Moissanite Engagement Rings

What is a Moissanite Engagement Ring?

First things first, before we begin discussing what a Moissanite Engagement Ring really is?, let’s set the stage by quickly acquainting you with this sparkly gemstone.

In its simplest terms, Moissanite is a natural or lab-created gemstone that is chemically composed of silicon carbide. To no surprise, it was initially confused for a Diamond (thanks to the uncanny resemblance). In terms of appearance, Moissanite is generally off-white with an eye-striking brilliance and fire. What you’ll find most surprising is that, though this gemstone imitates the appearance of a conventional Diamond, it is much more brilliant than a Diamond (2.5 times if we speak of the precise stats).

Everything said and done, let’s come back to the key question here and introduce you to engagement rings fashioned with this phenomenal gemstone (and in the process, get you all the more excited to buy Moissanite Engagement Rings online). 

A Moissanite Engagement Ring is the ultimate token of love and commitment that is exchanged between couples to propose marriage. If we speak of its design in a generic sense, it is characterized by a dominant Centerpiece of Moissanite (about 6 MM in size) that is effortlessly mounted in a metal band. To emphasize its visual appeal and cater to many senses of style, it is fashioned in several designs right from Simple Moissanite Engagement Ring Styles like Solitaire to more extravagant ones like a halo, three-stone, vintage, Celtic knot, etc.

We understand if you can’t wait to pop the question with them but are still wondering “Where to buy Moissanite Engagement Rings that are nothing short of perfect?" Well, the good news is- Rosec Jewels has just what you’ve been looking for! Fashioned in a fusion of styles that are timeless, trendy, and everything in between, we carry a range of Moissanite Gold Engagement Rings that are sure to speak to all kinds of couples.

Our Eye-Catching Styles of Moissanite Engagement Rings 

• Simple Solitaire Ring

  A Moissanite Solitaire Engagement Ring is defined by a Sparkling Centerpiece of Moissanite that is meant to stand out all solo (with an enormous size of 6 MM or more). While it may be the most classic and timeless token of love for any bride-to-be, it also speaks to many senses of style. A Round or Oval Moissanite Engagement Ring resonates with an understated and conventional aesthetic, while one fashioned with a Pear, Marquise, or Princess Cut Moissanite is more on the fancier side of the spectrum. On the other hand, if you wish for a grand yet old-school emblem of love, there is nothing better than an Asscher, Emerald, or Cushion Cut Moissanite.

• Halo Style Engagement ring

  Oozing sparkles, this ring style incorporates a shimmering parade of Moissanite all around its Centerpiece. Apart from lending more character to your ring, this extra layer of sparkles (referred to as Halo) makes your Moissanite Solitaire appear bigger (for all the glitz and glam lovers out there). Needless to mention, it also adds some extra carats if you fancy one of those lofty-weighing engagement rings while sticking to a classic style (2 or 4-carat Moissanite Engagement Rings, for instance). On the other hand, if you want your Center Moissanite to shine all alone but still fancy the extra sparkles, a Hidden Halo Moissanite Ring seems like a perfect fit. That’s because the hidden halo here (unlike the usual halo) doesn’t encircle the Center Stone but is instead set beneath it to offer brilliance and character to your Moissanite without much effort.

• 3 Stone Ring

  Unconventional yet meaningful, this ring style incorporates three sparkling stones of Moissanite that are nestled together. Owing to its flashy and contemporary appeal (with three times more sparkles than a Classic Solitaire Ring), it has become the trend-savvy brides’ new favorite. But what truly makes it a romantic choice of Moissanite Engagement ring to pop the question with is the kind of symbolism that it boasts. The triple stones of Moissanite here shed light upon the unique journey of the couple’s togetherness, with each of the three stones signifying their past, present, and future, respectively.

• Moissanite Vintage Engagement Ring

  Meant to speak to old-school couples, Vintage Moissanite Engagement Rings feature ornate designs that are symbolic of the Art Deco, Edwardian, and Victorian Eras. Under this selection, you’re most likely to come across antique designs that incorporate milgrain and filigree detailing, ancient floral motifs, and abstract geometric patterns that complement the beauty of Moissanite. Besides that, be it a Floral or Art Deco Moissanite Engagement Ring, it speaks to the wearer by lending an heirloom feel to your emblem of love.

• Moissanite Knot Ring

  Prized as one of the most meaningful and Unique Moissanite Engagement Rings, a Knot Style ring emphasizes the beauty of the Centerpiece of Moissanite with loops of metal (on the sides) that are intertwined and woven together in an endless pattern. The endless knots here make this betrothal ring a romantic pick by epitomizing eternal love.

