Is Moissanite a Good Choice for An Engagement Ring?

If you are wondering if moissanite is the right choice for an engagement ring in Denver, CO, then you can rest assured that a moissanite engagement ring is without a doubt the best choice.
Find out the reasons why so many people prefer moissanite over diamonds for an engagement ring in 2023.

  • What is moissanite?

    Moissanite is a natural mineral called silicon carbide, discovered in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan.
    Several years later, in a research laboratory, scientists perfected the novel way to create silicon carbide crystals that are so flawless that they can compete any earthly gemstone.

    It's also considerably less expensive than diamonds of identical shapes and sizes, costing roughly 10% of the price. This is why moissanite is considered one of the best diamond alternative.

    The major difference between diamonds and moissanite is how they shine. Moissanite has a greater refractive index than diamond. Moissanite has a refractive index of 2.65 over 2.42 for diamonds. This means it will bring you more brilliance than a diamond.

    You will find below a characteristic comparison table between diamonds and moissanite.

  • Are moissanite rings tacky looking?

    Moissanite rings are far from tacky. Because it has similar characteristics to a diamond, it will retain its brilliance, color, and clarity for a lifetime and beyond.

  • Does moissanite lose its sparkle?

    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 sparkle over time.

  • Moissanite is a fraction of the price of diamonds at comparable color, cut, and clarity. Because it is so similar to diamonds, moissanite is the perfect diamond alternative without the diamond price tag.
