WHAT DO YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MOISSANITE EARRINGS?

Artificial or diamond earrings might be your go-to option when you think of adorning earrings. However, there is a reason why oftentimes, people opt for neither of them. Artificial earrings might be budget-friendly, but they can harm your skin. Diamond earrings might suit your skin, but they come with budgetary restraints. On the other hand, moissanite earrings from Diamondrensu give you the best of both worlds. Wear a pair of your moissanite earrings and rock that diamond glow without worrying about your purse.


Made of silicon carbide, moissanite earrings are the next best thing compared to diamond earrings. Named after Dr. Henry Moissan, the French chemist who discovered the mineral in the late nineteenth century, moissanite is often used as a substitute for diamond, even though it sparkles brightly on its own. Natural moissanite is found in tiny crystals, but due to its rarity, it is generally manufactured in laboratories and used in the form of accessories, such as earrings, rings, and pendants.

What are the Inclusions of Moissanite Diamonds?

A diamond’s clarity is one of its most essential factors, as they make or break its selling point, and the clarity of a diamond depends on its inclusion. Inclusions are crystals present inside a stone – usually little white, dark, or black spots – that are visible in a diamond. When materials such as minerals or gasses get stuck inside a stone during its formation, they give rise to inclusions. They are tiny imperfections formed under extreme heat and pressure at the time of a diamond’s creation.


As compared to moissanite, diamonds have a high rate of inclusions because they are formed naturally. On the other hand, moissanite’s inclusions are rarely visible because it is usually manufactured in a lab. Moissanite’s inclusions cannot be seen by the naked eye and are only visible under 10x magnification. The higher the inclusion rate, the lower the clarity.


According to the Gemological Institute of America’s (GIA) diamond grading scale, a diamond’s clarity has five types of classifications:


  • Flawless (F) or Internally Flawless (IF): Flawless diamonds contain no inclusions that can be seen under 10x magnification. Internally flawless diamonds’ inclusions are not visible under 10x magnitude but have slight blemishes.

  • Very, Very Slightly Included: Categorized as VVS1 or VVS2, very, very slightly included diamonds have minor inclusions that are hard to notice even under 10x magnification.

 

  • Very Slightly Included: Very slightly (VS1 or VS2) included diamonds contain slight inclusions.

 

  • Slight Inclusions: Diamonds with tiny inclusions (SI1 or SI2) can be easily spotted under 10x magnification and, in some cases, are also visible to the naked eye.

 

  • Included: Included diamonds (I1, I2, or I3) are instantly visible to the naked eye as well under 10x magnification.

 

Since moissanite is not high on the inclusion scale, it usually falls under the VVS or VS categories, giving it exceptional clarity.


 

Different Types of Inclusions in Moissanite Diamonds

Inclusions are the key to differentiating between various moissanite stones. There are multiple kinds of inclusions, such as:


Needles: Needle is the most common moissanite inclusion. Named after their needle-esque appearance, needles can only be seen under 10x magnification. However, if needles are present in a cluster-like formation, they may appear on a moissanite’s surface and affect its clarity.


Feathers: Feather inclusions resemble a slight crack in a moissanite stone. Even though they resemble a crack, their presence does not necessarily mean the stone is broken since moissanite is incredibly durable. However, too many feathers or crack-like features can diminish a moissanite’s clarity and, in some cases, cause it to break.


Chips: Chip inclusions cause small openings on a moissanite’s surface. An extreme blow to a moissanite stone can tear its surface and result in a chip inclusion.


Cavity: A moissanite stone with a cavity inclusion has immensely weak clarity, as cavity inclusions are colorless and, thus, more visible to an unaided eye.


Crystals: Crystal inclusions are white or black and are noticeable to the naked eye. They are also visible when looked at under 10x magnification.


Knots: A knot inclusion causes damage to a moissanite stone’s surface and formation.


Graining: If a moissanite stone is underdeveloped during its formation, its crystal is not formed correctly, leading to light-colored grains on its surface, known as graining inclusions.


Cloud: A cloud inclusion is unclear or translucent spots inside a moissanite stone.

The Durability of Moissanite Diamonds

A factor that has contributed to the rising popularity of moissanite is its durability. Moissanite diamond is a sturdy stone, making it a reliable and go-to stone for various kinds of jewelry, such as earrings, lockets, and rings. When shopping for diamonds or wearing one, you are always worried about accidentally damaging them. Dropping your diamond earrings can cause irreparable damage, which is a heavy loss to bear financially and fashion-wise. Diamonds do not come cheap, which makes the fear of losing or dropping them even more prominent, and this is where moissanite diamonds come in. 


Even though diamonds are hard, they are not unbreakable, which is why your best option is a moissanite stone. A moissanite diamond’s hardness can easily match a diamond’s. It is resistant to scratches and wear and tear, which makes it a timeless stone. Additionally, unlike other lab-manufactured stones that lose their color in due time, a moissanite stone’s color does not fade away. You could wear a moissanite diamond for a day, a month, a year, or a decade, but its sparkle and luster will remain as bright as the day you first set your eyes on it. Its durability makes a moissanite diamond the perfect gift, a wedding ring or band. There is nothing that compares to the beauty and elegance of a moissanite diamond – more so when it falls well within your budget.


According to the Mohs hardness scale, moissanite’s hardness is a solid (pun intended) 9.25, which is very high. The higher a stone ranks on the scale, the sturdier it is. Since a moissanite’s sturdiness is 9.25, it is an excellent accessory choice for formal or everyday use. Its hardness prevents it from breaking, chipping, and fading. Whether the temperature is hot enough to make you feel or cold enough to turn you into an icicle, you can stay assured that your moissanite diamond will remain brand new in extreme heat, cold, or rain.


One thing you will notice when looking for moissanite earrings is that they often have more than one stone in the same earring. Stacking diamonds together with natural diamonds is risky due to their price. However, since moissanite offers high durability, placing two or more moissanite diamonds in a single earring adds to its beauty without any risks. While a moissanite diamond is not cheap, it is certainly more reasonable than natural diamonds, so you do not have to shovel your way through your price range to accommodate them.

Colors of Moissanite Diamonds

Wear a pair of earrings that complement your dress as though they came together in a set. The outfit you pull out of your wardrobe depends on the event you RSVP’d yes for, and it is only fitting that you should have a pair of earrings to wear with it. Moissanite’s durability and composition make it the perfect stone to carve into different shapes and looks, from chic to sophisticated or elegant to bold.


A moissanite’s diamond dispersion properties make it look colorless, with a tinge of yellow or grey. The visibility of a moissanite’s color depends on its size. The bigger the stone, the more visible its color will be. For instance, a round moissanite diamond looks extremely white when exposed to light. In comparison, an oval and square moissanite diamond looks a bit translucent. If you pick a sparkly moissanite stone, its light dispersion quality will make its color stand out from the rest.


You can find a moissanite diamond in various colors. A moissanite stone’s yellow or grey, and sometimes even green, tinge glows in the light, making your moissanite earrings the best jewelry item to dangle from your ears. With a moissanite diamond, you receive the same sparkle and color a diamond would offer. The only difference, however, is that a moissanite diamond is lighter on your bank wallet.