• Toi Et Moi Moissanite Ring

  A Toi Et Moi Moissanite Ring is characterized by twin stones of Moissanite (of any shape) that are snuggled close to one another. While the twin stones of Moissanite could be fashioned in any shape, a Heart, Pear, or Marquise Moissanite Engagement Ring is the most common sight to witness in this category. This style might appear super contemporary (and sparkly), but it still makes it to the list of the most meaningful proposal rings out there by speaking to couples who fancy conventional symbolism. That’s because the twin Moissanite here celebrates the coming together of two souls.

• Moissanite Cocktail Ring

  Prized as the boldest, most trendy, and flamboyant Moissanite Engagement Ring for Women, this Cocktail Style puts the spotlight on an enormous centerpiece of Moissanite set in an elaborate design. To add to its extravagant appeal, the Center Stone is often complemented with Moissanite in eye-striking patterns (as side-stones, Halo, or visually appealing clusters). While you’re most likely to come across flashy Moissanite Flower Engagement Rings in this category, those fashioned with nature-inspired detailing as well as vintage engravings also appear quite statement-making.

  Pro tip: If you wish to best complement the beauty of your proposal ring while also making a bridal statement, you might love getting your hands on a Moissanite Engagement Ring Set. It features a matching engagement ring and wedding band that are meant to be worn together. 

Popular Shapes of Moissanite Engagement Rings

• Round Cut

  Treasured as the go-to cut for conventional brides, a Round Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring is considered a great fit for solitaire, toi-et-moi, and three-stone styles thanks to its classic appeal. Boasting as many as 58 facets, it is meant to maximize the brilliance of the Moissanite. A 1 or 2 CT Moissanite Ring is the most popular option in this category.

• Oval Cut

  Easily a fancy, elongated, and unique version of the Classic Round Cut, Oval Cut stands out with its large and oblong shape that offers the illusion of longer and slimmer fingers. Moreover, an Oval Moissanite Engagement Ring exudes just as much brilliance as a conventional Round Cut while maximizing the carat weight.

• Marquise-Cut

  Hailed as a standout for its unique and fancy aesthetic, a Marquise Moissanite Engagement Ring features pointy ends and curved sides (making it look close to a football). Featuring 58 facets, it appeals with its unique bow-tie effect (that you’ll notice at the center of the Moissanite).

• Pear Cut

  Resembling drops of water or tears in shape, a Pear Cut Moissanite boasts a pointy top and a curved bottom. Not only does a Pear Shaped Moissanite Engagement Ring drive great appeal for its feminine aesthetic, but it also offers a distinctive sparkle (by being home to 56 facets that imitate the arrangement found in a Round Cut)

• Asscher Cut

  Meant to catch the eye with its vintage appeal, an Asscher Cut Moissanite is more or less square but with cut corners that make it appear octagonal. If we talk more precisely, a Moissanite Asscher Cut Engagement Ring features a flat table, a high crown, and 72 step-like facets that exude an eye-striking ‘hall of mirrors' effect.

• Emerald Cut

  In the simplest terms, an Emerald Cut is characterized by a rectangular shape that stands out with cut-off beveled corners, thus exuding a vintage yet sophisticated aesthetic. On a more technical note, Moissanite Emerald Cut Engagement Rings are home to 57 step-like horizontal facets, a flat table, and long lines that (similar to the Asscher Cut) give off a hall of mirrors effect.

• Princess Cut

  One of the most sought-after shapes in the group of fancy cuts, the Princess Cut appeals to the contemporary aesthetic owing to its modish square shape. A Moissanite Princess Cut Engagement Ring looks like an inverted pyramid when viewed from above. It is prominently prized for its high degree of symmetry and 50-58 diagonal facets that exude phenomenal brilliance (though not as much as that showcased by a round cut).

2. Can you shower with Moissanite Engagement Rings?

   Yes, you can hop in the shower wearing a Moissanite Gold Engagement Ring since exposure to water alone cannot damage this sturdy gemstone. However, make it a point to not subject it to chemical-loaded soaps and shampoos that can make it appear dull as a result of buildup over the surface.

   Over-exposure to hand sanitizers can lead to the accumulation of film over the surface of your Moissanite, which can deteriorate its sparkly appearance.

   • Immerse your ring in a moderately heated solution of soap and water (for at least 10-15 minutes).

   • Gently scrub the stubborn stains of oil, dirt, and grime off the surface with a soft-bristled toothbrush. Put extra emphasis on the pointy ends since that is where most dirt accumulates.

   • Once done, take your ring out and remove the residual soap from the surface by putting it under running water.

   • Finally, pat it dry with a lint-free cloth, and there you have it, sparkling as good as new.
