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. Check out their website for more www.iheartmoissanites.com.au

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.

I Heart Diamonds are leading the way for affordable, high quality Diamond Jewellery in Sydney. Both in store and online, they specialize in custom design and even have an option to build your ring online.

Which ever way a buyer chooses to go, shopping for a Diamond Jewellery is exciting and should be fun.

Thin Band Engagement Ring

 

We have had so many requests for the Thin Band Engagement Ring that we’ve had to write a little guide to buying them and the things you should have when choosing them. The Thin Band Engagement Ring is by far one of the most popular choices for young couples of recent years and while we absolutely love them, they need to be done right and with the consideration of longevity.

When we design a ring we consider a few things...

The thickness and width is a huge consideration. Gold is not a hard metal it does bend and warp very easily and because of this we tend to steer away from the super thin bands. Believe me you would only be calling us again after six months to tell us that the band is losing its shape.

With Diamonds set on a thin band there is no guarantee they won’t come loose if there is movement in the band. This is in fact the number one problem to consider with a thin band. Any band that has a thick set of stones on the band or in the crown should be given extra care. Most ladies would recognise based on their activities and how they wear their Jewellery if the thin band is right for them. While they may like the petite look and feel of these bands the reality is they require a great deal of care.

Below is a little explanation from:

https://www.sciencefocus.com/science/why-is-gold-called-a-heavy-metal-despite-being-soft/

Gold is called a heavy metal because of its high density, which comes from the fact that each of its atoms is individually very heavy.

Gold while heavy is also soft, so softin fact, that one gram of it can be beaten into a sheet covering nearly a square metre. Such sheets are used in the process of ‘gilding’. It is often forgotten of mistaken that because Diamonds are supper strong a ring should last just as long. While Diamonds are some of the hardest things on Earth, Gold is one of the softest. Gold is susceptible to scratches and dents with not a great deal of pressure and the little claws that hold the gemstones in place are usually the weakest.

With this in mind we try not to make rings that are too thin. Anything less than a 1.3mm wide by 1.3mm thick should be especially well looked after and not worn everyday. We always recommend taking off your Jewellery when you are doing anything that may tarnish or knock it around.

The Thin Band Engagement Ring is definitely a favourite and with the Hidden Halo trend we are seeing them everywhere. They are a great style for an Engagement Ring and can be worn with virtually any style wedding band.

Princess Lab Created Diamond

The Princess Cut Diamond continues to be one of the most purchased shape of Diamonds behind the Round and the Oval.

Most jewelry experts agree – the princess cut diamond found its roots back in the early 1960’s. A cutter in England named Arpad Nagy created the “profile” cut in 1961. This cut was commonly referred to as the princess cut at the time, and the name became the standard years later.

One of the remarkable characteristics for the princess cut (other than its sparkle and fire) is the amount of rough stone that it utilizes. A typical princess cut diamond uses up to 80% of the rough stone, which helps keep the cut priced lower than other lower percentage cuts. In general, a princess cut diamond will cost less than a comparable round brilliant.

Most would probably describe the princess cut as a square diamond. However, the shape of the cut is actually closer to an inverted pyramid. The cut utilizes 58 facets, which gives the princess diamond a good deal of shine.

A princess cut diamond won’t have quite the fire and brilliance as a similar round brilliant stone, but it still has plenty! If you are considering an alternative to the round brilliant that has the same type of quality look, the princess cut stone would be a great decision.

This cut works well in both solitaire or multi-stone engagement rings, stud earrings, tennis bracelets, necklaces, and more.

While it isn’t the most expensive of the shapes (the Round Brilliant holds that title) it is still quite an investment, so buyers are now turning to the Princess Lab Created Diamond as an alternative. We are seeing a huge rise in Diamond alternatives as buyers face the uncertainty of the past six months of 2020 and look ahead to what the economic impacts may be in the future. We have also seen the Diamond alternative trend take a great leap forward as buyers consider saving money now to be a better position ten to twenty years down the track.

When looking at an Engagement Ring or even multi stone Jewellery the Lab options with their more economically and socially conscious origins are looking great to buyers who consider these to be just as important as the price if not more. As an added bonus the Lab Created options can save sometimes up to 60% off the price of the naturally mined variety.

Moissanite Engagement Ring

We’ve come a long way in recent years in so many different ways when it comes to buying Diamonds and Engagement Rings. Young couples are profoundly more environmentally, socially and economically conscious than ever. With more of a concern over where Diamonds are mined and if they are sourced ethically or reducing the environmental impact of mining by choosing a lab created alternative we are seeing more an more of a down turn in genuine, naturally mined diamond sales.

Its no secret that major Diamond suppliers and retailers are feeling the shift. The decline in sales has been a long time coming and culminated finally with the advancement of the Lab created Diamond and the Moissanite. With major retailers more reluctant to stock or sell the alternatives they may be getting left behind in a market that is starting to struggle. The recent events of Covid19 only solidified the fact that buyers not only are looking for a more cost effective alternative but also an alternative that is more sustainable. A recent article in Forbes magazine by Tim Treadgold - https://www.forbes.com/sites/timtreadgold/2020/04/15/diamond-crash-just-dont-ask-how-bad-it-is/#610989cedd91

This trend has extended world wide too and even closer to home we are seeing Lab Created Diamond and Moissanite Engagement Rings in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane take a leap forward. Many young buyers from Australia have found themselves searching online and now in store as places like I Heart Moissanites become the first choice as opposed to buying over seas. With websites which allow you to build your own ring – www.iheartmoissanites.com.au and specialists that help you in custom designing your perfect ring the choice has become a simple one.

Moissanites have become a great option for buyers who have been effected economically but still want to purchase an Engagement Ring or Jewellery that looks and feels like a Diamond at a fraction 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.

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.

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.
