Gracing Your Spouse’s Finger with a Moissanite Engagement Ring

May 12, 2021

Perhaps, your love life has taken a whole new turn – congratulations. Making it official is the next agenda on your checklist. Your family and friends are excited and currently mapping out some recommendations for you, including an engagement ring. But guess what? You don’t have thousands of dollars in cash to afford a diamond engagement ring. Have you considered moissanite as an ideal alternative? “Moissan-what?” you are puzzled.

Moissanites come with the same qualities and even more, compared to diamonds. So, you have nothing to worry about dealing with a fake diamond or diamond knock-off. Although both gems are similar in appearance, several qualities differentiate one from the other. This guide will introduce you to the world of moissanite and every other thing you need to know about it. Kindly read on.

Moissanites Beating Diamonds at Their Game

Apart from the fact that moissanite is cheaper than a diamond, which is a major scorecard, the gemstone kicks the long-term standing classic champion to the curb by offering radiance 2.4 times more. The reason for moissanite’s extreme brilliance revolves around its “double-refractive” properties. When light rays hit the gemstone, they bend and split in half before leaving the stone. As such, when you wear your moissanite engagement ring in the open, it turns heads in your direction.

Moissanites in the jewel market come with high clarity grade since they are produced artificially. So, when shopping for this gemstone, you always get the best. Besides, jewellers will not sell it if there are obvious inclusions and blemishes. Besides, if you are ethically conscious about the jewel you purchase, moissanite is your ideal alternative to diamonds. You don’t have to deal with unethical baggage, such as ending up with a blood diamond.

Sitting on Par with Diamonds in Other Categories

Diamonds are the toughest minerals on Earth, having a Mohs hardness scale rating of 10. However, moissanite jewels are not far behind these gems, scoring 9.5 on the Mohs scale of hardness. It implies that your moissanite engagement ring, wedding ring, earrings, and other related accessories will last you behind a lifetime. Moissanite is impervious to scratches, chips, and cracks. Even if a jeweller applies a jeweller’s torch to the gemstone careless, it remains intact due to its high heat resistance.

You can select moissanite in different cuts, colours, clarities, and carat weights. Speaking of cut, here are some of the available options: Square, Trilliant, Emerald, Oval, Princess, Pear, Heart, Radiant, Princess, Marquise, and Round. Additionally, the gemstone comes in several colour options, including, yellow, green, and brown. Jewellery shoppers who love the classic diamond look and feel can also get those qualities in a moissanite colourless variant.

In Summary

You don’t need a piece of diamond jewellery to make your engagement memorable, especially if you are on a budget. Moissanite offers a bang for your bucks, without you breaking the bank or emptying your wallet. With the right budget and ring size, you are on your way to creating an amazing moment with your spouse. The starting price for this jewel sits at $300. Anything less than that amount might be a knock-off.
