Moissanite, initially mistaken for diamond, is now a popular choice for engagement rings due to its affordability, durability, and brilliance. Discovered by Henri Moissan in 1893 within a meteorite, this gemstone is now lab-created due to its natural rarity.&#xA0;Moissanite, the second hardest gemstone after diamond, scores 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs Hardness Scale, making it resistant to scratches and suitable for daily wear.
Its brilliance surpasses that of diamonds, reflecting more light and offering a captivating sparkle. Available in colorless and near-colorless grades, moissanite provides a clear, icy appearance. Its clarity is nearly flawless, and it can be crafted into various cuts and shapes.&#xA0;Although lighter than diamonds (about 10% less carat weight), moissanite&apos;s size is expressed in millimeters and diamond equivalent weight (DEW).
Moissanite is also more environmentally friendly than mined diamonds, as it is lab-created with minimal environmental impact. Its popularity has surged, making it a recognized alternative to mined diamonds for engagement rings, offering longevity and beauty comparable to diamonds.Inquire about using a moissanite in any of our engagement ring designs at <a href="mailto:sales@kenanddanadesign.com">sales@kenanddanadesign.com</a>. &#xA0;

Because moissanites are quite hard and durable, as well as exhibiting great clarity and color, they're an excellent choice for engagement rings.
