Why Choose Moissanite Bridal Set Rings?
Moissanite is lab-created silicon carbide with a refractive index of 2.65, compared to a diamond's 2.42. This means that more light bounces around inside the stone, producing more fire (colored rainbow flashes) than a diamond of the same size. At a carat weight of 1 or above, that fire is immediately visible on the hand. It also scores 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond among gemstones used in jewelry. Plus, it won't scratch, cloud, or lose brilliance, making it the perfect choice for a bridal set ring.
The price difference is also significant. A mined diamond bridal set of comparable quality can run $1,500 to $15,000. A moissanite bridal ring set at CaratBee starts at a considerably lower price, which typically means you can also go up in carat size, choose a more detailed setting, or simply keep more of your budget for everything else.
What's Included in a Moissanite Bridal Ring Set?
This entire collection includes engagement and wedding ring bands designed to sit flush against each other with no mismatched prongs and no awkward height difference when stacked. Every moissanite bridal ring set at CaratBee is IGI certified and available across white gold, yellow gold, rose gold, silver, and platinum.
Popular Styles of Moissanite Bridal Ring Sets
- Solitaire set - This setting features a single center moissanite on an engagement ring with a plain or pave-lined matching band. It is the most versatile style to stack with additional bands over time.
- Halo set - Here, a border of smaller moissanite stones surrounds the center stone on the engagement ring. The overall ring will read larger than the center stone's carat weight due to the halo effect.
- Side Stone set - The center moissanite in this setting is flanked by smaller accent stones along the band. It is designed to give the center stone more sparkle and the illusion of a greater carat weight overall.
Moissanite vs Diamond Bridal Sets: What's the Difference?
Diamonds return mostly white brilliance, while moissanite produces more colored fire. For a bridal set, where you're looking to purchase two compatible rings, that difference will be more noticeable. It all comes down to preference. Do you want the warmer, rainbow-heavy look of a moissanite or the crisper, more restrained sparkle of a diamond?
On hardness, diamonds score 10 on the Mohs scale, and moissanite sits at 9.25. Meaning, both are durable for daily wear across decades. On price, a comparable mined diamond bridal set costs significantly more than a moissanite one. In short, your choice will ultimately vary due to budget and preference.
How to Choose the Right Moissanite Bridal Set Rings
- Shape depends on preference:
- Round cuts provide the highest amount of fire and brilliance
- Oval and pear shapes make the finger look longer
- Cushion cuts offer a soft, antique look
- Emerald cuts feature a sleek, step-cut style that creates a hall-of-mirrors effect
- Metal - White gold and platinum emphasize the icy, colorless quality of the stone while yellow and rose gold add warmth and complement vintage-style moissanite bridal set rings.
- Setting style - Your chosen setting for an engagement ring, whether solitaire, halo, side-stone, or the unique halo-pave, must be carefully selected to match your wedding ring. If unmatched in terms of setting style, a bridal set ring bears the risk of looking out of place.
Caring for Your Moissanite Bridal Ring Set
Moissanite does not cloud from the inside out. Any loss of brilliance that can be seen comes from surface oil and dirt, which you can clean with a soft brush, some dish soap, and warm water. It is also suggested that you store the ring set in a separate cloth pouch because moissanite can scratch other softer gemstones and metal bands in your jewelry box.
