Morganite Rings - Pros and Cons to Know Before Buying

Whenever you think of buying a ring for yourself or your loved one, the first thing that comes to mind is a diamond ring, but that doesn’t mean that you should always stick to a diamond ring. You can enrich your jewelry collection with different colored gemstones. If we look at the other side of the coin, choosing gemstones other than a diamond can also save you money in some cases. Morganite is a gemstone considered to be a good alternative to diamond, yet you should know these pros and cons before buying morganite rings. 

Pros: 

There are many plus points of having a morganite ring  in your collection

1. It Saves You Money:

A natural diamond is an expensive piece of rock, but if we talk about a gemstone ring that is not so expensive, then a morganite ring will be the best choice for all budget-sensitive buyers. A morganite has a pink hue, and a pink diamond can cost as much as 200-times more than a morganite. If we compare the price of white diamond and morganite, then a white diamond's price per carat is 10-times higher than that of a morganite.

2. Durability and Hardness:

If we do not compare morganite with a diamond and talk about morganite independently in its own right, then its hardness is also good for making durable jewelry pieces. Morganite has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, so it cannot be scratched easily.

3. Color:


This is where a morganite is an easy winner over a natural diamond because of its pink hue. A colored gemstone can make your jewelry piece look fancy and a morganite can serve this purpose perfectly.  Even if you are choosing an engagement ring, a colorless diamond ring can break your bank but choosing a pink gemstone (morganite) can save you money.

4. You Can Get a Bigger Size Gemstone:

Morganite is not as expensive as a diamond making it easier for you to choose a big-size gemstone at a relatively lower price. To manage the budget and the beauty of the ring together, choose morganite gemstone as a center stone and tiny diamonds to embellish the ring.

Cons: 

A morganite can never become a diamond, so we cannot consider this a con but here are some others you should know about.

1. Morganite Starts Looking Cloudy:


If you wear your morganite ring in your daily routine, it may start getting cloudy very soon compared to a diamond ring. The reason is that morganite quickly absorbs oil and dirt, which makes it look cloudy. Although; there are many ways of cleaning the gemstone at home, if you choose the wrong method for this purpose, you will end up scratching the gemstone.

2. Morganite Can Be Scratched Easily:

Morganite has a hardness of 7.5 to 8 on the Mohs scale, so if you have a morganite jewelry ornament, it can easily be scratched by daily household objects. It requires extra care, and you should keep it away from your diamond jewelry.

Before taking a call, keep these pros and cons in your mind. It is a matter of choice and preference for everyone as an individual. Some people may compromise with these cons to get a gemstone at a reasonable price whereas others may overlook hefty price tags and prefer a diamond over a morganite. 

To play with the budget and the beauty of the ring, you can try different combinations of morganite and diamond in your ring.
