Marriage comes with following a lot of traditions, and one of the most common one is wearing a diamond engagement ring. Because of their stunning appearance and toughness, diamonds are popular for being the stone of choice to buy when proposing. However, diamonds are also known to be one of the most expensive gems out there, not to mention their impact on society and the environment, so it’s not surprising to see many people go for something with a different kind of uniqueness to it. Brides have turned this year more than before to non-diamond engagement rings as they are far more cheaper than diamonds and just as elegant. One of those gems that has become one of the biggest ring trend of 2018 is moissanite. Searches for Moissanite engagement rings on Google have blown through the roof since 2017!

There is also a yellow or gray tint with moissanite that diamonds don’t have.
