Why Are Moissanite Engagement Rings so Popular?
The moissanite stones have increased their popularity as an engagement ring. Discovered in 1893 by Henri Moissan, moissanite has become a massive hit globally. This French scientist made the discovery of this stone in a crater caused by a meteorite.
Some of the reasons why lovebirds are in favor of this gemstone include:
Its Rarity
Natural moissanite stones exist on craters, which is not a common occurrence. That makes it a unique gemstone to find, unlike the others. Even though the majority of the moissanite that worn is lab-made, its class is still unmatched. For a woman to have a moissanite engagement ring makes them feel as special as the gem itself.
Ethical and Sustainability Practices
Most of the gemstones are usually mined from the earth, making it an environmental hazard. Getting a carat of diamond requires a ton of ground off. This makes the piece of land susceptible to soil erosion and bare. The number of trees that have to down to create a mining area is also alarming.
Apart from environmental destruction, there is more to most gems mining. Precious gems mining has ranked under the bad side of mineworkers' rights. Men, women, and children have lost their lives in the quest for diamond mining. The ones who survive get very little wages and live in pathetic conditions.
Moissanite making doesn’t have such ethical issues associated with it. The stones are laboratory-created. The workers in these labs have great working environments. Their safety and well-being at work are always prioritized.
Its Characteristics
The other reason that moissanite engagement rings are so popular is their characteristics.

This creates a moissanite engagement ring ideal for everyday wear if one wishes to do. They won’t have the fear that their ring will get spoiled, even if it falls. This factor makes a moissanite stone one that can withstand the test of time.
