Review on DovEggs Sterling Silver 1 Carat 6.5mm G-H-I Color Heart Arrows Cut Moissanite Engagement Ring Solitaire for Women by Mark Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Highly recommended! - Statement

I like it very much! This is a very shiny, very beautiful ring! I bought it because I wanted to wear something from now (29 weeks) until the end of my pregnancy. My fingers are usually swollen at the end of the day which makes wearing the rings very uncomfortable. I originally wanted something very cheap, but I found them to look and feel very cheap as well. So I researched a bit more for diamond alternatives and found that white sapphire (colorless corundum), white/colorless topaz and moissanite are the best choices. I wanted something to come to me quickly and there are almost no white sapphire options on Prime so I went with 3 white topaz rings first. They were nice and shiny, but Topaz requires more frequent cleaning (weekly). I'm not very good at cleaning jewelry so I decided to return it. Then I ordered this and another moissanite ring, also from Transgems. It is very economical mainly due to the metal. This is platinum plated silver, not pure white gold or other expensive metal. I saw a similar round cut in 14k white gold for $570. Clarity and color values are not the highest for this, but the flaws are hardly noticeable to me. In any case, the ring has a decent weight. My engagement ring is palladium, it's lighter than platinum, looks like it. It was also a thinner strip, I have thin fingers. The bracelet is very comfortable to wear. I have previously purchased two cubic zirconia rings, for some reason they seemed much rougher. The recommended size is under 2 carats and the cut is round as moissanite cannot hide its disadvantage in large/heavy size and/or different cuts. Not only does it fit my budget, it ticks all the boxes that I wanted. I have several photos of the ring in blue and white and yellow and white light. I also took out my diamond earring for comparison. They are very similar to normal eyes. I highly recommend this for ladies looking for something to wear temporarily or on vacation.

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • A little maintainability
