Moissanite Engagement Rings Read to ship
There are many gemstones available to us for making jewellery. If you are looking for gemstones that appear similar to diamonds but are not actually diamonds then moissanite engagement rings are something that you could opt for. Moissanites are gemstones that are often referred to as diamond simulants since they look like diamonds. They are a rare mineral made of silicon carbide that was first discovered by a French Chemist Henri Moissan in 1893. They are crystalline structures that are found in nature in very small quantities. In spite of this, they are very commonly used as a part of fine jewellery because they are extremely durable and beautiful. Only a trained eye will be able to tell the difference between a diamond and a moissanite. There are some minute differences that set a diamond apart from a moissanite. Even though the diamonds and moissanites that are available in the market today are colourless, they tend to possess a very subtle shade of colour. Moissanites generally have a yellowish or greenish tint to it, which is not usually visible thanks to the manufacturers who have perfected the creation of colourless moissanites. Both diamonds and moissanites are brilliant sparkling stones but if you compare the two then you will notice that moissanites are more brilliant than diamonds. They sparkle more because moissanites are double refractive. When you rotate the moissanite stone they will sparkle with a rainbow like effect while the diamond when rotated tends to reflect more of white light. Moissanites are the second hardest substance known to man and are extremely durable which makes them ideal for an engagement ring. Their similarity to diamonds is quite striking and their affordability makes them the perfect alternative to diamonds. A wide range of moissanite engagement rings are available at Flawless Fine Jewellery. Come and select one of your choice when you visit us at Hatton Garden, London. Read more
