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.

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.
