5 Reasons Why You Should Choose Moissanite For Your Next Ring

  1. Ethical & Responsible Sourcing

Later generations are now beginning to realise we need to fight to protect our planet, and the need for ecologically sustainable and responsibly sourced stones has become clear. Natural moissanite is incredibly rare as it is only found in meteor craters, so moissanite on the market today is lab created. Moissanite requires no heavy mining which damages the earth as it is made in a controlled environment using the latest technology.

    2.  Value VS Price

Unfortunately, in 2023 getting married is a very expensive affair. Today's couples need to get the most value for their dollar and more and more people are turning to moissanite. Moissanite is significantly lower in price compared to diamonds of similar shape and dimensions, making them a perfect alternative to a diamond. 

  1. It’s Just as Strong as a Diamond

A gemstone’s hardness is measured using the Mohs scale or “resistance of a material to being scratched.”  On the Mohs scale, moissanite scores a 9.25, with the only other stone scoring higher is a diamond at 10. Moissanite is tough enough to stand up to general, everyday wear and when cared for, they can virtually last forever and be passed down from generation to generation.

  1. Fire and Brilliance

Moissanite has a higher dispersion rate than other gemstones. The dispersion rate measures how well a stone disperses light, and moissanite’s dispersion rate is over double that of a diamond, so you get more fire in the form of purple, red, blue, or green flares that look eye-catching with hints of rainbow colour.

  1. Amazing Diamond Alternative

Moissanite tests positive with a diamond tester, and is indistinguishable from a diamond to the naked eye. That means you can rock your bling with the confidence that no one can tell that your beautiful moissanite stone isn't a diamond. Ticking every box, moissanite easily measures up to diamonds, if not surpassing them in almost every way.
