Shopping for an Engagement Ring can sometimes be a
daunting experience, especially if it’s a surprise and you’ve never purchased
Jewellery before. It can be even more stressful when looking to buy online. The
online shopping trend has steadily increased year on year with more and more
sales coming from online. Even everyday items like groceries have seen a major
increase via online shopping. Engagement Rings have been no different with
major retailers reporting strong online sales.
Unfortunately recent times have seen lots of
uncertainty both financially and socially with the effects of the global
pandemic. While many young couples before may have been looking at Natural
Diamonds, the effects of the pandemic are now seeing a huge rise in Diamond
Alternatives. What before was already a strong and growing market has now
become a first choice for a lot of buyers over the Natural Diamond.
Moissanites have become a leading alternative to
Natural Diamonds for most financially, socially and environmentally conscious
buyers.
When looking to buy a Moissanite Engagement Ring
Online many shoppers come across all the Moissanite Education, tips pages as
well as Moissanite Jewellers who can provide all the information to help narrow
down designs, sizes and shapes of Moissanite Engagement Rings. I Heart
Moissanites are a great place to start, with their website – www.iheartmoissanites.com.au having not only a huge amount of information but also
prices and designs. As a great Moissanite Jeweller in Sydney that caters to
clients all over Australia they also have a local showroom allowing buyers
looking for Moissanite Engagement Rings Sydney
to view their Moissanite Jewellery and designs first hand.
As many buyers discover there are quite a few benefits
to choosing a Diamond alternative and specifically a Moissanite. The price has
been a huge factor and the recent trend has shown buyers choosing Moissanites
due to the saving. Where a 1ct Round G colour and SI1 GIA certified Diamond can
cost upwards of $7000 AUD a Moissanite of a D Colour and VVS Clarity costs
approx. $450 - $500.
If the price wasn’t enough, the fact that Moissanites
like Lab Created Diamonds are grown and not mined means they have virtually no
environmental impact. Considering the effect that mining often has on the
environment, the Moissanite is a great alternative. With the ability to create
great colour and clarity making some Moissanite rival the sparkle and shine of
many Diamonds, the choice is sometimes an easy one. Moissanites are very
similar to Diamonds in look and feel. Moissanites sit quite high on the Mohs
scale of hardness…where Diamonds sit at a 10, Moissanites are a 9.25 ahead of
Sapphires, rubies and Emeralds.
Another benefit that most socially conscious buyers
hold in high regard is that Moissanites are 100% true conflict free. As they
are grown and not mined there is no issue trying to trace where they came from
and if they possibly could be from a conflict region.
There’s no doubt the way we shop has changed and there
is a huge movement to find more financially and sustainable alternatives. With
all the options and information, speaking to a qualified Jeweller who
specializes in Diamonds and Diamond Alternatives is a great place to start.
