Moissanite was originally from a star. Actually, the first bits of natural moissanite were found on an ancient meteorite. These were tiny crystals of silicon carbide. As Dr. Moissan found them, the moissanite was named after him. A century later, a process was developed to make larger crystals of moissanite, suitable for jewelry making.
This synthetic moissanite has since been cut like diamonds as a cheaper substitute for diamonds. Loved for its beauty and its affordable pricing, moissanite is a smart choice for the fashion savvy. Incidentally, moissanite is tougher than diamonds and is more brilliant, has a brighter fire than diamonds and a higher luster index.
Lately, I’ve been reading more and more about brides and their husbands-to-be choosing moissanite engagement rings over the typical diamond variety. Far more affordable than diamonds but even more sparkly and pretty much just as durable, moissanite is my kind of alternative.
Moissanite is a naturally occuring mineral. It definitely resembles a diamond, and holds up under pressure better than cubic zirconia.
I think it’s important to see moissanite for what it is. It’s it’s own stone, not a “fake diamond.” Purchasing a moissanite engagement ring isn’t about being cheap. It’s about being smart and loving the sparkle.
Moissanite is now regularly featured in national and international jewelry exhibitions and receives extensive coverage. Moreover, only selected authorized outlets sell moissanite jewelry, and a certificate of authenticity and lifetime warranty given by Charles & Colvard, Ltd. themselves.

Moissanite Jewelry Rings Provide Just the Right Touch
The Moissanite Ring looks like a diamond ring, it sparkles like a diamond ring and it endures like diamond ring but it is definitely not a diamond ring. How do you know it’s not a diamond ring? It’s priced like a moissanite ring. There is a buzz in the fashion industry about moissanite rings and jewelry and it’s getting around fast.
Moissanite is a mineral that was discovered over a century ago, but until a few years ago it was too rare to use as jewelry. Now, moissanite rings and jewelry are on the rise and not just because they’re a diamond “substitute.” Moissanite jewelry can actually be better looking than diamond jewelry because the stones have more “fire” and brilliance than diamonds. It’s a measurable, scientific fact. Some stones posing as diamond look-alikes, cubic zirconia for example, have some shine and sparkle, but none of them come close to the diamond, much less exceed it.
By far the biggest benefit of purchasing moissanite rings and jewelry is the cost. A three stone moissanite ring, equaling two carats will probably run right around $1000. A similar diamond ring will set you back over $5000. Investing in moissanite jewelry rings is just as safe as investing in diamonds. They are harder than any other gemstones; diamonds are the only ones still harder, and moissanite is barely behind, making them just as durable and very appropriate for everyday wear. Moissanite jewelry rings also carry lifetime warranties most of the time. And just like diamonds, moissanite holds its value.
Even though moissanite rings and jewelry are less expensive than diamonds, buying moissanite does not carry the “fake” diamond stigma, because of the high quality stones. More and more couples are choosing to purchase three stone moissanite rings instead of choosing diamonds when it comes time to make wedding decisions and celebrities like Vivica Fox, Kiko Elsworth, the members of (the former group) Destiny’s Child, and Marc Anthony are choosing to purchase and wear moissanite jewelry.
Before you purchase a moissanite ring, there are some things you will want to know. Just like diamonds, moissanite has varying color hues ranging from almost colorless to shades of green, sometimes even looking grey. Many consider this color very elegant and a green moissanite ring would be a great conversation starter but if you’re concerned about the color, be sure to examine your potential stones in varying types of light. The green hues are most visible in natural light so they might not show up under the bright lights at the jewelry store.
So when it comes time to spend some of your hard earned money on yourself and add some glitter to those hardworking hands, or if you’re looking for a special gift for a loved one, buying a moissanite ring might be the best choice you can make.

Moissanite Ring, With a Large Crystal On a Tight Budget
First discovered inside a meteor at the end of the nineteenth century, Moissanite crystals were thought of as far too rare and inaccessible to ever make suitable jewellery. However, since the 1990's, Moissanite has been created in laboratories, and has since become a very popular and widely-available gemstone. The reasons for its popularity stem in part from its affordability and its great resemblance to diamond. It has a shine and lustre comparable to any historical gem, and makes a great jewel in its own right. Many women appreciate the crystal for its brilliance, and Moissanite jewellery is now a very fashionable item to have.
Moissanite engagement rings are much less expensive than the traditional diamond ring, and they have a more durable surface than a cubic zirconia. Moissanite rings have a brilliance and fire that some people say is greater than a diamonds. Moissanite has a greater refraction than the diamond, and its natural colour means that it looks a lot more authentic than a cubic zirconia. It is in fact more expensive than the latter synthetic crystal, though some still feel that a Moissanite ring is simply another diamond replacement.
Moissanite engagement rings and Moissanite wedding bands are not fake diamonds at all, but instead a man-made crystal that resembles a diamond, both in natural hardness, and the lustre and fire of the jewel. People have come to feel that Moissanite rings are beautiful and attractive in their own right, as fashions change. A platinum Moissanite ring is popular with movie stars and supermodels alike and these classy pieces of jewellery look set to increase in value as they age.
Some may be worried that their fiancee will be expecting a diamond ring, and if they are not confident about buying a ring without their beloved's knowledge, then they can propose, and then discuss the type of ring with their fiancee afterwards. Most couples planning to get married find that it is a struggle to save for a wedding, and buying a Moissanite ring can cut the costs. It is possible to buy Moissanite engagement and wedding rings as a set, giving the bride fashionable and stylish jewellery without breaking the bank. As a way of providing a ring with a large crystal on a tight budget, Moissanite is a great buy and it is really like diamonds one of few things those last for ever and it is really a good choice to be your engagement gift .
