Moissanite Engagement Rings

Moissanite sparkles like crazy! A gemstone in its own right, moissanite is made of silicon carbide, whereas diamonds (both lab-grown and mined) are composed of carbon. Their distinct composition means that each type of gemstone has its own unique properties and sparkle. That said, the nuances may be hard to perceive to the untrained eye. For example, moissanite engagement rings are known for their color flash, especially in direct sunlight. The facets of a moissanite actually refract more color than those of a diamond. 

Platinum or gold moissanite engagement rings are heirloom quality and made to last. Because moissanite is such a hard gemstone (9.25 on Moh’s scale–the second hardest gemstone behind diamond), it doesn’t scratch and scuff the way that softer gemstones and other diamond alternatives do. It’s also less likely to fall out of a piece of jewelry. With proper care and maintenance, moissanite engagement rings can be passed down for generations and enjoyed for years to come.

Choosing a moissanite center stone is a great way to get the most sparkle for your money. It costs a fraction of what a mined diamond would cost, and is substantially less expensive than a lab-grown diamond, as well. If you are looking for maximum sparkle and the best value–without cutting any corners–moissanite engagement rings are a fantastic choice.

Moissanite was discovered in nature (in the crater of a meteor!), but moissanite that is sold on the market today is created. That means that compared to a mined diamond, it has a smaller carbon footprint and completely avoids the negative environmental and ethical effects of destructive mining operations. Although the scientific process of creating moissanite is different from the process of creating a lab-grown diamond, both are made instead of mined, which means that when you shop at Taylor Custom Rings, you have two stunning options for a mine-free center stone that you can feel great about. Choose from recycled platinum or gold moissanite engagement rings, and your new ring will require no new mining!
