Are you looking out for the best quality rings for your loved one but are running low on budget? You must have a look at the moissanite rings and try your hands on them. These rings look like diamonds and offer a long-lasting finish for a long time.

Are you considering buying a Moissanite engagement ring and want to know what to look for? You’re not alone in this. Moissanite engagement rings are common among today’s couples because of their beauty, affordability, and long-term durability. There are, however, a few caveats to making it right. Continue reading to find out what you can look for in a Moissanite engagement ring.

Is Moissanite a real diamond?

5 mm Moissanite is a separate gemstone. Moissanite sparkles differently than Diamond, has a different hardness and a different chemical composition. Moissanite is carbon silicate and has much more colored sparkle (“fire”) than a Diamond. It is a 9.25 on the hardness scale (Diamond is a 10) and is a 9.25 on the hardness scale (Diamond is a 10). (whereas Diamond is pure carbon). This means that the Moissanite is more immune to dirt and oil than a diamond!

Moissanite is also a man-made gemstone, which means it can be cut into any size or shape. Natural diamonds are limited in size and form by the Earth’s capacity to generate them. As a result, choosing affordable 6mm Moissanite as the center stone for your engagement ring gives you a lot of options. Moissanite is also extremely environmentally friendly; no mining is needed!

Does the quality of Moissanite depend on the grade?

Yeah, indeed. When Moissanite was first introduced, technology had just developed to the point of manufacturing yellowish-green stones. This Moissanite is known as the “classic” Moissanite, and it is still available (watch out!). Since the public needed a successful diamond replacement, gemmologists started to experiment in the hunt for colorless Moissanite.

They had a breakthrough in 2015! In addition to “classic” Moissanite, Charles and Colvard now provide colorless and near-colorless Moissanite. Colorless Moissanite has the appearance of an E color diamond, while near-colorless Moissanite has the appearance of an H color diamond. These newer Moissanite engagement ring choices are breathtaking.

Is it sustainable?

What about the side stones, I believe, is something that many people overlook when buying a Moissanite engagement ring. Did you make sure your ring’s side stones were lab-made or Moissanite if you selected a Moissanite center stone for sustainability? Is the metal able to be recycled? If you want to make sure your ring is super sustainable, make sure the whole ring is sustainably sourced, not just the Moissanite.

For obvious reasons, classic Moissanite (the yellowish-green variety) had no resale market. On resale sites, however, “gently used” colorless and near-colorless Moissanite is becoming more common. (Of course, there would be initial depreciation, as with other fine jewelry and automobiles.) As a result, it appears that a colorless Moissanite aftermarket is forming.

Why do couples prefer Moissanite?

Not if you appreciate Moissanite for what it is rather than what it isn’t. Couples who prefer Moissanite because they like the super-firey look of it or because it is extremely durable would adore their Moissanite for the rest of their lives. Those who buy Moissanite solely to try to pass it off as a Diamond, on the other hand, may wish they had the Diamond in the long run.

While they appear to be somewhat close, there are visual differences that can be seen with the naked eye, so we don’t recommend trying to pass it off as a diamond. Furthermore, we believe Moissanite has its own set of bragging rights! There’s no shame in telling anyone you chose a gem that’s more brilliant than Diamond because it’s super-sustainable!

What is the difference between colored and colorless Moissanite?

Colorless and near-colorless Moissanite, on the other hand, resembles Diamond. Moissanite is also the only gemstone (aside from Diamond) that passes a regular handheld diamond point tester. However, in most brilliant-cut stones, Moissanite’s intense fire (its dispersion is twice that of Diamond!) gives it away.

Conclusion

Moissanite has distinctive fire and facet doubling when viewed from the foot. So, if you’re trying to figure out whether someone has a Moissanite or a diamond ring, switch the ring around and pay attention to the sparkle. Is there a balance of white and colored light in it? Is there a lot of glistening colored light? Moissanite is a kind of stone that has a lot of fire. Another way to say this is to look down the side facets of the stone to the culet (the bottom point). You don’t have a diamond if the culet seems to be doubled.
