1 Carat Marquise Cut Platinum Moissanite Ring+ 1.0-Carat Marquise Forever One Moissanite

Moissanite was originally discovered in a meteorite crater in 1893. Natural moissanite is extremely rare, so virtually all moissanite sold today is lab-created. It is a silicon carbide gemstone that closely resembles a diamond while offering more colorful sparkle and a lower price point. A 1 carat stone offers the timeless proportions that made it the default engagement ring size for most of the 20th century.

Platinum is rarer than gold and requires more of it in the ring due to its density. It is also more labor-intensive to work with, requiring specialized tools and expertise. A platinum engagement ring typically costs 40 to 60 percent more than an equivalent white gold ring. For many buyers, the long-term durability and no-maintenance finish justify the premium. A 1 carat stone offers the timeless proportions that made it the default engagement ring size for most of the 20th century.

A 1 carat lab diamond typically costs between $800 and $2,500 depending on cut, color, and clarity. At 1 carat, this was the average diamond size for many decades before lab-grown diamonds came along, making it a proven, timeless choice. A comparable mined diamond of the same quality can cost $4,000 to $8,000 or more. That gap has widened in recent years as lab diamond production has grown. Lab grown offers significantly more stone for the same budget.

Yes. Like pear cuts, marquise stones have pointed tips that are vulnerable to chipping. V-prongs or claw settings that fully cover both points are strongly recommended. Setting choice is especially important with marquise cuts, and a well-designed setting that protects both tips while showcasing the stone's outline is worth the attention. At 1 carat, you get the engagement ring size that set the standard for generations, now at a fraction of what it would cost with a mined stone.
