While lab diamonds have stolen the spotlight in recent years, there’s another affordable alternative to natural diamonds that is even easier on the wallet—and gives you the same glittering look. Moissanite originated as a naturally occurring gemstone found in meteorites, but today, it’s often created in a lab and has a near-identical appearance to diamonds. 

This sparkling gemstone is second only to diamonds on the Mohs hardness scale, which has made it a popular choice for engagement rings. Moissanite actually has more brilliance than a diamond, and you’ll often get more flashes of rainbow color—which can be a plus depending on how much glitz you want in a stone.

Ready to explore some of the most marvelous moissanite rings on the market? Here are 10 of our favorites.
