Moissanite Engagement Rings Melbourne
We make moissanite engagement rings at Level 7, 80 Dorcas Street, Southbank. By appointment, Monday to Saturday, thirty minutes one on one.
Moissanite designs start at AU$800. Every stone we set is GRC certified. Nothing is bought in finished from a supplier and marked up.
Why Melbourne couples choose moissanite
At the same budget, moissanite buys a visibly larger stone than a diamond does. That is the whole argument, and it is a good one.
The technical position: moissanite is silicon carbide, 9.25 on the Mohs scale against 10 for diamond and 9 for sapphire, so it is hard enough for daily wear without qualification. Its refractive index is higher than diamond's, which is why it throws more coloured light. Some people want exactly that. Others find it reads as obviously not a diamond in strong sun. We would rather you saw both under real light before deciding, which is what the appointment is for.
If you want the long comparison, read moissanite vs diamond or moissanite vs lab grown diamond.
Visiting the Southbank studio
Level 7, 80 Dorcas Street, Southbank VIC 3006. Southbank sits on the south side of the Yarra, so the CBD is a short walk across the river, and the Arts Centre and Crown precinct are close by.
We are by appointment only. Most weekday appointments run from midday, with late morning starts on Friday and Saturday. There is no walk in counter, and that is deliberate: when you arrive, the stones and settings we talked about are already on the bench.
Bring a ring she already wears so we can size it, inspiration images, a rough budget said out loud, and your questions. Book an appointment, or call +61 435 232 015.
How it works
- Consultation. Thirty minutes in Southbank, or by video call. Shape, carat, setting, metal, budget.
- Design and render. A 3D render before any metal is cut. Changes at this stage cost nothing.
- Stone selection. GRC certified moissanite chosen against your brief.
- Making. Casting, setting, finishing. Ready in four weeks.
- Collection or delivery. Collect in Southbank, or carbon offset insured delivery with signature required, anywhere in Australia.
If you cannot get in before you need a size, we will post you a free ring sizer.
Warranty and resizing
The lifetime warranty covers craftsmanship, meaning manufacturing faults such as an unstable setting or a flawed metal finish, and the optical properties of the stone: clarity, colour, fire, lustre and brilliance. It excludes normal wear such as scratches, damage from misuse or improper care, chipped or cracked stones, lost stones, theft and third party repairs. It is non transferable to a later owner.
Resizing is one free resize within three months of purchase, up to four sizes up or down, or two sizes on a pave ring. Additional resizes start at $80 and vary with the metal. You pay postage to us, we pay return postage.
