Is Moissanite Good for A Wedding Band?

If you are considering purchasing a wedding band in Schenectady, NY, you can be assured that a moissanite wedding band will be the perfect choice.
Understand the reasons why so many people are choosing moissanite over diamonds for a wedding band in 2024.

  • What is moissanite?

    Moissanite is a natural mineral classified as silicon carbide, found in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan.
    Several years later, in a research laboratory, scientists have created the unique method for producing silicon carbide crystals with such purity that they match any earthly gemstone.

    It's also significantly cheaper than diamonds of similar shapes and sizes, costing only 10% of the price. This is why moissanite is considered the best diamond alternative.

  • How does a diamond differ from a moissanite?

    The major visible difference between diamonds and moissanite is how they sparkle. Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond. Moissanite has a refractive index of 2.65 versus 2.42 for diamonds. This means it will give you more shine 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 tacky looking. 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 shine?

    Moissanite will not lose its glitter with time. It is as stable as a diamond. As a consequence it is impossible for a moissanite wedding band to lose or fade the color with time.

  • Do moissanite rings last for ever?

    Moissanite is a wonderful gemstone that is virtually 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 extremely durable and resistant to scratching and abrasion.

7 Majors Pros and Cons About Moissanite Wedding Band

Pros:

  • Moissanite will provide you with a spectacular sparkle.

    Moissanite has an even higher refractive index than diamond (2.65 vs 2.42 for diamonds). This means it will give you more brilliance 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 wedding band is diamond

    Moissanite and Diamond show no difference to the naked eye that people could make comments about the price and the size of your moissanite wedding band and you may feel uncomfortable about it.

  • Some old-fashion jewelers who may not feel comfortable working on your moissanite wedding band

    If at some point you need to have your moissanite wedding band 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.

  3. Decide what metal type.

    The two major types of metals used for a wedding band are platinum and gold.
    The mark up between a platinum and a gold moissanite wedding band is primarily due to the metal's purity level.

    Platinum

    The platinum moissanite wedding band is normally $500 to $800 more expensive than a gold moissanite wedding band since there is more pure platinum in it. Also, it is 66% heavier than 14k gold.

    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 wedding band colors of gold are white, yellow, and rose. White gold is the most popular choice for a wedding band

  5. Find out the finger size needed.
