Moissanite is considerably more affordable. Do Amore offers free maintenance services on white gold. For couples who want a large, brilliant stone at the lowest possible cost, moissanite offers exceptional value.

Potentially, yes. Because 18k is a softer metal, the rhodium plating can wear through slightly faster under heavy daily use compared to a harder 14k alloy. The difference is not dramatic, but it is worth noting. Both metals typically need replating. Do Amore offers free maintenance services on white gold.

Focus on symmetry first: both sides of the teardrop should mirror each other evenly, and the pointed tip should align with the center of the rounded end. At roughly 8.6x5.2mm, a well-cut 1 carat pear moissanite delivers excellent brilliance and fire. In 18k white gold, look for a secure V-prong at the tip to protect the stone's most delicate point.

Many pear cut stones do show some degree of bow-tie, a shadow across the center of the stone where light is not efficiently returned to the viewer. A faint bow-tie is common and generally acceptable. A strong, dark bow-tie is considered a sign of poor cut proportions and is best avoided. Viewing the stone in person or in high-quality video is important before purchasing.

Do Amore appeared on Shark Tank as the only engagement ring company to pitch its ethical giving model on the show. This 1 carat pear cut moissanite in 18k white gold combines the pear's brilliant teardrop silhouette with a stone that produces more fire than diamond. The 18k gold band is recycled, and your purchase funds one person's access to clean water, verified through GPS well tracking.
