About Moissanite
Moissanite is a silicon carbide gemstone discovered in a meteor crater in 1893 and now lab-created as a brilliant diamond alternative. It scores 9.25 on the Mohs scale (just below diamond's 10), making it durable enough for engagement rings and daily wear. Moissanite displays more fire and rainbow brilliance than diamond and costs roughly 90% less than mined diamond of equivalent size. It's an excellent option for buyers who want maximum visual impact and sparkle within a tighter budget, particularly for larger center stones.
About 14K Rose Gold
14K rose gold gets its romantic pink hue from a copper-rich alloy — typically around 25% copper combined with silver. The color is warm, slightly less intense than 10K rose, and ages beautifully without tarnishing or requiring rhodium replating. Rose gold has been a defining engagement-ring trend of the last decade, pairing especially well with morganites, peach sapphires, and oval and cushion-cut diamonds. It flatters most skin tones and reads as both vintage and modern.
