Moissante isn't really a good diamond simulant, while it performs better in lab tests than CZ it's quite easy to spot a moissante stone in real life because of its double refraction. If you want a good diamond simulant I would suggest Asha, you can get them at betterthandiamond.com.

Another alternative is Apollo Diamond, they can actually make authentic diamonds in the lab, however they seem to have some issues and have post-poned their entrance to the retail market for a while. Then again you will have to pay almost as much as for a conventional diamond.
