Moissanite Engagement Rings: Info and Inspiration

by in — Updated July 2, 2015

There are many diamond alternatives, moissanite becoming an increasingly popular choice. As I’ve seen many moissanite beauties around the web lately, I wanted to gather a bit of info and inspiration on these stones for you. Firstly, most moissanite (silicon carbide) is lab grown today (it is a rare find and was originally discovered in 1893 in a meteor crater in Arizona by the French chemist Henri Moissan). Because it is lab grown, it is more eco-friendly than mined stones, and is also much more affordable. It is important to note that moissanite is not colorless, but often gives off a slight yellow or greenish hue, but it has great sparkle and can actually be more brilliant than a diamond! So to sum it up, moissanite is less money, more sparkle, better for the environment. Here are a few of my favorites, and all of these just happen to be from Etsy shops, because supporting small businesses is yet another bonus!
