SAVE ON THIS DIAMOND ALTERNATIVE

Moissanite. It's a game changer.

Have you ever looked at diamond rings or earrings and fallen in love until you saw the price tag? Yep, I am definitely with you there. Diamonds are so expensive! And although there are other coloured stones out there that are beautiful also, they just don't compare to the look of a diamond.

So what's all the craze about moissanite? Moissanite is a natural occurring mineral in the earth, yet is extremely rare. Thanks to modern day technology and years of trial and error, lab grown moissanites have been created. This beautiful jewel scores close to the diamond on Mohs Scale of Hardness coming in at 9.25. In regards to it's sparkle, it has a higher refractive index than diamonds meaning it sparkles even more! And although you may be questioning if it simply looks 'fake', let me assure you it certainly does not.

So why buy a moissanite over a diamond?

Moissanite is significantly cheaper. You may be able to get a 1 carat colourless moissanite for $600; yet a nearly colourless, 1 carat diamond will cost around $5000! Why not save some money or better yet spend the same amount and buy a bigger moissanite stone! There is certainly no compromise in choosing this jewel over a diamond.

So, next time you are looking at engagement rings or a new pair of diamond earrings, remember this stunning jewel.

In the meantime, have a browse at a Sydney based and family run company who sell moissanite jewellery called 'Moi Moi Fine Jewellery'. This is where I ordered my new ring and could not be happier!
