Moissanite Engagement Ring Trends
If you’re thinking of popping the question or are simply looking for some insight
into moissanite engagement ring trends, read on for some popular styles that will
spark inspiration.
Lab grown rings have been a significant trend in the last few years and all for the
right reasons! Today we have the lab grown jewellery experts from Lily Arkwright
here to help guide you in choosing the perfect engagement ring and as
specialists in lab grown jewellery, they can confirm that this ‘trend’ is here to stay!
What is moissanite?
First of all, let’s establish our knowledge of moissanite. Choosing a moissanite
engagement ring has many benefits, and with an appearance practically
indistinguishable from natural diamonds, the number of people opting for this
gem is only set to rise.
Moissanite is a unique precious gemstone that naturally occurs but is extremely
rare in nature. Therefore, all moissanite used in fine jewellery is grown in a science
laboratory, with Charles & Colvard being some of the first technicians to recreate
the natural conditions and pressures required for moissanite to form naturally.
Through this lab growing process, the moissanite produced is physically and
optically identical to that of naturally occurring moissanite. It takes around three
months for a scientist to meticulously create a single lab grown moissanite.
Incredibly refractive and giving out the full spectrum of colours when exposed to
light, this mineral displays huge amounts of fire.
Mining can cause a reduction in biodiversity, soil erosion and can ultimately have
a higher carbon footprint. However, moissanite does not require mining and so
has a carbon footprint a fraction of the size, with peace of mind knowing no
community or ecosystem has been harmed during the making of your ring.
Additionally, when opting for a moissanite ring it means that dreaming big can be
a reality as moissanite costs roughly 90% less than mined diamonds which is all
the more reasons why people are choosing these ethical gems.
Trend 1. Hidden and Secret Accents
If you’re looking for something slightly more unique with a modern twist, the
hidden halo style could be your perfect pairing. It takes the form of a beautiful
solitaire setting that offers all the sophistication and class but that secret hidden
halo that wraps around the centre moissanite stone adds an extra playful sparkly
flourish.
The hidden halo is a breathtaking ring style that is like no other. The versatility is
an appealing factor as you can opt for a simple oval shaped ring to extravagant
round halos, the oval ring design is beyond compare and is suitable for any time
period. Hidden accents such as hidden galleries and halos are a huge trend in the
world of engagement rings right now!
Trend 2. Simple and Classic Solitaires
If you are seeking simplicity over intricacy, look no further than the sophisticated
solitaire setting. There is a reason why the simple solitaire has topped the most
popular engagement ring style for decades, the no-frills approach that the
solitaire setting takes is what gives it the ‘never be out of style’ badge! It will
forever be a timeless style that we just can’t get enough of!
If you’re not seeking to break the bank, a simple moissanite solitaire setting is a
perfect choice for those couples who are budget conscious or who simply desire
an elegantly timeless classic option. There is so much room for customisation
which is why the solitaire setting is so versatile and a great fit for any newlywed
couple!
Trend 3. Head Over Heels For Oval Stones!
Oval cut diamonds and moissanite have been everywhere in the celebrity world
and they’re definitely here to stay in the ring world. Anyone who has been on
Instagram in the past year will know that lush large oval rings have been taking
the jewellery world by storm! From the likes of Hailey Beiber to Kourtney
Kardashian, who have both been seen sporting an oval cut diamond ring and if
you’re seeking that similar style for the fraction of the price, opting for a
moissanite oval stone is an amazing option.
