There's nothing quite as eye-catching as light hitting a diamond, creating an explosion of sparkle. However, there are other stones, some natural and some lab-created, with the same flicker. If you are searching for other clear stones that offer shimmer and shine, consider the following alternatives

The white sapphire has a softer look than a diamond but sometimes has blurred coloring. It lacks the sparkle and contrast of light and dark of a diamond but has its own type of glow.

White topaz is softer than diamonds, moissanite, and sapphires but is more durable than many other stones. It can be scratched, which will dull the appearance over time. The clarity and color between the two are very similar, but the brilliance is different.

A white zircon can be confused with diamonds based on appearance alone due to a very similar brilliance and a refractive index. However, it's softer and less durable, but the low cost allows for replacement.

It's full of beauty, but with a refractive index much lower than diamonds, the brilliance is going to be quite different. Quartz reflects light in a manner that is referred to as a twinkle more than a sparkle.
