What Is Moissanite?  

Diamonds are beautiful and their sparkly brilliance a joy to look at, but if you want the look without the cost, why not go for a more affordable option that looks identical to a diamond, like moissanite?   

Don’t start your marriage in debt! 

Life can get very expensive and trying to marry the person you love is one of the most expensive things you’re likely to do! Moissanite rings offer a way for couples to enjoy their wedding and honeymoon more, by paying less for a ring and freeing up more money for the fun stuff! 

Occasionally, people will go for a lab-created diamond to try something new, while a still experiencing the feeling of a traditional diamond, even though the origin differs. The age-old tradition of this gem holds significant meaning for many!   

What sets a moissanite apart? 

Many people are attracted to moissanite engagement rings based on their dispersion abilities. The “fire” of the stone refers to how moissanite shows its light, and this gem has more than double the capacity for light than a diamond! 

Without having saved a large amount of money, you won’t be able to buy a very big diamond. Moissanite allows you to go all out, for a fraction of the cost of diamond engagement rings. The best part is, no-one except a very, very trained eye will even know the difference, and you’ll have a beautiful piece of jewellery. The bigger the better! 

Solid and structurally sound 

As another beneficial aspect of its use in engagement rings, moissanite is able to endure bumps, falls and other accidents. Second only to diamonds in hardness, it is much stronger in form and structure than other gemstones. This makes it hardy and durable, and easy to wear on a day-to-day basis without worrying about damaging it. 

Moissanite is a champion at tolerating heat and pressure, and jewellers can fearlessly work with it to accommodate almost any design request, without hurting the stone.  Couples can commission exactly what they want at minimum cost, making life easier and saving money! The most important thing when you start working at making your moissanite dreams a reality, is the cut. The better the quality of the cut, the better the ring will present itself. The cut is what determines how much light is able to pass through, and the more light, the better.  

What colors can I get? 

Moissanite has a way of reflecting a very subtle yellow tint, but unless you are trained at inspecting gemstones, it is unlikely that you will notice this with the naked eye, particularly if you have no other stones to compare it to! Most of the time, moissanite will just look achromatic and clear. The technology behind good quality moissanite has come so far over the years, that even professionals need the right tools to tell the difference!  

Moissanite is definitely a solid option to explore, as it is truly a remarkable gem in its own right and represents originality and adaptability – aspects that many moissanite fans find very appealing. It is quickly growing into a trendy way to keep costs at a minimum while being able to get your dream ring, exactly the way you want it.
