Welcome to eMoissaniteRings.com
eMoissaniteRings.com is here to make sure you know what are economical and ethical alternatives to a diamond ring and to explain why many see it as a more honest symbol of showing your love.
So, let’s start with the question, “What are Moissanite Rings?”
Well they look like diamond rings but they have more fire, brilliance and luster. Moissanite is a clear gemstone composed of carbon and silicon (silicone carbide) that has a hardness that almost reaches that of diamond. They cannot be considered as a “fake diamond” because they are naturally occurring and were discovered by Henri Moissan back in 1893 who for a while thought they actually were diamonds. They can now be manufactured effectively and this is what is making them more popular as an economical alternative to diamonds.
So moissanite became an alternative to diamonds in jewelry and a host of antique, victorian, bridal engagement rings, bridal solitaire and wedding band products are being produced.
But you might wonder why anyone would find an alternative to a diamond ring. Moissanite is a whole lot more ethical as a product that would show you love to someone. Diamond mining has been exposed as a source of child labor and violence and the term “blood diamond” has sprung into the language.
If you are going to find a symbol of love that will last for generations then it seems wrong to build it upon something that has been created with pain. A moissanite ring as a gift will not suffer from this dreadful back story.
