An Expert's Comprehensive Guide To Choosing The Perfect Moissanite

There are many reasons to choose Moissanite over other gemstones. Moissanite is unique in its properties and advantages. Moissanite is harder than diamonds, yet it is still very scratch resistant. It is second only to diamonds in terms of hardness. This makes it an ideal choice for an engagement ring, as it will withstand the wear and tear of everyday life.

Being one of the rarest minerals found in nature, and due to the fact that it was discovered in a meteorite, Moissanite is referred to as a “gemstone born from the stars”, and is valued for its tenacious brilliance. Moissanite exudes a stunning fire and brilliance ie. sparkle over the long term. In fact, it has more fire, lustre and brilliance than that of diamonds, which means that it will sparkle and shine more and feature that desirable and beautiful sparkle loved by so many women. So, if you are looking for an engagement ring that is beautiful, durable, and affordable, then moissanite is the perfect choice for you! It gives the same look, feel and beauty as the more well-known but extremely highly-priced diamonds but at a fraction of the cost.

Overall Moissanite is a great choice for those who are looking for a unique, modern engagement ring that will last for the long term at an affordable price.

A gemstone cutter follows a specific set of instructions to turn a rough moissanite into a polished, shining gem. Every detail, from the facets to the angles and proportions, must be in balance to make sure the moissanite works optimally with light. It's more science than art.

Although diamonds come in all shapes and sizes, certain odd-shaped stones can be difficult to work with. In some cases, tiny compromises in the cut of a diamond are necessary. On the other hand, moissanites are laboratory-grown, which means that their cut grade should always be excellent. If a moissanite has been poorly cut and polished, it will look dull and bland. size, clarity and colour don’t matter in this case.

At Forever Chic Jewellery, our Moissanite (Forever LUXE Moissanite™), is hand cut by our skilled gem cutters to ideal hearts and arrows standards, delivering superior brilliance, fire and intense sparkle. All our Moissanite rings come in triple excellent cut grade and quality.

Moissanite is graded on the same colour scale as diamonds, from D (colourless) to Z (prominently yellow or brown). The intensity of the colour tint increases slightly as you move down the scale.

To simplify things “white” moissanite is often bundled into two colour categories;

Colourless: D-E-F colours.

Near Colourless: G-H-I colours.

Although both categories look beautifully white in a Moissanite engagement ring, you will be able to spot the colour difference when you compare them side by side.

There's a small price difference between diamonds that are "nearly colorless" and those that are "colorless." The latter option is more expensive, but not exorbitantly so. It's a matter of personal preference as to which shade you choose. Personally, I prefer the colorless diamonds for their purity and presence.

Diamond Vs Moissanite: If you’d like to pass your moissanite off as a diamond, just know a 1,00ct D colour VVS-clarity diamond can easily bully you out at about AUD $7000-8000+.

Our Forever Chic Jewellery signature Moissanite, is exclusively created in the top D (diamond-white) colour range for unmatched beauty and striking detail not found in other Moissanite brands.
