Moissanite side stones?

Mrs., on January 8, 2019 at 4:41 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 4

Does anyone have a e-ring or a pave band with moissanite side stones instead of diamond side stones? I'm looking to customize a pave band with moissanite, but doing so with make the ring non-returnable so I wanted to reach out and see if anyone has any experience to share!

The jeweler says that when compared to diamond side stones, moissanite side stones are inferior due to the huge diamond side stone business in making sure the diamonds are cut so they shine brilliantly. However, he assured me that they'd still have their gemologist hand pick out the best 29 side stones from a larger bath of 100+ moissanite side stones. I'm not as worried about a moissanite pave band comparing to a diamond pave band. I think they'll still look beautiful. I'm more concerned about the durability of the smaller moissanite stones. Technically they're more fragile, but should they be strong enough to withstand normal, everyday wear and tear?

Any pictures of your moissanite side stones are welcome!

    They date 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs scale, diamonds are a 10. I have a moissanite engagement ring with diamond pave, trust me it holds it

    Hi Sharon! Welcome to WeddingWire and congrats on your engagement! Amber gives some great insight here and I agree, moissanite is definitely a durable, strong stone so I don't think you have anything to worry about! Your ring vision sounds absolutely lovely by the way.Smiley heart Will it be in silver or gold?

    Thank you, Maren! I found a separate forum where a few ladies posted their rings that had tiny moissanite side stones and they looked beautiful. I couldn’t even see what the jeweler had told me. They shined so beautifully and complemented their moissanite center stone perfectly. So I’m convinced! My engagement ring is a rose gold cushion solitaire so my wedding band will be rose gold moissanite pave
