Do Moissanite Rings Make Good Gifts?
Hook: Moissanite lasts forever but is much more affordable than diamonds making it great for anniversary, holiday, or birthday gifts, not just engagement rings. We all love a reason to make someone smile, and sparkle really seems to do the trick.
But is it cool to give a moissanite ring as a gift? Only if you’re looking for a main character moment. Moissanite is shine-city, super stunning, and lasts forever, and who doesn’t love that? Mix in its major affordability, and you’ve got a surefire slay no matter the gift-giving occasion.
So what’s the right combo of setting and size to put hearts in her eyes? Let’s get into it.
Different Than A Diamond
Ever heard of a moissanite diamond? Yeah, that’s not a thing. Moissanite is a stunning sparkly gemstone all its own, and it checks all the boxes.
- Lasts a lifetime
- Keeps its shine and won’t dull with time
- Nearly twice the sparkle of a diamond
- Always nearly flawless (VVS)
- Always colorless (unless it’s a fancy color)
First discovered in a meteor crash site, moissanite is made up of silicon carbide. While it is a naturally occurring substance, it’s also super rare, so all moissanite used in jewelry is manufactured.
Moissanite is ideal for fine jewelry. Although it isn’t quite as hard as a diamond, and nothing is, it comes close at 9.25 on the hardness scale. All that strength means it won’t scratch or become dull down the line. It’s forever shiny.
Good Gift Giver
Ready to crush the gift-giving game? Moissanite rings can be a fab gift, and that sparkly little (or not so little) stone can make a major splash. As with any gift, you gotta decide how much guap to drop and go from there. Budget first, buy second. Because moissanite is much more affordable than a diamond, you can snag your ideal design or go a little bigger if the mood strikes you.
If you’re looking for some superb gift ideas, moissanite is a great place to start. Especially if you aren’t vibing with necklaces or want to add something a little extra. Moissanite makes for a major wow moment, and, bonus, it’s a fantastic forever gift you can afford right now.
Moissanite rings can be custom-made in any setting, or you can choose from some chef's kiss ready-to-ship options.
Chonk Factor
Just how big should that moissanite be? You don’t want to go too big, or the whole neighborhood will be jelly. JK, for reals tho, rock size depends on two main factors.
Budget. How much do you want to spend? Figure out your price point first, and you might be pleasantly surprised with how far you can stretch your funds.
Style. The right size depends a great deal on her style. If she loves flashy fits and main character moments, go big or go home. If she’s more into the classic, modern, or minimalist style, you may want to swing for something more modest.
In the end, it’s all about cash and swagger. A moissanite ring can add a touch of sparkle or light up like a Christmas tree. It’s all about the vibe.
Small But Sparkly
Ok, maybe not so small after all. A 1ct moissanite makes quite an impact, and you can snag one for around $500, a sparkly steal if we ever saw one. Set that baby in a whimsical setting like The Twig for a natural vibe and a full fantasy moment. All that texture from the setting, with all the sparkle of the stone, makes for a really beautiful ring. It’s also an incredibly thoughtful gift that she can wear forever and always on any occasion. In other words, a total win.
Tied Up In Knots
The Alice also makes for a super sweet gift. The rope-like texture has a smooth finish that swirls delicately around the finger.
That soft texture makes the ring super stunning all its own, with gentle hinds of movement and shine. The design is also fantastic with friends, so she can add it to a stack later on if she likes. The ring has a majorly playful energy that eminats a hint of romance–especially in romantic rose gold–that makes a great gift for any occasion.
Double Your Sparkle
Two to three carats may be mid-sized moissanite, but it’s got some huge sparkle. And if you really can't get enough or that gorge shine, hit the 10x multiplier with The Kristen. Round and marquise diamonds on the band give the ring some major movement. The two brilliant stones play with the extra sparkle of the moissanite in a big way. It can only be described as shine city, and we want to be full-time residents.
Two carats is a pretty hefty chonk of space rock, and it costs a literal fraction of the price of a diamond. So if you were looking for an excuse to give a gift that makes a huge splash, there you have it.
Triple Twinkle
The Jasmine is giving a serious jaw drop with this 3ct moissanite moment. The vintage setting gives the ring a timeless vibe, while its soft lines add a sweetheart feel. The band is stunning with delicate sparkle and texture, creating some marquise-esq lines that guide your eye right to that center stone–not that you could miss it. The rock is major. We love a little finger coverage, and this 3ct radiant cut creates some serious stretched-out sparkle. It looks pretty darn huge. If you’ve ever wanted to take her breath away, this is certainly a good way to go about it.
Big Bling
Check it out. 4 and 5 carat diamonds are out of the question and expensive for like 90% of humans But hey, just because we can’t afford a huge hunk of carbon doesn’t mean we can’t score a really big rock. If you really want to knock her socks off, something in the 4ct range is sure to get the job done. Best part? A 4ct moissanite starts around 2k, making it totally realistic.
You gotta love a little sparkle in every direction, and if a 4ct stone isn’t quite enough, may we introduce The Mia. The band is covered in scattered sparkle that stretches the silhouette well into the shine zone. Giving something like this as an any occasion gift means she’ll have one big right-hand ring. And seriously, why not go for the boujee option? She’s worth it.
Heart Eyes
You know, in a cartoon, when they have heart-shaped eyeballs pop out of their head? That. If you want to surprise her with a gift that she will quite literally never forget, a 5ct moissanite ring will definitely cover all the bases. It’s huge, it’s sparkly, and it’ll last forever. And since these really big rocks start well under 3k, it’s worth every penny.
The Kamellie is a simple and stunning solitaire that lets that sparkly 5ct moissanite do all the talking. The delicate band almost makes the stone feel like it’s floating. Oh, and of course, it also has a hidden halo. Just in case you were worried, there wasn’t enough sparkle. It’s a majorly graceful setting that only elevates all the gorgeous elements from her finger to the corners of her mouth. You know, because she won’t be able to stop smiling. It’s the perfect combo of understated and extra, with a big ‘ole dab of shine.
