Already have a moissanite quote? Hold it against ours
Comparing moissanite ring quotes only works when you compare the same thing. Two quotes can look far apart and still describe different rings. Before you judge on price, line up the stone size, the colour grade, the metal, the setting, the certification, and the delivery terms. When those match, the price tells you something real. When they do not, the cheaper quote may simply be a smaller stone in a lighter metal. Send us your specification through the quote page and we return a firm rand price you can set beside any other.
Why like-for-like matters
Moissanite is sold by millimetre size and diamond equivalent weight, so the first thing to check is the actual measurement. A quote for a 6.5mm stone is a 1 carat equivalent. A quote for a 6mm stone is smaller and should cost less. If one supplier quotes millimetres and another quotes carats, convert them to the same measure before you compare. Read moissanite carat versus diamond carat so the numbers line up.
Colour grade is next. A colourless stone graded D to F costs more than a near colourless one, so a lower quote may be a lower grade. Metal is the third lever. A 9ct gold band costs less than 18ct, and platinum costs more than both. A quote in 9ct against a quote in 18ct is not a fair fight. We set in 9ct and 18ct gold and in platinum, and never in 14ct, so state the karat when you compare.
What to check on every moissanite quote
Confirm the stone size in millimetres and the diamond equivalent carat. Confirm the colour and clarity grade. Confirm the metal and karat. Confirm the setting style, because a halo or pavé adds stones and cost over a plain solitaire. Confirm that the stone comes with GRA certification, which is the standard grading report for moissanite. Confirm the delivery terms and whether delivery is free. Confirm the warranty and the resize policy, since these carry real value after the sale. When two quotes agree on all of that, the price difference is the whole story.
Certification you can check
A moissanite quote should name the certification. We certify every moissanite with GRA, and every lab-grown diamond with IGI or GIA. A report ties the stone to a grade you can verify rather than a claim you have to trust. If a quote gives no certification, you cannot compare grade at all, and grade is where a lot of the price sits. Our certification page explains what each report covers.
Why our pricing works
We run a single South African workshop and sell direct, with no physical showroom to fund. That keeps the price on the ring rather than on overheads. A 1 carat moissanite solitaire in 9ct gold starts at R13,995, and a lab-grown diamond version starts at R24,995. Delivery is free anywhere in South Africa within one to three business days once shipped. We consult remotely by WhatsApp, email, and video, so you get the same attention whether you are in Cape Town, Johannesburg, or a small town, across all nine provinces. Browse the engagement rings collection to see the range behind the quote.
The warranty and resize terms to weigh
Price is not the only number that matters. We give a limited lifetime optical warranty that covers clouding or loss of brilliance, though not breakage, plus a 12-month manufacturing warranty. Your first resize is free within 12 months, where you pay postage to us and we cover the return leg. When you compare quotes, put these terms in the column too, because a slightly higher quote with real aftercare can be the better buy. For payment, you can use PayFlex, PayJustNow, Happy Pay, or Mobicred, or pay a deposit and balance, as set out on our payment plans page.
How to get a quote to compare
Send us the stone size, the colour grade, the metal, and the setting through the quote page, or message WhatsApp on +27 69 288 1535. We reply with a firm rand price and the exact specification behind it, so you can hold it against any other quote line by line. If you are still deciding on the stone itself, read what is moissanite or start from our home page.
How do I compare two moissanite quotes fairly?
Match the stone size in millimetres, the colour grade, the metal karat, the setting, the certification, and the delivery terms. Once those are the same, compare the price.
What details do I need to request a quote?
Give the stone size or diamond equivalent carat, the colour grade if you have a preference, the metal and karat, and the setting style. Send it through the quote page or WhatsApp.
Why is one moissanite quote cheaper than another?
Usually because the stone is smaller, the grade is lower, or the metal is lighter. A 9ct gold ring costs less than 18ct, and a near colourless stone costs less than colourless.
Should a moissanite quote include certification?
Yes. Every stone should come with GRA certification for moissanite, or IGI or GIA for lab diamond. Without a report you cannot compare grade.
Do you charge for delivery when I order?
No. Delivery is free anywhere in South Africa within one to three business days once your ring ships. International delivery is a flat R1,500 over ten to twelve days.
