Does Moissanite Make a Good Engagement Ring?

If you are considering purchasing an engagement ring in Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, you can be assured that a moissanite ring will be the perfect choice.
Understand why so many people are choosing moissanite over diamonds for an engagement ring in 2024.

What is moissanite?

Moissanite is a natural mineral identified 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 perfected the innovative method of making silicon carbide crystals that are so flawless that they can match any earthly gemstone.

It's also considerably less expensive than diamonds of equivalent shapes and sizes, costing approximately 10% of the price. This is why moissanite is viewed as the best diamond alternative.

What is the difference between a diamond and a moissanite?

The main 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 versus 2.42 for diamonds. This means it will give 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 far from bad taste. Moissanite ranks 9.50 on the Mohs Hardness Scale (when diamond ranks 10), which means a moissanite ring is extremely durable and ideal for daily wear.
Does moissanite lose its glitter?

Moissanite will not lose its shine with time. It is as stable as a diamond. For that reason it is impossible for a moissanite ring to lose or fade the color over time.
Do moissanite rings last forever?

Moissanite is a beautiful gemstone that is nearly as hard as a diamond. Moissanite, just like diamonds, will last forever.
Are moissanite rings scratch 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.

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

7 Majors Pros and Cons About Moissanite 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 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.

Decide what metal type.

The two major types of metals used for an engagement ring are platinum and gold.
The price gap between a platinum and a gold moissanite ring is primarily attribuable to the metal's purity level.

Platinum

The platinum moissanite ring is generally $500 to $800 more expensive than a gold moissanite ring since there is more pure platinum in it. In addition, it is 66% heavier than 14k gold.

Platinum has a naturally white metal with a beautiful brilliance that emphasizes 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).
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.
Find out the finger size needed.

Why is purchasing online a better option than purchasing at a brick and mortar store in 2024?

Larger choice of engagement rings: Visiting several stores in person to look at a small selection of engagement rings would take much longer than viewing 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.
