What are the advantages of choosing a moissanite ring over a diamond?

You may have heard of moissanite but are not quite ready to make the switch over from more traditional gemstones. We are here to convince you. Just take a look at the advantages of choosing a moissanite ring over a diamond one.

• Affordability: Moissanite is significantly more affordable than diamonds, this allows you to get a larger high-quality stone for a lot less of your budget.
• Brilliance: This diamond alternative has a higher refractive index than traditional diamonds, meaning that it reflects more light and sparkles more intensely.
• Ethical choice: It’s created in a lab, which means that moissanite is more sustainable and an ethical choice avoiding the environmental and social issues associated with diamond mining.
• Durable: Although not as hard as diamonds, moissanite comes a close second. This means it is still durable and suitable for daily wear.

Can I personalise a moissanite ring with engravings?

Yes, you can with our creative customisation options. This allows you to add a touch of individuality to your moissanite ring. With our engraving service, you can have your moissanite ring engraved with a short message, symbol, or name to make it a truly personal piece. 

How are moissanite rings priced compared to diamond rings?

One of the main advantages of choosing moissanite rings over diamond rings is that they are much more affordable. The price difference is mainly down to the rarity and natural formation of diamonds, which makes it a much more expensive stone due to the mining process, limited supply, and high demand. 

Moissanite, on the other hand, is a lab-created gemstone, which means it can be produced at a lower cost, making it more budget-friendly. This affordability is why it is a popular choice for if you’re looking for a dazzling ring without the premium cost of diamonds.

Secondly, moissanite outperforms diamonds in terms of brilliance or sparkle due to its higher refractive index. Thirdly, moissanite is much more affordable than diamonds, offering a similar look at a fraction of the price. So, if you’re after a durable, dazzling engagement ring without the high cost of diamonds, moissanite rings are a fantastic alternative.

Well, the truth is, moissanite is even more dazzling than diamonds. With a higher refractive index, moissanite reflects light in a way that creates a brilliant shine.

Just like with any engagement ring, diamond, emerald or any other gemstone, moissanite pairs perfectly with a wedding band.
