Morganite engagement rings have been gaining huge popularity over the last few decades. This rapid increase in their popularity can be attributed to three main reasons - morganite’s beautiful color, impressive hardness and durability, and the ability of the gemstone to replicate the charm of pink diamond. Yes, you read that right. Morganite is a fascinating gemstone known for its pink color that best imitates the appeal of pink diamond.

If you’re thinking of getting yourself a morganite engagement ring then you should not miss reading this article. Let’s talk about the reasons behind the popularity of engagement rings embellished with morganites.

Color

The biggest appealing factor in an engagement ring is the color of its centerstone. In that sense, the appealing factor of morganite engagement rings - the color of their morganite centerstones - is rich. Morganite has a bright peach color that’s been calling the shots for the last 10 years. Many people find this color of morganite very satisfying and alluring. Apart from the bright peach color morganites, pink morganites are also running the show in recent times. This baby pink color of morganite is highly coveted among modern brides.

Hardness & Durability

The hardness and durability of a gemstone are its next best factors after color. Morganite offers an impressive level of hardness and durability. The gemstone scores 8 on the 10-point Mohs scale of hardness, meaning it can withstand the wear and tear of average everyday life. Such a good score on the Mohs scale of hardness is also a significant reason for the utmost popularity of morganite engagement rings. People invest in a gemstone jewelry piece only if it offers a combination of beauty and endurance. And as regards morganite jewelry pieces, they are the epitome of grace and longevity.

Replicating The Charm Of Pink Diamond

We’re always keeping a tab on our favorite celebrities and the bling they flaunt. However, as much as we like their jewelry, we know we can’t afford it. But what we can do is we can imitate their ostentatious jewelry pieces with affordable jewelry. And that’s what’s worked for morganite engagement rings. That’s the reason why folks who can’t afford a pink diamond engagement ring opt for an engagement ring embellished with a morganite centerstone.

I mean morganite is a fascinating gemstone known for its pink color that best imitates the appeal of pink diamond. This reminds me of one of the quotes from Fight Club, the 1999 thriller that set the scene for the enormous success of Brad Pitt. The quote in the film is by Tyler Durden, the alter ego of the protagonist, and it goes like this: “We’ve all been raised on television to believe that one day we’d all be millionaires, and movie gods, and rock stars. But we won’t. And we’re slowly learning that fact.”.

Conclusion - The “Bennifer” Effect

These were some of the major reasons for the popularity of morganite engagement rings. From the color and hardness of morganites to their peculiar talent of mirroring the appearance of pink diamonds, all these things have worked wonders for morganite engagement rings. In conclusion, I’d also like to talk about how one of Hollywood’s most famous couples has also added to the marketability of morganite engagement rings, that too, without investing in one. 

Shocked? Well, I’m talking about Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez. The first thing that comes to mind when we hear the names of these two celebrities is that “Bennifer” is back. Zack Snyder’s controversial Batman first proposed to the American actress, dancer and singer in 2002 with a 6.1 carat pink diamond ring. The reason why I’ve mentioned their story is that a lot of people found engagement rings fashioned with morganites great alternatives to engagement rings embellished with pink diamonds.

Because there’s a big price difference between diamond and morganite - morganite sells for much less than diamonds, obviously - and the fact that the pink color of morganite best imitates that of pink diamond, many people picked morganite engagement rings to celebrate their love back in the mid-2000s. So, unintentionally, “Bennifer” is one of the reasons why many people fell in love with morganite engagement rings. There are also some other celebrities who chose morganite as their engagement ring’s centerstone. For instance, Brock Davies and Scheana Shay. This couple has also popularized morganite engagement rings. 

When Brock Davies proposed to the famous American TV star with a morganite engagement ring, the “Vanderpump Rules” was criticized by her fans and everyone on the internet. However, Scheana Shay, the reality star, defended her engagement ring by saying “I didn’t want a diamond”. Brock Davies popped the question to Scheana with a 12.74 carat rectangular cushion-cut pink morganite ring at their LA home.

Now that you know about the factors behind the fame of morganite engagement rings, it’s time you got one to celebrate your love. So, what are you waiting for?
