Diamond Engagement Rings are normally what one selects when one decides to ask their true love to marry them…and of course Diamonds are the traditional gift for the 10^th and 16^th anniversary. Diamonds are brilliant, elegant, breathtaking, and I would venture to say we all would want one too!

However, what happens when you just can’t afford a fabulous diamond ring? What happens if you have to choose between a diamond ring, a down payment on your home, that once in a lifetime honeymoon, or wedding? What do you do, beg, borrow, steal, go into debt, or do you look at alternatives?

I believe that as a company that offers engagement rings, and other fine quality jewelry, that we should offer our customer’s alternatives.

So, the question I pose…is Moissanite a Man’s best friend? Why, let’s face it we would all love to have a beautiful high quality Genuine Diamond Ring, not a clarity enhanced diamond, or one with a lot of flaws, etc…

But as I mentioned above can everyone afford to purchase a Diamond of their dreams? On top of that you have the wedding, the wedding bands, the photographer, the gowns, the flowers, your home, oh yes and the honeymoon too! So, an alternative could be Moissanite or Moissanite and Diamonds together.

I have sold many Moissanite and Diamond engagement rings and I have to say they are absolutely beautiful. If you are on a budget, or would just prefer an affordable alternative to a Diamond Engagement Ring, or any Diamond Jewelry, Moissanite is a viable alternative.

My favorite is the Round Moissanite and Diamonds together, the center large stone is Moissanite and the accent stones are Genuine Diamonds...just beautiful. However, Moissanite by itself or with Sapphires, Emeralds, Rubies, or other Gemstones are beautiful too…

Here is some Moissanite Information:

Refractive Index (brilliance) = 2.65 – 2.69 – Moissanite is brilliant and sparkles

Dispersion (fire) = 0.104 – Moissanite has more fire than other popular gemstones

Hardness (on Mohs scale) – 9 ¼ - Moissanite is harder than ruby or sapphire, and second only in hardness to diamond. Moissanite is resistant to scratches and abrasions

In addition, each Charles & Colvard Moissanite Jewel comes with the Charles & Colvard Certificate of Authenticity & Limited Lifetime Warranty.

If you have a chance, take a look at Moissanite or Moissanite and Diamonds together and see what you think.
