Discover the Sparkle and Brilliance of Moissanite Engagement Rings

When it comes to engagement rings, moissanite stones are one of the shiniest and most brilliant options available. Moissanite engagement rings provide all of the sparkle and brilliance you'd expect in an engagement ring and they are a much more affordable option when compared to diamond rings. Moissanite engagement rings use sustainable lab-grown gems that are good for the environment.

Moissanite Rings Toronto

Moissanite stones were first discovered back in 1893 inside a meteor crater. As a result, they are extremely rare and difficult to find in nature. For this reason, a project was put into place to discover how to grow the same type of stones in a lab setting. After many years of trials and testing, moissanites were successfully duplicated in a lab setting, consisting of the same components as the ones found in nature.

Although they are grown in a lab, these gemstones are considered real. If you are looking for an affordable alternative to diamonds that will look just as beautiful, opt for a moissanite ring.

Moissanite Brilliance

Moissanite gemstones are often more brilliant than diamonds. The brilliance of a stone refers to its ability to reflect light. This is a great measurement to use when you want to determine how much a gem will sparkle. On the refractive index, moissanite comes in at 2.65 while a diamond has a listing of 2.42. Moissanite is able to reflect more white light than a diamond.

The index measures the amount of refraction, which is the amount of light that can be bent by the stones. Moissanite is able to bend light more than a diamond and with all of this light bouncing around the stone, moissanite engagement rings can sparkle intensely. If you're the type of person that wants as much sparkle as possible in your engagement ring, you'll find that moissanite provides a sparkling light show from all angles.

The Beauty of Moissanite - Coloured Sparkle

Not only does moissanite reflect white light, but it also has a dispersion rating that is higher than that of diamonds. This means that in addition to the white sparkle, you'll also see coloured sparkle on your moissanite ring. This beautifully coloured lightshow can also be referred to as "fire". Moissanite is well-known for its coloured brilliance, and when you take into account that moissanite is more affordably priced than many other gemstones, it's well worth your time to take a look at moissanite gems in person.

Never-Ending Moissanite Brilliance

You can expect moissanite rings to retain their brilliance for a lifetime. Moissanite stones will never get foggy or lose their brilliance, as evidenced by their high rating on the refractive index. Moissanite gemstones will stay bright and beautiful forever and you'll never have to look at an engagement ring that has become dull over time.

Of course, it's recommended that you get your moissanite stone cleaned regularly to keep it looking its best. Fortunately, there is some silicon found in moissanite, which means that it has a lower likelihood of attracting dirt and grease compared to diamonds. You won't have to clean the ring as often as you would many other gemstones and you'll still see a lot of sparkle after the ring has been cleaned.

Moissanite Colour

Moissanites are typically sold as yellow, colourless, or close to colourless. This will vary between stones. Many moissanites can be compared in colour to the K colour that is found in some diamonds. This K reading means that it has a yellow tone, which some people prefer. Many moissanites have the same colour as a diamond that has been given an E rating on the colour scale. This E rating means that it's almost colourless.

You can also find moissanite rings that are colourless. They are absolutely stunning as well. There is no right or wrong answer when it comes to choosing the colour of your moissanite stone since it all boils down to your own personal preference.

Moissanite Hardness

While moissanite is very hard, it is not as hard as a diamond. Diamonds are the hardest minerals in the world and have been given a score of 10 on the hardness scale. Moissanite stones register at 9.25 on the hardness scale. Moissanite is an incredibly hard and resilient gemstone, so you can count on a moissanite engagement ring to last for years.

Since moissanites are so hard, you can wear your moissanite engagement ring daily. This is an important factor to consider when you're choosing an engagement ring because you’ll be planning on wearing it forever. You will be more prone to lose your engagement ring if you are frequently taking it on and off.

Moissanite stones are even more resistant to breaking and chipping than diamonds. If a diamond is accidentally struck by something hard, it can chip off in the crystal growth direction. This is commonly known as cleaving. This doesn’t happen to moissanite because it has an indistinct cleavage pattern. While it is still possible to chip a moissanite, it's highly likely that it won't suffer from a large break.
