Moissanite is one of those stones we just can’t get over. A lot of couples will choose moissanite as the center stone of their rings because it’s a budget-friendly stone that resembles a diamond without the same steep markup. But we’d argue it can be even better than the classic gemstone!

Moissanite has an almost rainbow-like brilliance to it when the light hits it, making it stand out beautifully on your engagement ring. Needless to say, if you’d love for your bling to make a statement, moissanite is an incredible option.

Moissanite is also an extremely durable stone. It ranks 9.25–9.5 on the Mohs hardness scale, which makes it sturdier than both sapphires and rubies (two very durable gemstones).

Another reason to choose moissanite? In our guide to moissanite vs. the classic diamond, we talk more in detail about price, but essentially, you can expect to pay 4X less for moissanite (such a steal, right?!).

Moissanite diamonds are available in all types of rings, like moissanite anniversary rings, promise moissanite rings, and moissanite wedding rings, and you can buy them online from Lucid Gem Studio.
