Are you a lover of timeless elegance and effortless sparkle? If you’re drawn to gemstones that keep things simple yet stunning, you’re in for a treat! Today, we’re shining a light on five dazzling clear and colorless stones that make perfect choices for your jewelry collection! Whether you’re searching for the perfect engagement ring or a versatile everyday piece, let’s explore the best options out there!
Moissanite
If you love sparkle, moissanite is here to steal the show! This lab-grown beauty is a popular diamond alternative known for its dazzling fire and brilliance. When exposed to light, moissanite creates a mesmerizing display of rainbow flashes that are impossible to ignore. Talk about a conversation starter! With a ranking of 9.25 on the Mohs scale, it’s a durable option that comes close to a diamond’s toughness.
White Sapphire
Next up is white sapphire, a sophisticated choice from the corundum family - home to the iconic blue sapphire and fiery ruby. What makes white sapphire unique? It lacks trace elements that create color, leaving behind a clean, crystal-clear appearance. With a Mohs hardness of 9, it’s a durable option, but keep in mind that sapphires can attract dirt and scratch more easily than moissanite. A little extra TLC will keep it shining bright!
White Topaz
If you’re looking for a clear gem that won’t break the bank, white topaz is a fantastic choice! This silicate mineral comes in a variety of shades, but its colorless form is a stunner. Unlike sapphire and moissanite, white topaz is a bit softer, sitting at an 8 on the Mohs scale, so it requires mindful wear and regular care to maintain its brilliance. Still, it’s an affordable and eye-catching alternative gemstone for those who love a little sparkle!

White Zircon
Not to be confused with cubic zirconia, zircon is a naturally occurring gemstone that boasts incredible brilliance. Fun fact: it’s also one of December’s birthstones! White zircon is known for its high refractive index, meaning it reflects light beautifully - almost like a diamond. However, with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 7.5, it’s more delicate and requires extra care to keep it looking flawless. But don’t worry, with proper maintenance, this gemstone can stay as radiant as ever!
Diamond
Of course, we can’t forget every girl’s best friend - the diamond! Known as the hardest gemstone, diamonds sit at a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale, making them the most durable option. When shopping for a diamond, remember the 4 C’s, cut, color, clarity, and carat, to find the perfect fit for your dream ring. While diamonds tend to be pricier than some other options, they’re a forever investment that will never go out of style.
Want a more ethical option? Lab grown diamonds have the same physical and chemical properties as natural diamonds but are created in a controlled environment, making them a sustainable and budget-friendly choice. We love offering stunning lab diamond options like our 0.91ct Blake ring - a timeless beauty you can make your own!
