Although moissanites are cheap, they aren't valuable. While we usually don't recommend diamonds as an investment (you'll almost always lose money if you ever decide to sell), they do retain some value over the long term and can be passed down as a precious family heirloom — something you can't do with a moissanite.

Does moissanite have resale value?

Will Moissanite go up in value? Moissanite is not likely to increase in value, but neither is a typical diamond. Both generally resell at a substantial loss-especially if they're resold soon after being purchased.

Can you pawn moissanite?

Will Pawn Shops or Jewelry Stores Buy Moissanite? Pawn shops will buy just about any item that they're certain they can resell at a profit. They're a middle man, in the sense that they're going to turn and resell your Moissanite ring to an end user.
