Since the pandemic started, I limited my shopping trips in malls and shopped more online. So now that Christmas is a few days away, I resorted to shopping online for gifts too. My two besties and I love minimalist fashion rings, so when I discovered EternalSparkles.com, I knew I would buy my Christmas presents for them there.
The Eternal Sparkles website carries many types of jewelry — they have Moissanite, cubic zirconia, sterling silver, brass, and stainless steel. But what really struck my eye are the gorgeous Moissanites.
They say that Moissanite crystals are the best diamond alternative as they are affordable, durable, and lab-grown, which means they have a minimal environmental impact. On the Mohs scale, Moissanite’s score is 9.25, making it the hardest diamond simulant available.
The Moissanite rings that I got for myself and my friends all had the same classy minimalist design. Here are the three pieces I purchased from the website:
Virginia Stackable Pave Moissanite Ring
One of my friends loves topping off her stacked rings with a “special piece.” So when I saw the Virginia Stackable Pave, I knew it was the perfect piece for her. This ring features a thin band with a chevron shape and is adorned with tiny brilliant Moissanites. This ring reminds me so much of a tiara!
Milan Pave Moissanite Stackable Ring
My other bestie loves anything minimalist and dainty. She is not much of a fan of solitaire rings or cocktail rings, so I had to get her something as simple as possible, but it is still stunning. This Milan Pave then is the best piece on the website for her. It features a thin band studded with Moissanite crystals. It may look very simple, but in real life, this ring gives off fiery rainbow flashes when I place it under a light.
Parisian Emerald Cut Moissanite Ring
And for myself, I gut this green Moissanite sterling silver ring. Unlike my two best friends, I am more the type who is into solitaire rings. Yes, they may look like engagement rings, but this type of piece allows me to make a statement without going overboard. Plus, I am in love with the green hue of the crystal. Green is my favorite color, and I have lots of green tops and dresses to match this ring.
Eternal Sparkles ship out relatively fast despite the pandemic. So yeah, a total rave for this online jewelry shop! I highly recommend it for those looking for holiday gifts or for stylish jewelry for themselves.
