Is Moissanite a Suitable Alternative for An Engagement Ring?

If you are considering purchasing an engagement ring in Raleigh, NC, you can be sure that a radiant moissanite engagement ring will be the perfect choice.
Understand why so many people are going for moissanite over diamonds for an engagement ring in 2023.

  • What is Moissanite?

    Moissanite is a natural mineral called silicon carbide, found in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by Dr. Henry Moissan.
    Many years later, in a research laboratory, scientists have created the innovative method for producing silicon carbide crystals with such purity that they can compete any natural gemstone.

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

  • How does moissanite compare to diamonds?

    The biggest 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 compared to 2.42 for diamonds. This means it will give 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 bad taste?

    Moissanite rings are by no means tacky looking. Moissanite ranks 9.50 on the Mohs Hardness Scale (when diamond ranks 10), which means a moissanite ring is incredibly durable and ideal for daily wear.

  • Does moissanite lose its glitter?

    Moissanite will not lose its glitter with time. It is as strong as a diamond. As a consequence it is impossible for a radiant moissanite engagement ring to fade or alter the color as time passes.

  • Do moissanite rings last forever?

    Moissanite is a stunning gemstone that is virtually as hard as a diamond. Moissanite, just like diamonds, will last permanently.

  • Are moissanite rings chipped 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 suitable for everyday use, it does not break nor scratch, and will maintain his shine over time.

7 Majors Pros and Cons About Radiant Moissanite Engagement Ring

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 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 radiant moissanite engagement ring is diamond Since Moissanite and Diamond show no distinction to the naked eye that people could make comments about the price and the size of your radiant moissanite engagement ring and you may feel uncomfortable about it.
  • Some old-fashion jewelers who may not feel comfortable working on your radiant moissanite engagement ring If at some point you need to have your radiant moissanite engagement 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.
