The introduction of moissanite in the jewelry industry as a close alternative to diamond has come with a great impact. Speaking while unveiling their moissaniteCo jewelry, a MoissaniteCo representative said, "Moissanite is now an affordable trusted gem for making all kinds of jewelry products." This has been a major milestone in this industry that has heavily relied on diamonds for many years!
Today, jewelry lovers have more than one option to consider for their jewelry gemstone. Top among these options is moissanite, which has become a favorite for making engagement rings, necklaces, bracelets and many more. According to MoissaniteCo, "Making custom jewelry pieces is on the rise, thanks to the various sizes and shapes of moissanite." Therefore, the gemstone market is now wide open.
The Rising Demand for Moissanite
Diamond commanded a huge preference for many years. However, the discovery of moissanite has changed many things. Since it is still a scarce gem, diamonds come at a huge cost. For that reason, many people shy away from it. So, "Why should I buy moissanite?" Answering this question, MoissaniteCo had the following to say:
Moissanite Is Lab-Grown And Affordable
Gemstones are quite expensive and therefore, the search for affordable solutions has been ongoing.
According to MoissaniteCo, "We invested in lab-grown moissanite to provide cheap diamond alternatives to meet the demand for diamond-like jewelry." Whereas natural moissanite is hard to find, lab-grown moissanite has provided a reliable and sustainable cost-effective solution.
Even though moissanite is not diamond, many people cannot tell unless someone informs them. From their experience working with moissanite, MoissaniteCo highlighted the close resemblance between diamond and moissanite saying that the latter is a game changer for those working with a tight budget.
Moissanite Has Great Fire, Brilliance And Color
The beauty of moissanite is unmatched owing to its great fire and brilliance. Lab-grown moissanite has a higher refractive index than that of a diamond and therefore has more fire and brilliance than diamonds. Therefore, buyers have the beauty and color they need in a gemstone for their jewelry.
The ability of moissanite to reflect white light off its surface is responsible for its beauty and shine. Diamonds are known to shine but moissanite guarantees buyers even a better shine. For that reason, this is enough for anyone looking to buy custom-made moissanite jewelry and engagement rings.
On this issue of color, MoissaniteCo reported that they had improved the original yellowish-green moissanite to a better quality compared to colorless diamonds. The company said that people are looking for quality at an affordable price. This is what moissanite guarantees to every jewelry lover.
The Strength And Durability Of Moissanite Match That Of A Diamond
Custom-made jewelry and engagement rings need strong and reliable gems for longevity. As a result, moissanite has become a great choice looking at its strength. On the Mohs scale of hardness, MoissaniteCo reported that their moissanite hardness value ranges between 9.25 and 9.50. This is close to a diamond's score of 10. For that reason, it was easy for the company to work with moissanite for their jewelry.
Owing to this amazing property, it is unlikely that moissanite will scratch easily. Therefore, companies like MoissaniteCo consider this gem a lasting solution for making quality jewelry. For that reason, jewelry lovers have nothing to worry about the strength and durability of moissanite for their jewelry.
Important Notice - Moissanite Is Not A Diamond
According to MoissaniteCo, "There is no doubt about the value and quality of moissanite in the jewelry industry. However, it is important to know that moissanite is not a diamond." The company reiterated that Moissanite is silicon carbide whereas diamond is pure carbon hence the difference. For that reason, buyers cannot buy moissanite and pass it off as a diamond. However, moissanite provides value for money. Most importantly, it is a great choice for diamond-like properties.
