Custom Moissanite Engagement Rings

 

The Moissanite is slowly gaining traction and if you haven’t heard of them yet…get ready because you should be hearing a lot more of them soon.

What is a Moissanite? A little googling will probably answer a bunch of questions and raise a few more. The simple answer is, they are a gemstone and a really good Diamond alternative. So why all the hype? Well… we should mention they are a fraction of the price ( around 10% the cost of a Diamond if not less ) They sparkle just as much in fact some sparkle a hell of a lot more considering a lot of Diamonds aren’t of a higher colour, clarity and cut like the Moissanite is produced in. They are also just as durable sitting at around the 9.5 mark on the Mohs scale of hardness next to the Diamond at 10.

Because Moissanites are grown in controlled environments using advanced technology, moissanites require absolutely no mining to produce. Their origins are therefore traceable and entirely eco friendly.

Compared with natural gemstones,  moissanites have a much smaller carbon footprint and result in less environmental impact. Fine jewelry made with moissanites and eco friendly metals meets the very highest environmental standards.

Moissanites are now becoming one of the most purchased Diamond alternatives and in some cases the first choice. We can see from recent trends that even prior to the Covid 19 huge power houses like De Beers has seen major declines in natural Diamond sales, even as much as 35%.

Australia is now starting to catch up in this trend which is quickly becoming mainstream.

Mens Tungsten Rings

 

Men’s Tungsten Rings have been a popular choice for Men’s Wedding Rings for some time and even more so recently with the constant increase in Gold prices. A fun fact is that Tungsten has the highest melting point of all metals at an astounding 6,191.6 degrees Fahrenheit. This makes Tungsten a durable metal due largely to its hardness. While a Diamond rates a 10 on the Moh’s scale of hardness… Tungsten comes in at a 9, and it’salso approximately 2 and a half times harder than titanium and cobalt chrome.

With many couples looking for alternatives for not only metal but design and style…Tungsten seems to be in the forefront with it’s durability, price point and colour options.

So, what else makes Tungsten the go to choose for Men’s Wedding Rings? Simply it is the most scratch resistant metal known to man. This makes it perfect for Men who have heavy handed jobs in construction or building. It is also affordable, making it sometimes a better option when comparing the same style Ring in Gold or Platinum which do scratch easily. They also have a good weight to them… the average Men’s Tungsten Ring weighs between 10 – 12 grams. This can sometimes be 4 – 6 grams heavier than the same Ring made in Gold.

With many couples looking for alternatives for not only metal but design and style…Tungsten seems to be in the forefront with it’s durability, price point and colour options. Check out www.iheartmoissanites.com.au for a great variety of Tungsten Rings.

A great feature of Tungsten Rings is that they don’t bend out of shape due to their hardness, so where many Gold bands can lose their shape over time if made too thin Tungsten will remain the same. Even if set with inlay of stones compared with a Diamond and Gold band where movement can cause stones to come loose. Tungsten’s are not indestructible however. They will break if enough shock or pressure is applied to them.The best news is that It is hypoallergenic. People with allergies to gold jewelry can wear tungsten jewelry. Tungsten wedding bands come in a natural gun metal grey colour, but can be plated black, blue, or even gold colours.
