10 Styles of Moissanite Engagement Rings
When shopping for engagement rings, there are several types of gemstones to consider besides the traditional diamond. The stones in moissanite engagement rings have a different type of brilliance than a diamond because there are different faceting patterns for each stone. Natural moissanite is rare because it is a naturally occurring mineral found in meteors. Stones of this type for rings are created in a laboratory and they are composed of silicon carbide. The man made stones are a diamond simulant and are almost as tough as the real thing. The stones are as just as beautiful as diamonds but they are far less expensive. These glittering stones are becoming a popular choice for many couples.
