Does Moissanite Make a Great Engagement Ring?

If you are wondering if moissanite is the right choice for an engagement ring in Baltimore, MD, then you can be assured that a princess moissanite ring is without a doubt the perfect option.
Find out the reasons why so many people are choosing moissanite over 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.
    Several years later, in a research laboratory, scientists perfected the innovative process to make silicon carbide crystals with such purity that they can compete any natural gemstone.

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

  • What is the difference between a diamond and a moissanite?

    The biggest 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 vs 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 far from 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 glitter?

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

  • Do moissanite rings last permanently?

    Moissanite is a stunning gemstone that is almost as hard as a diamond. Moissanite, just like diamonds, will last for ever.

  • Do moissanite rings get scratched easily?

    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 very durable and extremely resistant to scratching and abrasion.

7 Majors Pros and Cons About Princess Moissanite Ring

Pros

  • You will receive an impressive sparkle with moissanite. Moissanite has an even higher refractive index than diamond (2.65 vs 2.42 for diamonds). This means it will give you more shine 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 princess moissanite ring is diamond Since Moissanite and Diamond are impossible to differentiate to the naked eye that people could make comments about the price and the size of your princess moissanite ring and you may feel uncomfortable about it.
  • Some old-fashion jewelers who may not feel comfortable working on your princess moissanite ring If at some point you need to have your princess 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.
