Frequently Asked Questions
Is moissanite a good choice for an engagement ring?
Yes. It’s nearly as hard as a diamond, so it won’t scratch easily and is fine for daily wear. You’ll find moissanite jewelry, including wedding bands and engagement rings, in solitaires, three-stone rings, halos, and other designs. Couples often choose moissanite engagement rings for the mix of beauty, durability, and their more affordable cost.
Can you tell the difference between moissanite and diamond?
To the naked eye, moissanite can be difficult to distinguish from natural diamonds. Jewelers may notice that moissanite stones exhibit more vibrant flashes of color under light, while diamonds reflect a sharper brilliance. Most people can’t tell the difference without special tools. Under normal light, both look clear and brilliant, which is why many choose moissanite as an alternative to a diamond engagement ring.
Is moissanite ethical and sustainable?
Yes. Moissanite is made in labs rather than mined, so it avoids many of the environmental and sourcing issues tied to natural stones. Most couples often pick moissanite rings because it feels like a responsible choice and still gives them a ring that will last and look good for years.
Will moissanite stay clear and brilliant over time?
Yes. Moissanite does not fade or turn cloudy. It keeps its sparkle year after year with simple care like the occasional cleaning. Just like other fine jewelry, a quick checkup now and then at Varlie Madison helps it look its best, but the stone itself will stay bright for a lifetime ahead.
How do I clean moissanite at home?
Keep it simple. Use warm water, a drop of dish soap, and a soft brush to loosen any buildup. Rinse well and pat dry with a clean cloth. That’s usually all it takes to bring the sparkle back. For a deeper refresh, stop by Valerie Madison for a professional cleaning.
