Moissanite Becomes Popular Choice for Engagement Rings

Sept. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- A diamond has always been and will always be a woman’s best friend, but Moissanite jewels are quickly establishing themselves as the best alternative.  With a look that is unmistakably identical to a diamond, Moissanite jewels offer more fire and brilliance at a fraction of the price, and are available in the same selection of shapes and sizes perfect for rings, earrings, necklaces and more.

Moissanite jewels deliver all the beauty and sparkle you expect.  This ‘best kept secret’ is growing in popularity with women and men alike who want the prestige and beauty of diamond jewelry, but don’t want to pay the price in these tough economic times.  Similarly, moissanite rings have become increasingly popular for engagement rings, wedding bands and anniversary rings.  In today’s economic downturn, moissanite offers the perfect, affordable solution so she can get the ring she wants at a price he can afford.  

Moissanite jewels are harder than sapphire and emerald and have been hailed by many as ‘The Most Brilliant Jewel in the World™’.  As social responsibility becomes progressively more important, shoppers will be happy to know that moissanite is not seized by uprooting the earth, instead these precious jewels are handmade.  Because natural moissanite crystals are so scarce and minute, if they were not hand-created, they would not be available for jewelry.  

Charles and Colvard® is the global distributor of Moissanite.  Their team of gem-cutting experts transform these lab-created crystals into magnificent jewels.  Each and every jewel has been hand-fashioned using exact proportions and cutting angles designed specifically to maximize its brilliance and is backed by a Certificate of Authenticity and Limited Warranty.
