The Difference Between Diamond And Moissanite Rings

There’s not a single person out there who would turn down truly amazing and beautiful jewelry were it free. Unfortunately, everything has its price, and this causes many people to look into unconventional areas to find good value. This is what led to the creation of white gold – effectively a cheaper way to get the platinum look.

The industry standard in rings has been and will be the diamond. While diamonds are amazingly beautiful and radiant, sometimes their costs are just too prohibitive. It’s times like these when it may be worthwhile to look into diamond substitutes.

Cubic zirconia and moissanite are the two leading candidates when it comes to non-diamond colorless gemstones. Unfortunately, CZ rings are somewhat cheap and gaudy. These rings also have a terrible reputation that go along with them.

Moissanite rings are relatively new, and many people do not even know that they exist. Since 1998, these beauties have gained increasing amounts of popularity for their colorless radiance and shine. Some even think they look better than diamonds do!

Unfortunately, moissanite can’t be found in nature. This means that all moissanite rings use synthetically created gemstones. If this would bother you, then you should definitely not consider getting one. Many have no problem with this, though.

Moissanite rings have many fans amongst gemologists who have studied them. They apparently exhibit higher luster, fire, and brilliance compared to diamonds. This means that they’ll look as good if not better at first glance.

Where moissanite rings really shine is price. Diamond rings of similar quality can cost two or three times as much as a moissanite one easily. This may mean having to settle for a smaller stone or one of lower clarity.

Diamond rings have a reputation and beauty that nothing on earth can ever equal. Yet moissanite is a truly brilliant substitute for this gem. Moissanite rings make excellent gifts due to their amazing brilliance and fire. No matter which you choose, you’re sure to be incredibly happy with your beautiful ring.
