One of the most historic representations of wealth, diamond jewellery has been a long-time frontrunner in terms of its reputation for luxurious elegance. Many jewellery lovers covet the shine, but with the desire ending at the price tag, alternative stones have been used to create this same brilliance. Moissanite, a leader in diamond alternatives, offers a more affordable entry point and brings significant assets to the accessory-laden table.
The price difference between these two sparkly stones varies depending on whether or not you’re comparing lab-grown and natural diamonds. Thanks to the rarity of natural Moissanites in the mined world, the majority of Moissanite in jewellery is lab-grown. The average difference between this intricate gem and a natural diamond is approximately 90% less expensive. Meanwhile, lab-grown diamonds narrow the price gap, although they are still priced at 3-10 times the cost of natural diamonds. The price of Moissanite increases with the size of the stone, whereas diamonds can vary in terms of their carat size and quality.
As either the children of parents who were obsessed with Breakfast at Tiffany’s (or the parents who held the obsession), affordable diamond jewellery has remained high on our lists of wants for as long as we can remember. As the price (both morally and financially) seems to stretch further ahead of what we’re willing to go, diamond alternative necklaces are becoming a higher interest point in the jewellery world. Interest in the differences of these stones is increasing as accessory lovers grapple with where their priorities sit.
Diamonds are one of the most influential stones of modern society, for which they send their regards through several clever marketing campaigns. From diamond engagement rings to elegant diamond drop earrings, these pieces aren’t escaping from popularity anytime soon. Whilst the brilliant, sparkling look is one that’s adored across Australia, we’re nothing if not passionate about sustainability, meaning that the ethical choice of Moissanite is gaining popularity.
Premium pieces mean premium quality, and that’s precisely what the knowledgeable customers of today are looking for. With luxurious Moissanite jewellery, such as our 2mm Moissanite Diamond Eternity band, available, these popular diamond alternatives are selling quickly. One of the most popular bands in our collection, our eternity band features a raised set of Moissanite gemstones carefully set within the band to showcase their shine. The ring is lightweight, making it comfortable for daily wear, yet durable enough to withstand wherever you take it.
When you’re looking for a sparkling piece, the right one to opt for is a matter of reflecting on your current wardrobe, as well as all the occasions you want your pieces to shine truly. For a standout pair of earrings, our Solitaire Moissanite Stud Earrings are the perfect blend of everyday simplicity and over-the-top shine, creating an elegant look that will withstand any event you bring them to.
Both statement diamond jewellery and statement Moissonate jewellery stand out, all thanks to their stunning hues of varied shine. Diamond jewellery boasts an incredibly classic, white shine, while Moissanite is known for its fiery sparkle and rainbow-like finishes. They each provide a distinctive sparkle to your accessory collection, and are both relatively matched in terms of durability. Diamond’s rank is slightly higher, but for day-to-day usage, they’re indistinguishable.
For each piece of jewellery, choosing the perfect size is a crucial factor in determining both comfort and style. With our entire range of necklaces and bracelets, from our diamond-inspired to our leading Original Single Letter Initial necklace, we allow for 5cm of variability in terms of extra chain length, which guarantees your perfect size every time.
The key to styling a standout piece of jewellery is to utilise it as the standout anchor point it is, or lean wholly into the visual interest that the stone can bring and piggyback off it for a variety of different textures and colours.
For those more understated occasions, a minimalist Initial Letter Dot Ring is a beautiful way to integrate some of your personality with an otherwise bold piece of jewellery, helping to showcase the sparkling stone with all of its glory. Our initial pieces are incredibly popular, and incorporating personal touches into daily stacks is a stunning way to showcase your true identity. For layered looks, play with adding colour into your stack via the popular pathway of our Emerald necklace range.
Silver Moissanite jewellery and silver diamond jewellery bring out the cool tones in each jewellery stack, which gives them a modern edge
Gold Moissanite jewellery and gold diamond jewellery help to attract warm light to the pieces, and maintain a vintage feel for the pieces
Adding a birthstone bracelet is a stunning way to bring some more colour into your look, whilst also letting you embrace the metaphysical powers of your jewellery
Whether you’re on the hunt for genuine diamond jewellery or a Moissanite alternative, the price and quality of the stunning stones make opting for a Moissanite piece a perfect place to start. With their unique attributes, a jeweller needs to have experience working with rare stones, which our artisans take pride in.
Came and Stone diamond jewellery and Camile and Stone Moissanite jewellery are two incredibly popular ways our brand showcases its genuine love of shine and sparkle. The intentional detail and quality of our products, combined with our ability to create custom Moissanite jewellery, make us the option you can trust in the Australian market.
When it comes to the difference between the price points of Moissanite and Diamond, there are a wide variety of considerations to take into account before making your decision. With the price variance and quality equivalence of Moissanite to diamond, opting for the fiery diamond alternative is becoming an increasingly more popular choice.
