If you are in search of an alternative to a diamond or engagement ring, you may consider moissanite - a gemstone that closely resembles a diamond. Moissanite contains more brilliance and sparkle than a diamond. It is hard to tell the difference between a moissanite and diamond as the distinctions are not easily visible to the naked untrained eye, and it appears almost identical.

Diamonds are not the only gemstones that last forever, moissanites are everlasting too. Moissanite is the only gemstone with the next closest hardness to diamond at a scale of 9.0 - 9.25 Mohs, which also means that moissanites will pass the diamond test. Similarly to diamonds, moissanites are equally resistant to scratches, making it fit for daily wear and the most practical choice for engagement rings.

WHAT IS A MOISSANITE?

This rare gemstone fell from the sky – literally. It was originally discovered in a meteorite that had crashed many years ago. Due to its brilliance, strength and diamond-like properties, it was recreated in labs using the mineral's composition. Moissanite is a conflict-free affordable alternative to diamonds. As lab-grown gemstones, they have minimal impact on the environment. The best part is that it’s almost identical to mined diamond. Due to its hardness, it is also more durable than other popular gemstones such as sapphire, ruby and emerald.

ARE MOISSANITES 100% CONFLICT-FREE?

Moissanites are growing in popularity among eco-conscious diamond purchasers as it is conflict-free and environmentally-friendly. Consumers today are mindful of tainted issues surrounding the diamond mining industry. Conflict diamonds (blood diamonds) are unsustainable and harms both environment and society which has also resulted in forced child labour, unsafe labour practices and environmental disruption around the world.

Princess Gem strongly believes in social responsibility and advocates sustainable, ethical gemstones only. Moissanite is lab grown and so has nowhere near the same carbon footprint or human impact as mining does.

With these advances in technology and a growing desire for more sustainable options, Princess Gem moissanite is the perfect engagement ring type for the ethically conscious.
