Avoid Morganite engagement rings; here’s what to get instead

[@christinef9237]

As a gemologist, I'm stoked all the info is correct! Lab sapphires a fantastic sub. I recommend it every time.

[@BijouLab]

Thanks for the support and kind words 😊!

As a Montanan , I prefer the saphines mined in Yogo Gulch in Montana.

[@merciless.v]

You did great with the time limit on this one. I think it’s cool you’re educating people on stones, it’s not just about diamonds.

[@beccalife275]

Sapphire is basically the go to if you want any colored ring

[@jennylove2746]

I know right? True story, I have a ruby ring (9 on the Mohs scale) for over 12 years. It looks almost brand new without any scratches. I know 12 years isn’t a life time, but at one time I wore this ring everywhere. 😊 When I get married, If I want a colored gemstone ring, I will probably opt for a colored sapphire or a ruby.

[@SophieMia806]

​@@jennylove2746 ...Rubies are technically red sapphires, as they're both the same mineral - corundum. They're also really beautiful, both rubies and sapphires. 😊

[@BijouLab]

Yes and uncoated colored moissanite as well 😊!

[@BlendedBarbieDoll]

@@BijouLabare pink moissanite coated?

[@BijouLab]

@@BlendedBarbieDoll yes 😢

[@SnoowMcCall1]

Pink Saphire.....❤❤❤
The morganite is absolutely beautiful but not for everday. Fascinating it is named after JP Morgan😮

[@BijouLab]

I know, I think it’s so neat that he was a gem lover!

My favorite Stone

[@hillarydesmond-mcnaughton8839]

Yep, I ultimately opted for a peachy-pink sapphire over a morganite. So worth the investment in terms of durability and the way the sun hits the facets sends a cantaloupe-like rainbow. Stunning.

I had a terrible manager in the past who opted for a brilliant cut morganite for her engagement ring. The ring was so cloudy and dull. Looked like plastic after a while. Needless to say her jewelry choices were as awful as her managing techniques.

That first ring was to die for❤ ❤❤❤❤❤

I love the history, art, and science in just 1 minute!

Thanks Kristen!😊🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@avres13]

Amazon $20 wedding rings each, wife loved them

[@eh1126]

Imagine being “I got a gemstone named after me” kind of rich

[@jennylove2746]

Funny thing is I’ve always preferred the sapphire peachy color to morganite.

[@Jackaroo.]

Just get a padparadscha sapphire if you are set on a peachy color stone. Sapphire is harder and will be a safer alternative.

[@jaktolver_banks272]

Very cheap aswell, Hahaha

[@helenkelley8788]

Great information and all true!❤

[@yukialinia8001]

Other than sapphires, are there any other gemstones u recommend that are naturally pink? 🥺

[@honest-helena]

The first ring is so beautiful with all it side stones! Where can i find it? You've also shown this style in your video about the opalescent sapphires 😊

[@lolo82t.r.86]

What is the price point of a pink sapphire and Morganite? And are pink sapphires natural or lab created, or both? And what are the price points for natural vs. lab grown?

[@rochelle178]

This is good advice. I picked my ring out with my husband. Normally I really like to do my research ahead of time, but we were being spontaneous! Lol. My ring is morganite with smaller diamond details. It's gorgeous but realistically a bit too pizzazz for me for everyday wear. That, plus a few other reasons, has lead to me only wearing it for special occasions instead of daily. It is still, to me, the most beautiful ring I could imagine. But I don't think I'd recommend it as an engagement ring lol

[@rochelle178]

My plan if I ever replace the centre stone is to do so with a pink sapphire instead. :)

[@xplodingpenguins1047]

What about tourmaline? Is that a good gemstone for a ring?

[@Amalie.x7fv]

I’ve got a peach sapphire in mine!

[@BeastOrGod]

Buy a cheap pretty morganite. If it get noticaby scratched, just have it replaced.
Instead of 2000 dollar diamond, you instead spend maybe 600 dollars on morganite replacements in your life time.

[@Alex-cw1ph]

You have to pay to have it replaced, which over time will impact the rest of the ring. Meaning more money and more headache

[@janlee8209]

Aside pink sapphire i think Pink moissanite will do

[@katherineeggleston6992]

My very favorite Stone

[@Angelica-ps4cs]

[@myriamdhaiti2935]

[@sapphire22011]

[@christophertaylor9100]
