There is no denying that Moissanite Engagement Rings
are on the rise. With many young couples searching for Diamond alternatives and
putting a lot of research into the best alternative there is no wonder there
has been a major increase in Moissanite and Lab Grown Diamond sales.
In recent surveys put forward to buyers on the hunt
for Engagement Rings many turned their attentions towards the Moissanite
Engagement Ring. 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. When considering how
Gold prices fluctuate based on the performance of the dollar and the cost of
Diamonds when the dollar drops 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.
We couldn’t not mention the fact that they are 100%
ethically sourced as they as lab created their origins can be traced. 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.
So where should you buy your Moissanite Engagement
Ring from? Its always important to consider buying from a reputable Jeweller.
Someone that has a great deal of knowledge regarding Moissanites as well as
Jewellery and someone who has a strong social media presence so you can see
other designs or recently completed items Choosing a Jeweller who has a
guarantee and a warranty policy is a must.
