      The colors of gold for an engagement ring are white gold, yellow gold, and rose gold. The most popular choice for an engagement ring is white gold.

    • Platinum
      Platinum is the most pure and precious metals used in jewelry. It is extremely resistant to tarnishing and corrosion and is very soft and malleable.

      The colors for an engagement ring in platinum is a natural white with a beautiful brilliance.

    The price gap between a platinum and a gold engagement ring is primarily related to the metal's purity level.
    The platinum engagement ring is usually $500 to $800 more expensive than a gold engagement ring since there is more pure platinum in it. In addition, it is 66% heavier than 14k gold.

Is Lab-Created Diamonds a Good Alternative for An Engagement Ring?

If you are wondering if a lab-created diamond is the right choice for an engagement ring in Albuquerque, NM, then you can rest assured that a moissanite engagement ring is surely the perfect option.
Know the reasons why so many people chose moissanite over earth diamonds for an engagement ring in 2023.

  • What is moissanite?

    Moissanite is a natural mineral known as silicon carbide, found in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan.
    Many years later, in a research laboratory, scientists have developed the novel process to make silicon carbide crystals with such purity that they rival any earthly gemstone.

    It's also much more affordable than mined diamonds of comparable shapes and sizes, costing around 10% of the price. This is why moissanite is considered the best diamond alternative.

    The MOH scale ranges from a 0 to a 10, with a 10 being the hardest mineral. Moissanite is measured at a 9.5 (in comparison, diamonds have a hardness of 10). This means that moissanite is suitable for everyday use, it does not break nor scratch, and will maintain his brightness over time.
