Why Should You Choose Moissanite?
The purchase of Moissanite may be justified by the fact that this material allows for the creation of a beautiful diamond-like engagement ring at a lower price. Optical properties, toughness, and affordability make Moissanite an interesting substitute to diamond jewelry.
The most notable feature of Moissanite is sparkle and fire. The dispersion of Moissanite is high enough that it produces impressive flashes of rainbow colors. Refractive properties of Moissanite create an extraordinary optical effect. Appearance of a moissanite stone depends on various factors such as the cut, proportion, lighting, and viewing angle.
Moissanite is distinguished by its tough nature. With the hardness of approximately 9.25 on Mohs scale, it resists scratches well and may be recommended for frequent use. Although the diamond is much harder, moissanite is still a great choice for an engagement ring. With proper maintenance, it will remain beautiful for many years.
Yet another advantage of buying moissanite stones is the low price of the material. Moissanite generally costs less than the comparable diamond, which increases your freedom in choosing the stone's size or designing an engagement ring. Final price depends on the size, shape, color, cut, and quality of the gemstone.
Gemstone called Moissanite is usually manufactured in laboratory rather than mined. Moissanite is another lab-created gemstone option to consider alongside lab grown diamonds. Together with unusual sparkle and toughness, it is one of the reasons why moissanite is used for jewelry making.

How to Choose a Loose Moissanite Stone
In addition to choosing the weight of a moissanite stone, other factors also play an essential role in creating the look of the chosen stone. Think about the shape of the stone which will fit your preferences and style better. There are such shapes as round and oval which are quite classic for engagement rings, and there are other interesting shapes, including emerald, cushion, pear, and marquise.
It is necessary to think about the size and carat weight of the chosen gemstone too. In simple words, carat weight refers to the weight of the gemstone, and the dimensions refer to the actual measurements of the gemstone. You should take both carats and dimensions into account when choosing among moissanite stones because each option will have a certain size.
When choosing a moissanite stone, pay attention to the color and the overall look of the gemstone. You may face the problem of choosing a stone of a different color; therefore, you should pick the right stone based on your preferences and the color of the metal you are going to use for jewelry.
It is worth thinking about the light reflection of a moissanite stone. Cut and proportion affect the way the stone will reflect light. Look through the details of a chosen product and compare specific stones instead of only taking their carat weight into account.
Think about your budget and the engagement ring design you like. Think about how much money you are willing to spend on a center stone and what type of engagement ring design you would like to create. You can purchase a loose moissanite stone or select a stone to make a unique design of an engagement ring.
