Solitaire Moissanite Engagement Ring

 

There has been a lot of talk surrounding Moissanite Engagement Rings with many buyers looking at and in a lot of cases preferring natural Diamond alternatives. Its hard to ignore that for many… times have been challenging and with current situations around the world, priorities have shifted.

Many young couples who are still wanting to celebrate an Engagement have been weighing up what they consider to be important during recent months.

The recent pandemic has had a devastating effect on many economies, businesses and families. It is no wonder that while many couples are still getting engaged they are spending their money more cautiously. The Moissanite has been amongst the most popular alternative not only because they are ethically sourced and environmentally conscious but also now more than ever because of the price.

Moissanites can save you up to 90% in some cases and considering the massive fluctuation in the economy and the US / AUD dollar that can make a huge impact on budget. With Gold prices rising, choosing a Moissanite that is very close in comparison to mined Diamonds can save buyers thousands. Buyers can even enjoy a larger Moissanite or a better setting for less than what they would spend with a mined Diamond. Check out the team at I Heart Moissanites who are leading the way for Moissanite Engagement Rings www.iheartmoissanites.com.au with a website that allows you to build your ring online from their huge collection or a custom design they are a great place to start your search.

Besides the benefit of the price difference, Moissanites are a 9.5 on the Moh’s scale of hardness. This is close to the same position as natural Diamonds and due to fact that they are grown in a lab Moissanites can be produced in better colour and clarity that many natural diamonds are found in. This means when shopping for a Moissanite Engagement Ring and especially a Solitaire Moissanite Engagement Ring the brighter and clearer Moissanite wont cost the thousands you would expect to pay for a mined Diamond or even a Lab Grown Diamond.

Moissanites are both ethically sourced and have a far better impact on the environment and are now considered to be icing on the cake for many who are turning away from naturally mined diamonds for the same reason. As Moissanites are grown and not mined there is very little impact on the environment. While mined Diamonds have come a long way with the help of the Kimberly process to ensure they are ethically mined there are still certain parts of the world which unfortunately still engage in unethical practices. Moissanites have the advantage of both being ethically sourced and environmentally conscious as they are grown and their origins can be traced.

With such a great alternative to mined Diamonds that are 100% ethically sourced and at a better price point there is no wonder buyers are gravitating to Moissanites.

Best Quality Moissanite Rings in your hands

 

Moissanite rings have been gaining in popularity immensely in recent years due to the advancements regarding the quality of Moissanites and the techniques behind manufacturing and cutting. The cost of Diamonds has also become a huge factor with an Engagement Ring being the third highest purchase for couples behind a house and car. Even the Lab Grown Diamonds are still commanding a huge price in the marketplace with an average of only a 20% saving on the like for like cost compared with a genuine Diamond. This could be why young couples have chosen the Moissanite over the Genuine Diamond and Lab Grown Diamond. With many young couples today juggling a mortgage and kids, spending has been reined in for the Engagement Ring and spent more on the wedding with the hope of upgrading the ring when they are in a financially better position.

Moissanites are just as easy to work with as Diamonds are. They are extremely strong and heat resistant meaning they are durable and considered great for everyday wear. It also means they can be fashioned into any quality metal such as Gold and Platinum or even paired with Genuine Diamonds.

The other great fact is that they are completely ethically sourced as they are lab grown it means they are 100% ecofriendly. For ladies who like to know exactly how their Jewellery is made and where it comes from Moissanites offer an alternative to Diamonds which could come from questionable origins.

Another factor which should be consider when looking at a Moissanite Ring is the manufacturer. Jewellers who can produce good colour and quality Moissanites are a must and if looking to create a custom design its always ideal to work with a Jeweller that has the experience of producing and working with Moissanites. I Heart Moissanites are a great option with a showroom in Sydney and a website which lets you build your own ring from their huge collection.

Again, a Moissanite Ring is a great option due to production and cutting techniques vastly improving in recent years, making top graded Moissanites very similar to Diamonds. They both share top spots on the Moh’s scale in terms of hardness and they both have a similar dispersion rate meaning they outshine most other gems. Some Moissanites however do appear cloudy and on the yellow side if they aren’t the best quality, so shopping with a reputable brand that shows off their product is a must. Especially with any item that requires more than one Moissanite or a cluster together, you want to ensure that the stones are of great colour and clarity as they are a pair, it can be noticeable if some are of a lower colour grade than the others in the setting.

While any Moissanite Jewellery including a Moissanite Ring is still an investment it’s also wise to consider guarantees and insurance. Some Jewellers offer better guarantees than others and while the cost may not be as high as a Genuine Diamond it is still a price that should come with peace of mind. Look for Jewellers and manufactures that guarantee their Moissanites and Jewellery. Some even offer insurance which often because the cost is significantly lower than the Diamond option is only a small add on to the price.

Diamond Jewellery Sydney

 

There are so many options when looking to purchase Diamond Jewellery, whether it be online or in person at a local Jeweller. Each option has it’s appeal to everyone. Some buyers like the option of walking into a store and viewing something in person or getting to speak to a Jeweller first hand about their ideas. Others like the convenience and often discounted price that can be associated with online shopping.

There is no doubt however that online shopping has become even more popular even for such a high priced and important purchase. Whether you are searching for Diamond Jewellery Sydney or New York, often online retailers are able to ship world wide which is a huge advantage for shoppers all over the world. The only consideration with purchasing Diamond Engagement Rings and Diamond Jewellery is the shipping and custom charges. Sometimes it can be more cost effective to purchase locally and sometimes the charges can be unexpected.

The usual place to start when shopping for Diamond Jewellery is often the budget and after a little research or learning about the difference in Diamond grades you’re set to start comparing. It’s important to consider what attributes are important to you and what sacrifices you are willing to make to purchase according to price. For example two Diamonds may be of similar price but one is a higher colour grade and lower clarity. For some shapes colour is more important, for others it can be sacrificed as clarity is more important. Size is probably the biggest factor when looking at price and usually Diamonds in the half carat and full carat sizes for example 1ct and 1.5ct will cost significantly more than Diamonds just under a smidge of the full or half size.

After deciding on what type of Diamond you would like for your Jewellery the next important decision is the setting. Looking at Engagement Rings, there are many types of settings to choose from. Solitaire Engagement Rings have been the most popular choice for decades and are still among the most purchased. The Diamond Band and Halo Engagement Ring have also been hugely popular and have also evolved to include more elaborate designs and small Diamond setting.

The best way to determine what works with your ideal shape is to check on designs with the same Diamond shape or ask a qualified Jeweller what the options may be. There are certain settings which work better than others with certain shapes.

The last choice couples face is whether to purchase a design created by a specific Jeweller or to opt for a custom design. The great thing about online retailers now is their ability to cater to clients looking to create a custom design.
