So what can we take from this comparison?
Purchasing a gemstone for your engagement ring is a big deal! You are investing a lot of money into it, and you would expect it to last a lifetime. It needs to endure everyday wear and tear and sparkle for a lifetime. To ensure this, we strongly recommend that you avoid purchasing unbranded Moissanite.
1. While some jewellers will say their stones are D colour and VVS1 clarity, more often than not they are selling you a lower quality stone without you knowing. When purchasing from a reputable moissanite brand, like Radiant Beauty™, you can be sure that you are getting exactly what you pay for.
2. Some jewellers will provide their own certificates of authenticity however this is not 100% proof of a stone's quality, as there is no party actually grading the stones. It’s merely just the jeweller creating a certificate to look like it has been graded. Look for a stone that comes with the moissanite brand's own certificate of authenticity, confirming its actual properties.
Unbranded Moissanite can be found everywhere, especially online. It can be overwhelming when searching for a high-quality stone and, at times, it is hard to know exactly what you’re purchasing. This is why we always advise buying branded Moissanite, like Radiant Beauty™, from an authorised jeweller (like us!). Radiant Beauty™ gives you a unique authenticity card, with a unique number confirming your exact stone. Each Radiant Beauty™ Moissanite is graded and verified by an expert gemologist so you can be sure that it is of the highest quality.
When you purchase a high-quality moissanite stone, you can be confident that your piece sparkle for a lifetime!
