What to Look for in a Moissanite Engagement Ring?

Moissanite engagement rings are becoming increasingly popular and going head-to-head with the most in-demand gemstones in the market. Their demand is unsurprising, though, considering their brilliance and beauty. If buying a moissanite engagement ring is on your mind, here is a comprehensive list of things to consider to decide which ring suits you best.

The 4 C’s

In the world of gemstones, four major C’s characterize every stone: color, cut, carat, and clarity, and the same rules apply to moissanite.

Color: Moissanite engagement rings usually come in three colors: colorless, near-colorless, or colorless, with hues of colors. The color of moissanite is mainly colorless due to its chemical composition and properties. You can find near-colored moissanite engagement rings if you want neither colored nor colorless stones. As for the final category, moissanite rings in color are unique because they reflect tinges of yellow, green, or grey, unlike other gemstones.

Cut: Moissanite’s cut does not mean its shape. Instead, it refers to the stone’s composition, proportions, and symmetrical or asymmetrical design. A gemstone’s cut determines its refractive index, light dispersion, and brilliance. There are various cuts available for moissanite rings, such as rose, oval, pear, etc.

Carat: Unlike diamond, which you buy based on weight, moissanite is purchased according to its size. Regardless of the size, moissanite is always lighter than a diamond. For instance, if a diamond and moissanite measure 6.5 mm, the diamond would weigh 1 carat, whereas the moissanite stone would weigh 0.93 carat.

Clarity: Moissanite’s inclusions determine its clarity. Small white or dark spots inside a gemstone give it slight imperfections that might be visible on its surface. The higher the inclusions, the less clarity. Moissanite stones have the least inclusions because they are manufactured in laboratories. Out of the five types of inclusions (flawless; very, very slightly included; very slightly included; slight inclusions; and included), moissanite’s clarity is always under very, very slightly included.

Metal Band

When looking for colored moissanite rings, pick a metal band that accommodates your taste and requirements. Primarily, there are three types of metal bands: gold, silver, and platinum, available in various colors, such as white, yellow, rose, and platinum. So, buy an engagement ring with a metal band according to your preference and style!

Your Budget

With a moissanite ring, price is never an issue. Compared to diamonds and other popular gemstones, moissanite is very reasonable. Its affordability is one of its most appealing factors, as it offers you gorgeous rings, with the elegance and grace of traditional gemstones, at a pocket-friendly rate.

Durability

Moissanite is ranked as one of the most durable gemstones in hardness. The Mohs hardness scale shows that moissanite’s hardness is 9.25 on the scale, making it extremely sturdy. Wear a moissanite fancy engagement ring without worrying about your ring breaking, scratching, or damaging.

How to Care for Your Moissanite Ring?

As durable as moissanite is, you can never be too sure when it comes to taking care of it. Your engagement ring is a reminder of the beginning of one of the most memorable and important chapters of your life and will accompany you for the rest. Without proper care, moissanite rings’ color might fade, or the ring might chip or break. Taking care of your moissanite is quite simple if you remember the following tips:

Cleaning Your Ring

To clean your moissanite ring:

  1. Fill a mug with warm water and add soap.
  2. Soak your ring in soapy water and gently rub it with a toothbrush, soft bristles, or a soft cloth.
  3. Ensure you thoroughly clean every corner of your ring, including the band, center stone, side stones (if any), and prongs.
  4. After cleaning your ring, use a dry cloth to wipe your ring and remove any leftover soap.

Be careful when buying soap for your ring, as detergents or cleaners often contain harsh chemicals that might damage your ring. Consult a jeweler to learn about non-toxic soaps designed for moissanite rings.

Household Chores or Running Errands

Understandably, you might not want to part ways with your engagement ring, even for a minute. However, your engagement ring, despite its durability, is not immune to chipping and scratching. Even though light chores will not damage your ring, carrying out heavy activities, such as lifting, might put extra pressure on your ring, breaking or scratching it.

Showering or doing dishes will not harm your ring. However, removing your engagement ring is advisable if you are in the mood to swim because pool water contains chlorine, hypochlorite, and sodium chloride, which can corrode fancy coloured moissanite engagement rings. 

Storing Your Engagement Ring

If you remove your ring while doing heavy exercises, household chores, or swimming, keep it in a safe place you can easily remember, such as a jewelry box.
