Reasons to Choose Moissanite

Durability of Moissanite

Durability is an essential matter when considering the correct gemstone. It is a piece of jewelry meant to last a lifetime, after all. Out of 10, moissanite is 9.25 on the Mohs Hardness Scale. Auspiciously, moissanite is the second firmest gemstone on earth and is more resilient and scrape resistant than other prevalent gemstones like rubies, emeralds, or sapphires.

The chemical formula used for moissanite is silicon carbide. Metal cutting saws and bulletproof vests also use the silicon carbide formula. Many people use moissanite saws to slice or cut other materials. Because of such toughness, a moissanite stone will withstand the turbulence of daily wear and the accidental smashing or infrequent rounded force.

Budget-Friendly Moissanite

Moissanite is more inexpensive than diamonds because it is formed in a lab. Rather than going through numerous hands and ceaseless red tape, it is produced on-demand in the precise amount, value, and place. If you compare options like a 3-claw pear-cut solitaire 0.50 ct moissanite with a 3-claw solitaire pear-cut 0.50 ct lab formed diamond, you will notice the difference in the cost is mindboggling.

If you know the right place, it is not hard to find moissanite with minor surface scratches and a good polish. The bright luster of a diamond will be intact in moissanite as well. When you pay for loose moissanite stones, you should keep a clear eye because moissanite with waning color or shine is never worth it. The focal point should be to find high-quality moissanite for a reasonable value.

Only because you are buying moissanite as a substitute for a diamond does not necessarily mean you have to go for the cheapest option.

The Diamond-Like Dazzle

Because of the soap scum and dirt, diamonds eventually become dull and lusterless. But the soap scum and dirt slowly tone down the moissanite. As a result of the toning down, a diamond-like effect appears on it. So the more you use moissanite, the better it gets. Many people are unaware of the secret trick. Another reason to buy loose moissanite diamonds is only the experts can notice the difference between a moissanite and a diamond.

On the contrary, most people perceive moissanite to be a diamond because a view from the top will give you a glimpse of two lines indicating a double reflection. As a result, moissanite sparkles more than diamond. Also, there has to be a balance between the size of the stone and the price range because the larger the stone, the more light it shall catch. It is an efficient way of creating the sparkling effect of the diamond, but people who are well-learned about gemstones will notice the difference immediately.

But if the size of the stone is moderate, it will keep even the well-learned guessing because one needs a moissanite tester to confirm the difference. The arresting surface of moissanite radiates fiery, rainbow blazes that brightness in the light.

Most people appreciate the rainbow-like color blazing quality.
