When the two gemstones are compared alone, Moissanites appear to be much cheaper than diamond, usually costing 85% less than mined diamonds.
Have you ever noticed that Moissanite wedding rings are less expensive? There is good reason for that. As Moissanite is grown in a laboratory, they do not have the usual cost of digging, shipping and the discovery of a common mineral diamond. So, the Moissanite rings and jewelry cost less per carat than a diamond engagement ring, yet they are a little better. This means a lot of bang for your money. Great glitter, small price tag.
However, that does not mean that you should expect all designs to be cheap automatically. You will need to consider the quality of the design, whether you are working on a custom piece, a metal band and any matching stones in your construction.
How Moissanites are better
Prospective brides often compare Moissanites with Diamonds because of their similarity in appearance and style. With two shiny gems, clear, natural, we will set the ratings below.
Price: As we covered above, when we compare the gemstones alone, Moissanites are much cheaper than diamond, usually costing 85% less than mined diamonds. That means that if you have a fixed budget, you can afford a very large Moissanite, which makes statements.
Moral Values: Moissanites have cause no conflict. Growing up in a lab, gems do not have the personal and natural concern of the diamonds mined (and any other mineral, in fact) You can also cut your local impact by purchasing a Moissanite created and designed locally in your country.
Beauty: We think both stones are equally beautiful (and we consider ourselves lovers of marriage). You will not lose the taste or style by lifting with Moissanite against Diamond. And if you want to be nerdy, the Moissanites actually get higher points than Diamonds on the turn scale, giving them more sparkle and shine than diamonds.
