Understanding VVS Diamonds: A Beginner's Guide
When searching for that perfect piece of jewelry, whether it be an engagement ring, earrings, or a stunning necklace, the quality of the gemstone is of paramount importance. Diamonds, known for their unparalleled brilliance and durability, have long been the gemstone of choice for those looking to make a significant statement. Among the various grades of diamonds, VVS (Very, Very Slightly Included) diamonds stand out for their exceptional clarity. But, as we unravel the mystique of VVS diamonds, let's also explore an equally splendid alternative—moissanite—that combines affordability with ethical sourcing, and brilliance that rivals even the finest diamonds.
What Are VVS Diamonds?
VVS diamonds are classified under one of the highest clarity grades a diamond can achieve. This category is further divided into two—VVS1 and VVS2. The distinction between the two lies in the location, size, and visibility of the inclusions under 10x magnification. Inclusions are internal or external flaws, and their minimal presence in VVS diamonds means they are nearly invisible to the naked eye, making these diamonds appear almost immaculate.
The Appeal of VVS Diamonds
VVS diamonds are highly prized for their clarity, which allows for maximum light reflection, resulting in a dazzling sparkle. These gems are also regarded as a symbol of status and luxury, making them a popular choice for engagement rings, high-end jewelry pieces, and investment purposes.
The Brilliance of Moissanite: A Sustainable Choice
While the allure of VVS diamonds is undeniable, the emergence of moissanite as a gemstone of choice for many discerning buyers cannot be overlooked. Moissanite, a naturally occurring silicon carbide, is nearly as hard as diamond and exhibits a brilliance and fire that can even surpass that of a diamond. The benefits of choosing moissanite extend beyond its stunning optics; let's explore why it's gaining popularity as an ideal alternative to traditional diamond jewelry.
Affordability without Compromise
One of the most compelling reasons to consider moissanite for your jewelry collection is its affordability. With a price point significantly lower than that of VVS diamonds, moissanite allows for the purchase of larger, more impressive stones without sacrificing beauty or quality.
Ethical Sourcing and Sustainability
In today’s environmentally conscious world, the ethical sourcing of gemstones has become a crucial consideration for many buyers. Moissanite offers peace of mind in this regard, as it is lab-grown, ensuring minimal environmental impact and adherence to ethical practices, unlike the often controversial diamond mining industry.
Brilliance That Captivates
Moissanite's brilliance and fire—the dispersion of light into the colors of the spectrum—are truly remarkable. Its refractive index surpasses that of a diamond, resulting in a sparkle that is unique and eye-catching. This makes moissanite jewelry, such as those in our Pierciel collection, an excellent choice for special occasions or everyday luxury.
