Hidden Halo Engagement Ring

Who hasn’t heard about the Hidden Halo Engagement Ring? What seems to be the most popular style of Engagement Ring in the last year even giving the classic solitaire a run for its money. The Hidden Halo is exactly what it sounds like either featuring a plain band or diamond band. The main draw card is the string of diamonds that line the claws just conveniently tucked away from view if looking down at the ring from the top. It’s the side view that has most ladies gushing. The design encompasses the best of both worlds with a classic look from the top and a modern twist from the side.

With a lot of young couples searching for Diamond alternatives the best thing about this design is, it is leading the way for Moissanite Engagement Rings as well.

With an attractive price point, ethical origins and low environmental impacts these alternatives have quickly become the best alternative to buyers looking for a difference.

At a fraction of the price Moissanites can be anywhere from 5 – 15% the cost of its natural Diamond counterpart. Its no wonder Moissanites are a front runner and often the first choice for buyers when shopping for an Engagement Ring. The fact that they are significantly better priced than Diamonds is only one part of the appeal. In recent years technology and advancements regarding production and manufacture have made leaps and bounds.

Moissanites are looking good. The colour and cut as well as the clarity of the stones have improved drastically with the improvement of production techniques. The Round Brilliant especially rivals most lower grade Diamonds. The colour and clarity can now be produced in true D and VVS, meaning they are bright white and crystal clear something that you would need to pay a premium to get in a natural Diamond, even in a Lab Grown.

But do they last? Do they get cloudy over time? No way. Moissanites sit on 9.25 on the Moh’s scale of hardness compared to a Diamonds 10, meaning they are very hard and scratch resistant. Does this mean you can wield your ring like a hammer? Unfortunately no but it does mean that Moissanites are just as tough. They also remain clear as they are a gemstone in their own right, unlike CZ stones which are often made from much cheaper plastics. So with regular cleaning and maintenance, your Moissanite should last a lifetime.

This has been a huge concern for young couples who want to ensure their Engagement Ring has not come from a conflict region. As they are not mined, they have a low environmental footprint. With so much uncertainty around the world concerning the ethical treatment of miners and the impact mining is having on the environment its always reassuring to know these aren’t a concern when shopping for a Moissanite Engagement Ring.
