If there is one thing that is true it is that not all Jewellery is created equal. Each Gemstone has a different character and each Jeweller has a specific flair. Choosing something that is not only right for you but something that will stand up for its design and durability or at the very least its name is so important.

Diamonds have been around forever and Lab Grown Diamonds are now making a big play in the high end market but so too are Moissanites. Much like Lab Grown Diamonds they are made and not mined so straight away they become a socially and environmentally friendly choice. Also like their Lab Diamond cousin are they more cost effective than naturally mined Diamonds, however Moissanites boast an even greater saving. In many cases Lab Diamonds easily cost 50 – 60% less than a naturally mined like for like Diamond, while Moissanites cost less than 10% the price.

Moissanites have been and continue to be a great choice for Engagement Rings and for Jewellery in general. They not only have a higher refractive index than a Diamond…meaning more sparkle but they are also up there in durability making them suitable for everyday wear. Moissanites unlike Cubic Zirconia’s don’t change colour, with the proper care and cleaning a Moissanite will not loose that shine no matter how old it is.

While Moissanites have been around for quite some time… there have been more recent advancements in production and cutting techniques, elevating the look and feel of these alternatives. Moissanites have continued to grow in popularity and are now making their way to more and more places around the world.

We know that Diamond alternatives are on the rise and we also know that the majority of young couples are now making more socially, environmentally and financially sustainable choices. This was even more clear with the recent impacts of COVID 19. We saw a massive industry shift where for the first time in decades major Diamond powerhouses were having to lower prices at a rapid rate to clear stock. The global crisis brought to the forefront what it meant for these large chains who were so stock heavy in a market that was not buying.

These effects will be felt for years to come and while young couples steer clear of the major investment that behind a house and car is the third biggest purchase in their lives, we are seeing them choose Diamond alternatives and leave a little more in their pockets.

Moissanites and Moissanite Jewellery is however still an investment so its recommended to go with a reputable Jeweller. Check for reviews and also their social media. The huge advantage of social media is you get to see first hand their creations and interactions with their clients.

 

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 Bracelets are Here

We know Diamond alternatives are on the rise, we even have recent confirmations from the Diamond powerhouse De Beers reporting a lull in sales in recent years. They reported a 39% decrease in sales in 2019 compared with 2018.

So why are buyers searching for a Diamond alternative and why are they drawn to Moissanites? There are quite a few reasons in fact and they all make sense when comparing them side by side.

The main reason and one of the most important ones is the price tag. Moissanites are significantly less expensive than the same size, colour and clarity in a natural Diamond. When buyers are adding up the cost, it’s no wonder that the price is a huge draw card. Comparing one of the most popular choice for an Engagement Ring…the Round Brilliant, we see prices for a GIA certified G colour and SI1 Clarity in an Excellent cut natural Diamond exceeding $8000 Australian dollars. The same in a Moissanite is $400 - $600. With a saving of thousands its an easy choice for most who still want the brilliance of a Diamond yet want to save money.

To lend to the price, the fact that they are very similar in both look and feel is another benefit for buyers when considering these Diamond alternatives. Moissanites are a 9.25 on the Moh’s scale of hardness, which is slightly below a natural Diamonds 10. When considering a Ruby and Sapphire are 9 and an Emerald is a 7.5 the Moissanite is great comparison.

If the price and the fact that they are incredibly similar isn’t enough to convince, the impact they have on the environment compared with naturally mined Diamonds usually is. Moissanites aren’t mined and therefore are completely ethically sourced and conflict free. This has such a huge appeal to young couples who are both environmentally and socially conscious of the way natural Diamonds are mined and produced.

Moissanite Jewellery has been an affordable alternative to genuine and even lab created Diamonds as the cost for Jewellery featuring multiple Diamonds can be quite expensive. The most popular purchases for Moissanite Jewellery besides the Engagement Ring in recent years has been the Tennis Bracelet and the Eternity Ring. Both the Bracelet and Eternity Ring feature a row of Diamonds ideally with the same colour, clarity and size. Depending on the Diamond characteristics they can cost well into the thousands or even tens of thousands. As Moissanites are only a fraction of the price buyers can enjoy paying less and still receiving an item of great quality with a Diamond alternative.

So its no wonder that buyers are considering Moissanite Bracelets and even Moissanite Earrings and Eternity Rings simply because of the cost of buying multiple stones to complete the item.

It is important to note that just like Diamonds, not all Moissanites are the same. They are available in different grades in terms of colour and clarity so choosing a Jeweller that specialises in Moissanite and Moissanite Jewellery is essential.
