Beauty, Affordability and Durability- Moissanite By Charles & Colvard
Moissanite stones look almost identical to diamonds but are a fraction of the cost. Moissanite is constructed from the chemical, silicon carbide, which has the same chemical composition as the crystal-like substance found only inside meteorites.
Moissanite has a more luminous refractive index, more brilliant fire dispersion and greater specific gravity than a mined diamond. A diamond on the Mohs Hardness Scale rates at 10. Moissanite’s hardness is just a fraction lower than a diamond but more than rubies, sapphires, emeralds and even cubic zirconias. You can find a beautiful selection of Moissanite solitaire rings online. These range from $499 for a one-half to one-carat Moissanite ring, all the way to a 6.68-carat Moissanite solitaire ring for $4,500. When comparing a diamond’s price with the price of a Moissanite, Moissanite wins hands down.
Take this example:
A 1.00 round, very good cut, I color, VS1 clarity diamond would run for around $4,565. A 1.0 carat Certified Moissanite would cost $735. That is a savings of $3,830! Only a jeweler will be able to tell the difference, and even then, only with a jeweler’s loop!
When young couples look at the high cost of mined diamonds, averaging out at $3,500 per engagement ring, most choose the Moissanite stone for their engagement rings. Moissanite rings will last for a lifetime and even beyond. They make excellent heirlooms to pass down from generation to generation. Before purchasing a diamond, take a look at Moissanite for beauty, affordability and durability.

I am obsessed with moissanite! I have a few pieces, including a moissanite 3 stone ring I wear on my left hand, and I get tons of compliments. There is just something so special about the warmth of the sparkle of moissanite, one look and you will fall in love with it too! The next thing on my wish list is a bezel set bracelet. And my wedding anniversary is next week…..

A fantastic alternative to diamonds, isn’t it? Diamonds are so expensive, they are politically problematic, and I’ve read that they aren’t even rare and therefore ridiculously overpriced.

These Moissanite rings are so pretty and elegant. The amount you can save on them instead of a diamond is a lot of money. No one could tell their not a real diamond. This would be a ring I would pass down to my family as they are very durable and last a long time. thanks for the info on these rings

There are very pretty not to mention more affordable to buying diamonds. I don’t really wear jewelry but if I did I would want one of these.
