Ahh, romance. First kisses, sunsets in the summertime, then rainy date nights, and promising sweet ever after… well, as soon as you can afford it.

Putting a pause on your proposal is the pits. But don’t be bummed if that budget is keeping your engagement ring out of reach. We’ve got a sparkly solution that’ll save you a grip and let you go home with a ring right now.

And hey, guess what? Saving doesn’t mean settling. The magic word is moissanite.

Why choose moissanite? Well, for starters, it’s a stunning stone that looks absolutely fabulous in an engagement ring. Also, because moissanite is so much more affordable than a diamond, you can buy a way bigger stone and still come in under budget.

If you’re determined to get a diamond, that’s ok too. If you don’t want to wait to propose, you can snag a gorgeous moissanite ring right now and get a diamond down the line.

Looking for something different than a diamond? Moissanite is an exceptional choice for fine jewelry that will last a lifetime and is a great alternative to diamonds.

Sparkles in Space

So what is this shiny stuff? Moissanite is made up of silicon carbide. It was originally discovered when a comet crashed into the earth. It’s stardust, and it doesn’t get much more romantic than that.

Natural moissanite is rare, so all moissanite found in fine jewelry is lab made. This keeps the cost down and the quality high.

If you’re thinking moissanite, think sparkle. The stuff has an incredibly high sparkle index, as in twice as sparkly as a diamond.

Moissanite can be cut to show off all that glittery sparkle and show off its rainbow fire or to look more like a diamond. The cut you choose depends on the shimmer you’re after.

Do You Have To Let It Linger?

So, does moissanite last? Yes. While you might decide to buy a moissanite ring and replace it down the line–or fall in love and keep it forever–moissanite will last as long as a diamond. It won’t just last a lifetime. It’s something you can pass on to your children.

Diamonds last forever because they are so hard, a 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, to be exact. Moissanite comes in at 9.25. This means nothing can scratch moissanite other than a diamond or another moissanite.

All that hardness means two things. First, moissanite can be precision-cut to shine like nobody’s business. And secondly, it’ll stay that way. Meaning moissanite will never get dull or “cloudy.” It’ll sparkle on for a lifetime.

Pocket Friendly

Moissanite is super affordable. Moissanite is a beautiful alternative if you want to get an engagement ring right now but don’t have a few thousand dollars lying around to spend on a diamond.

The best part is a moissanite engagement ring doesn’t feel like a replacement. It feels like the real deal because it is the real deal. It’s just different from a diamond.

Savvy Sparkle

So just how much can you save? Prices vary from stone to stone depending on the cut, color, clarity, and carat–otherwise known as the 4Cs.

Because moissanite is more affordable, you can get the best of the 4Cs in every category – it’s all we sell. But let’s take a look for comparison.

A 1-carat VS1 G color round lab diamond might cost you around 1,200, give or take, and about five times that for a natural diamond. A 1ct VVS colorless moissanite will cost less than half the lab diamond.

All that to say that with the same $1,200 budget, you could get up to a 2.5 or even 3-carat moissanite. Or if you’d prefer to stick with the 1 carat, you can walk with a stone for well under 1k, leaving plenty of room to pick the perfect setting.

Line ‘em Up!

Just like with our diamonds, you can choose any size or shape of moissanite and match it with any setting you like. Saving doesn’t mean settling.

Choose a simple solitaire or something more ornate. You can get her the ring she wants while saving a few thousand dollars for the wedding.

Here are a few examples of how you can get boujee on a budget, but really, the sky is the limit.

Subtle is the New Stunning

The Razor Kamelie proves that simplicity can be stunning, especially when it’s got all that sparkle to back it up.

This ring is a play on our classic Kamellie solitaire. The thin band has a razor edge. It’s incredibly delicate and flattering to the hand. A hidden halo adds a touch of glittering sparkle from every angle.

All in all, it’s simple, elegant perfection.

You Bezel Believe It

The Charlotte has some seriously sleek lines. The clean beveled edge is sophisticated, modern, and streamlined to perfection.

The silhouette is understated and gorgeous, making it a stellar match for all the glittering sparkle of a moissanite stone. And in case you wanted a little more in the shine department, a hidden halo adds a touch of sparkle to the smooth setting.

Oh-So Enchanting

The Twig is majorly magical. This engagement ring is nature-loving with a touch of whimsy and a unique (and popular) choice.

The playful lines look stunning with a moissanite, while two round diamonds on either side accent the glittery gorgeousness.

A budget doesn’t mean you have to skip on detail. The Twig is part of our signature collection and one of our most affordable settings–although it certainly doesn’t look it.

Pavé the Way

The Pavé Alex is delightfully elegant with a healthy dose of sparkle.

An endless row of pavé diamonds plays off the center stone's sparkle. The hidden halo forms a continuous loop of sparkle, the high-set moissanite making it perfect for stacking.

Excuse Me, Did You Say Elegance?

The Naomi emanates gentle elegance with a delicate band that is flattering to the finger.

Pear and round brilliant side stones enhance the look of the thin band while adding to the sparkle of your center stone. They also switch up the silhouette giving it a unique and elegant look.

Sparkle Sunday (With a Big Rock on Top)

The Rachel is stunning with three-sided sparkle, a diamond bridge, and a hidden halo.

The ornate design is giving sparkles from every angle. It’s an insanely gorgeous engagement ring, and it’s giving us some serious fine jewelry feels.

The band is giving rich and luxurious, and because you saved so much on that moissanite, you can bask in the glitter of it all.

Now is the New Later
