Does Moissanite Make a Good Necklace?

If you are considering purchasing a necklace in Houston, TX, you can be certain that a moissanite necklace will be the perfect choice.
Find out the reasons why so many people are deciding on moissanite over diamonds for a necklace in 2024.

  • What is moissanite?

    Moissanite is a natural mineral classified as silicon carbide, discovered in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan.
    Several years later, in a research laboratory, scientists have created the innovative way to produce silicon carbide crystals that are so perfect that they match any geniune gemstone.

    It's also way more affordable than diamonds of equivalent shapes and sizes, costing just 10% of the price. This is why moissanite is viewed as the best diamond alternative.

  • How does a diamond differ from a moissanite?

    The main visible difference between diamonds and moissanite is how they glitter. 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 sparkle than a diamond.

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

     

    Characteristics Diamond Moissanite
    Brilliance Refraction Index (RI) 2.42 2.65-2.69
    Fire Dispersion 0.044 0.104
    Hardness Mohs Scales 10 9.5
    Toughness Good to Excellent Excellent
  • Are moissanite rings tacky looking?

    Moissanite rings are not at all tacky looking. Moissanite ranks 9.50 on the Mohs Hardness Scale (when diamond ranks 10), which means a moissanite ring is incredibly durable and perfect for daily wear.

  • Does moissanite lose its sparkle?

    Moissanite will not lose its glitter over time. It is as stable as a diamond. Hence it is impossible for a moissanite necklace to fade or alter the color with time.

  • Do moissanite rings last permanently?

    Moissanite is a beautiful gemstone that is almost as hard as a diamond. Moissanite, like diamonds, is eternal.

  • Are moissanite rings easily chipped?

    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.

Here is a quick guide to help you understanding the different gemstone size you can get for the same money.

  3. Decide what metal type.

    The two major types of metals used for a necklace are platinum and gold.
    The mark up between a platinum and a gold moissanite necklace is mostly due to the metal's purity level.
    The platinum moissanite necklace is usually $500 to $800 more expensive than a gold moissanite necklace since there is more pure platinum in it. Furthermore, it is 66% heavier than 14k gold.

    Platinum

    Platinum has a naturally white metal with a beautiful brilliance that enhances the brilliance and shine of diamonds or diamond alternatives.

    Gold

    24 Karat gold is 100 % pure gold. It is, however, too soft to be used in most jewelry. As a result, gold is mixed with other alloys to make it more durable and secure for gemstone settings, such as 18 karat gold (75 % pure gold) and 14 karat gold, which is the most commonly used in fine jewelry (58.3 % pure gold).

  4. Pick the color of the metal band.

    The common necklace colors of gold are white, yellow, and rose. White gold is the most popular choice for a necklace
