Cost is the primary reason why many couple chooses moissanite over diamond. The best part is that you will have the ring of your dreams and no one can spot the difference!

There are other stones like cubic zirconia which is comparatively cheaper than diamond. But what makes moissanite special is that it rates higher on the Mohs hardness scale with 9.25 whereas CZ is 9. Moreover moissanite has more brilliance than CZ. Above all, moissanite in not a fake diamond but a mineral that looks similar to a diamond. What more, it is even more brilliant than a diamond and if you choose a cut with multiple points of refraction, people just can’t take their eyes off the engagement ring.

Some of the features of moissanite are that it varies in color a bit from grayish to a greenish tone. It is always better to investigate the ring under a variety of lights before making a purchase. The cost of the stone would be lesser than the diamond but higher than cubic zirconia for its quality. Due to its increasing popularity, most of the online jewelry stores offer a wide variety of moissanite engagement ring designs. They are also available as loose stone so that you can use them on a custom design engagement ring.
