Men's Moissanite Wedding Rings: A New Choice for the Modern
Groom
Explore the new trend in wedding jewelry -- men's moissanite
wedding rings. Men are becoming increasingly savy about their
choice of wedding jewelry. Many grooms wish to create a unique
yet affordable look by exploring different stones and metals.
Men's moissanite wedding rings are an attractive and economical
alternative to the traditional diamond wedding band.
Moissanite is an increasingly popular choice for men's wedding
rings. Though less expensive than the diamond, moissanite is so
similar to the diamond in appearance and properties that even
those with a trained eye may have trouble distinguishing them.
Manufacturers claim that moissanite actually sparkles more than
a diamond, and is almost as hard.
Moissanite was first identified as a rare natural substance in
meteorites. In the late 1800's, Dr. Henri Moissan, discovered
the substance associated with a fallen meteor in Arizona.
However, it is only recently that moissanite was available for
purchase. Today, moissanite gemstones are synthetically produced
for jewelry. Moissanite's durability and resistance to heat make
it easy to work with for jewelers. Many people are drawn to the
stone's original "otherworldly" origins, and diamond-like
appearance.
Men choosing a Moissanite wedding ring can have the look of
diamonds without the exorbitant price. Indeed, the groom can
splurge on bigger stones and a more dramatic look by choosing
the less expensive material. While less expensive, moissanite is
a quality stone that is typically set in gold or other precious
metals.
Charles & Covard is the only manufacturer of moissanite. JC
Penney now sells the line, calling it "one of the fastest
growing choices for jewels today." Moissanite rings come with a
lifetime warranty, and will endure the years of marriage as well
as a diamond. Those interested in purchasing a men's moissanite
