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. Where Australia
has traditionally been dominated heavily by genuine naturally mined Diamonds we
are now seeing a shift. Moissanite Jewellery in Australia has taken a huge leap
forward. With industry leaders like I Heart Moissanites – www.iheartmoissanites.com.au
bringing you a multitude of designs and custom options the choice for some has
been simple. If you are looking to buy Moissanites Sydney check out their Sydney
showroom or online store.
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.
