of its resemblance to diamonds. The same brilliance, the same crystal clear, the same beauty and charm.

First of all, diamonds and moissanites in gemstone properties. The refractive index is almost the same, the Mohs hardness is comparable, the astigmatism is approximated, and the most prominent thing is that the fire of moissanite reaches an astonishing one, which is as much as twice that of diamond, making moissanite the most sparkling gemstone. Moissanite also has one characteristic in common with diamonds:

Never fade. Moreover, this high-end gemstone, which has its own name and certification is not an imitation of a diamond, is only one-tenth the size of a diamond.

The thermal conductivity meter cannot distinguish between diamonds and Moissanite diamonds, and must be identified by the 590 colorless silicon carbide diamond detector of C3 Company in the United States. Measured with diiodomethane (density per cubic centimeter gram) liquid, moissanite floats and diamond sinks. Inclusions can also be observed with a magnifying glass and the fire method can be used to aid identification.

Why is it also called imported moissanite, some people will choose American moissanite, and some people have to look for Belgian magic star diamond, in the end, the United States and Belgium are these two kinds of moissanite is really very different? Below, we will conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis from the aspects of crystal, cut, ring, etc., so that you can choose a better choice of moissanite.

Belgian Moissanite, also known as Belgian Magic Star Diamond, is a new type of Moissanite developed by the "World Diamond Center" in Antwerp, Belgium for three years, and has been the United States monopoly on the high-quality market of Moissanite until then. Since the expiration of the Moissanite patent, the world has begun to invest in the research and development of Moissanite, and the top Moissanite products led by Belgium's Magic Star Diamond were born.

Cut: Belgium Moissanite has its own diamond boss Antwerp, Belgium for the cutting process, you must know that this is specifically used for cutting diamonds at the level, so the cut out of Moissanite is closer to the diamond, the diamond table is as transparent as the diamond, it can be said that it is better than the American Moissanite.

In terms of specific gravity: under the same size of one carat, one carat of Belgian moissanite is about equal to grams, while one carat of American moissanite is only gram, indicating that Belgian moissanite is heavier than American moissanite.

Appearance: The girdle of the Belgian moissanite is 33% higher than that of the moissanite, and the loose diamond product presents a texture with a deep and charming sparkle.

In terms of color: American moissanite usually achieves the color level of DF color, while the Belgian magic star diamond can really achieve true D color, which means that Belgian moissanite is whiter and more sparkling than American moissanite.

Clarity: Based on the fact that Belgium is the world's diamond center, the technology is relatively advanced, and the clarity of Belgium's moissanite can reach the IF level. You should know that the highest clarity in the United States is only VVS.

**Aspect: The Belgian magic star diamond under the D color grade of the same quality is more than 1,000 yuan lower than the American moissanite, which is more cost-effective.

After such a set of analysis, everyone knows how to choose!

The main differences between American moissanite and diamond are as follows:

1) Growth environment: Diamond is a carbon mineral that grows naturally underground, and its yield is low, while Moissanite is a combination of carbon and silicon minerals, which has high risk and low yield in the cultivation process.

2) Fire: The high price of diamonds stems from this unique and attractive fire, dispersion index (fire), the charm of moissanite is that it is higher than the color index (fire) of diamonds, and the fire flashes higher than diamonds in different environments and is seven colors.

3) Hardness: Diamond is the hardest gemstone in nature, with a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale, and Moissanite is second only to diamond in nature.

4) The physical characteristics of the two are relatively close, so moissanite can also pass the diamond pen;

When wearing moissanite, people generally think that it is a diamond with good fire color. Even most moissanite is more perfect than diamonds. Because there is always a little flaw in nature, and the quality of moissanite grown in the laboratory is more controllable, and the quality of good quality moissanite is almost perfect.

American moissanite and diamond are difficult to distinguish from the naked eye, and American moissanite and diamond also have 4C standards (color, clarity, weight, carat, cut).

1. Moissanite is silicon carbide, and diamond is carbide;

2. American moissanite is birefringent, dispersive picosecond nanometer; Diamonds are singly refractive and dispersive picosecond nanometers;

3. The Mohs hardness of diamonds is 10, and the American Moissanite is;

4. One-tenth of the American Moissanite **Diamond**;

The square silicone Moissanite is indistinguishable from a diamond, not even a device, but if you look closely, you will find that the fire of the Moissanite is stronger than that of a diamond. Tested under professional instruments, the fire of the magic star is twice that of the diamond. In the firelight, the diamond is, the magic star is; In terms of refractive power, diamond is, magic star is, and the fire and refractive degree of magic star are more than diamond.

On the Mohs scale, diamond is 10, and magic star is, much higher than other gemstones. Although born in Antwerp, Belgium's diamond capital, the Magic Star diamond is very affordable.

The color grade, specific gravity, cut, waist cut, these places are all different.

One is more natural and closer to diamond; One is more natural, a bit close to diamonds.

You might be a little more intuitive to say this, well, it's up to you.

The market says that the magic star diamond usually refers to the Belgian magic star diamond, the Belgian magic star diamond follows the traditional diamond processing process, adopts the most advanced Belgian cut cutting, so the specific gravity is closer to the diamond, the table looks as deep and charming as the diamond, and there will be no whitening, which can be said to be better than the domestic moissanite.

