Does Moissanite Make a Perfect Engagement Ring?

If you are considering purchasing an engagement ring in Mesa, AZ, you can be assured that a moissanite ring will be the perfect choice.
Find out the reasons why so many people are going for moissanite over diamonds for an engagement ring in 2023.

  • 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.
    Many years later, in a research laboratory, scientists have perfected the novel way to produce silicon carbide crystals that are so flawless that they can rival any geniune gemstone.

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

  • How do moissanite and diamonds compare?

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

    Moissanite rings are by no means bad taste. Moissanite ranks 9.50 on the Mohs Hardness Scale (when diamond ranks 10), which means a moissanite ring is extremely durable and perfect for daily wear.

  • Does moissanite lose its sparkle?

    Moissanite will not lose its shine with time. It is as stable as a diamond. That is why it is impossible for a moissanite ring to fade or fade the color as time passes.

  • Do moissanite rings last forever?

    Moissanite is a gorgeous gemstone that is virtually as hard as a diamond. Moissanite, like diamonds, is eternal.

  • Do moissanite rings get scratched easily?

    The MOH scale has a range from 0 to 10, with 10 being the hardest mineral. Moissanite has a hardness of 9.5, while 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.

 

7 Majors Pros and Cons About Moissanite Ring

Pros

  • Moissanite sparkles more than diamonds. Moissanite has an even higher refractive index than diamond (2.65 vs 2.42 for diamonds). This means it will give you more brightness than diamonds.
  • Moissanite Is Comparable to Diamonds in Hardness. Moissanite is the hardest stone after diamonds (9.5 vs 10 for diamonds). This indicates moissanite is suitable for daily wear, does not break or scratch easily, and will maintain his sparkle.
  • 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.
  • Moissanite is an ethical choice compared to most diamonds. One of the most common reasons for consumers to choose moissanite over diamonds nowadays is to help in the fight against child labor and unethical diamond mining, as described by the International Labour Organization here.

Cons

  • Moissanite does not offer the same heirloom quality. When you own diamond jewelry, you are passing down something valuable as a heritage.
  • People may make comments thinking your moissanite ring is diamond Because no one can see a difference between moissanite and diamond, people could make comments about the price and the size of your moissanite ring and you may feel uncomfortable about it.
  • Some old-fashion jewelers who may not feel comfortable working on your moissanite ring If at some point you need to have your moissanite ring adjusted or cleaned, you may bump into an old-school jeweler that would turn you down because your piece is not a diamond. This is happening less and less though, since nowadays more and more jewelers are use to work with moissanite.

Choosing the perfect engagement ring may be a complicated and frustrating process. On the other hand, dividing the process into two parts will help you narrow down your options. It will also keep you from making usual mistakes and increase your confidence in your decision.

How to Choose A Moissanite Ring in 6 Steps?

The following steps will guide you in designing your engagement ring in Mesa, AZ:

  1. Determine the style of the engagement ring.

  3. Choose the engagement ring setting in Mesa, AZ.

    • Channel Setting
    • Tension Setting
    • Bezel Setting
    • Cathedral Setting
    • Bar Setting

  4. Decide on the metal type.

    The two major types of metals used for an engagement ring are platinum and gold.
    The difference in price between a platinum and a gold moissanite ring is mostly imputable to the metal's purity level.
    The platinum moissanite ring is usually $500 to $800 more expensive than a gold moissanite ring 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 accentuates 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).

  5. Pick the color of the metal band.

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

  6. Find out the finger size needed.

    Larger choice of engagement rings: Visiting several stores in person to look at a small selection of engagement rings would be far longer than browsing hundreds of engagement rings styles online.
    Time-saving, 24/7 shopping: When purchasing an engagement ring online, customers can save a lot of time and money. There's no need to worry about going from one jeweler to the next without knowing if you'll find what you're searching.

  • Virtual shopping experience:
