Moissanite was discovered during the latter part of the
nineteenth century by Dr Henri Moissan. It is only in recent
years, however, that the replica diamond has become widely
available. This crystal is very similar to a diamond, being
nearly as hard, and yet also much more brilliance and lustre
than the diamond. Moissanite is one of the most realistic
substitutes for a diamond around, and its hard surface makes it
scratch resistant, more so than cubic zirconia. A Moissanite
wedding ring looks as good as a diamond ring, but costs as
little as one tenth of the price of a diamond.

Moissanite is made from silicon and carbon, and this makes
Moissanite wedding sets have similar physical properties to a
true diamond. Testing with a traditional diamond tester shows
that Moissanite resembles a diamond

Moissanite wedding rings do not fad or gain colour with age, and
they also come with a lifetime warranty; in fact, Moissanite
rings are becoming the symbols of smart, fashionable women
everywhere. The glistening sparkle of the ring, which often has
more fire or brilliance than a real diamond, means that many
women fall in love with the stunning rings. Women don't get
Moissanite wedding bands instead of a diamond ring: they buy the
jewel because of its quality and fashionable status. In
addition, gem collectors are becoming interested in the man-made
crystal because of its fire and brilliance, and durability. A
Moissanite ring is therefore likely to increase in value with
age. As Moissanite is a near colourless crystal, it has a much
more authentic look than diamond substitutes such as cubic
zirconia. Since completely colourless diamonds are very rare,
this hint of colour in a Moissanite jewel makes it look totally
natural. This colour also makes the crystal less likely to fade
or become discoloured through time, so a wedding ring made of
Moissanite will keep its shine and value for as long as a
diamond.

Moissanite wedding sets are a fashionable and cost-effective
alternative to diamond rings, and the crystals are an attractive
adornment by themselves. A platinum Moissanite ring is something
which a bride can treasure forever, knowing that the jewel will
be as scratch resistant and hard-wearing as a diamond. The
quality of Moissanite makes it a perfect symbol of lasting love
and loyalty, and an ideal wedding ring. And always remember that
when diamond is out of your budget, Moissanite will be always
there for you.