In September 2016, the global opening of moissanite production patents, Square Silicone immediately established an independent department of magic star stone for research and development, which lasted three years to cultivate a real D color flawless white magic star diamond, and applied the mature Belgian diamond technology to the magic star diamond to create an extremely white moissanite that is extremely similar to the diamond in terms of attributes and appearance.

The difference between the Belgian magic star diamond and the domestic moissanite

1、**。The most intuitive difference is that the Belgian magic star diamond is expensive, and the domestic moissanite is cheap or not high.

In addition to being expensive, the Belgian Magic Star diamond is also similar to a diamond, with a carat premium rule such as 1 carat 3500, and 2 carats are not simply multiplied by 2, but may reach 7000.

2. Cut. The cut of the Belgian magic star diamond is mainly based on the Belgian cut, which is similar to the cut used in diamonds.

There are many cuts of domestic moissanite, and there are many patterns. But domestic moissanite is **in**, and the cut will not be too delicate.

3. The difference in the quality of the original crystals.

The quality of the rough cut crystals determines the quality of the final cut moissanite loose stone. Belgian magic star diamonds tend to give people a more transparent, more sparkling, and better sense of fire. The crystals of domestic moissanite basically come from those research institutes engaged in semiconductor research, and the quality is not flattering.

4. Test certificate.

At present, the most authoritative institution in the gem industry to identify moissanite is GIA (American Gem Society), which is confirmed to be universal and highly recognized, which is also the key difference between Belgian magic star diamond and domestic moissanite.

Domestic moissanite generally comes with certificates, but they are all miscellaneous high imitation certificates, so I won't give examples here. After all, moissanite is not a natural gemstone, and the testing agency will not give it a grading test when it issues a test certificate.

The magic star diamond is to take the domestic moissanite to pass off the import, and then belittle the domestic moissanite, what is this kind of business? Now the American moissanite is imported into China, and then exported to countries around the world in reverse, and now it is still playing this trick to fool the Chinese, too rubbish! And the magic star diamond is known as the Belgian diamond, but Belgium does not produce Moissanite at all, I want to say that the magic star diamond is packaged by a small company in Foshan, the purpose is to obtain huge profits!

One of the main differences is the quality.

The magic star diamond includes the moissanite, which is the best quality representative of the moissanite.

Moissanite includes imported moissanite and domestic moissanite, and the quality is uneven.

As of March 30, 2020, the official Moissanite in China shows that the Belgian Magic Star Diamond 1 carat D color IF grade is about 5-6 thousand yuan (excellent quality), the American Moissanite ** is normal at about 6-7 yuan per carat (good quality), and the domestic moissanite ** is normally about 300 yuan per carat (poor quality).

Moissanite is the same as diamond. To measure the quality of the moissanite diamond, we must first look at its 4C quality, the higher the quality of the cut, color, clarity and weight, the higher the ** of the magic star diamond. Conversely, the lower the quality, the lower the quality of the moissanite.

**Probably between 1,000 and 10,000.

Based on the reference ** of the Diamond Club, the clarity, color and cut of the one-carat Belgian Magic Star diamond are FL IF, D, and Excellent respectively, and ** is around 4,005.

The ** of Moissanite is mainly determined by the ** of the magic star diamond, so we should consider it from 4 aspects.

1. Color: The color of moissanite is divided into: d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x.

The darker the tone, the worse the quality, the current top color of Moissanite is D color, and then push it back in turn.

2. Weight: Since the magic star diamond is 10% lighter than a diamond of the same size, most jewelers will prefer to sell the moissanite diamond according to its size rather than its weight. If you buy a moissanite diamond based on weight, you will find that it is 10% larger than expected.

3. Clarity: The clarity grade is based on the position of the inclusions, and the clarity grade from high to low can be divided into FL (flawless), IF (flawless), VVS1-VVS2 (very slightly flawed), VS1-VS2 (slightly flawed), SI1-SI2 (slightly flawed), P1-P3 (flawed).

4. Cut: from high to low, it is divided into EX (perfect), VG (very good), G (good), F (average), P (low) The higher the level, the higher the grid.

Well, domestic and Belgian magic.

The difference between the copy star diamond is that its quality is different, the quality of the domestic is not as good as the quality of the Belgian zhi, and the Belgian magic star diamond is extremely white D color one carat** about 5-6 thousand (the best quality). Domestic moissanite is about 1-3,000 per carat (relatively inferior in quality). It depends on whether you like ** or quality.

The Magic Star Diamond applies the advanced diamond cutting technology of Belgium to the moissanite, which makes the original strong fire more shocking, because the Belgian Magic Star Diamond has stronger cutting technology and higher color grade, and its fire will be more noticeable, brighter and more sparkling than the American Moissanite. The technical requirements of the Belgian Magic Star Diamond Extreme White D color are very, very high, such as the EF color is all discarded, and the survival rate of the finished product is only 1%, so its production is not high and the quantity is limited, and the monthly output is between 1000-1300 carats.

Domestic moissanite cultivated crystal ** in the field of industrial semiconductors, crystal color, clarity can not reach the jewelry application grade, lack of clear and transparent appearance, resulting in domestic moissanite color grade concentrated in gh color, slightly yellowish and a little flawed, than only the best quality moissanite will be Belgian magic star diamond D color white series inferior, domestic crystal stability price is poor, prone to fog white phenomenon.
