      The engagement ring you can actually afford (without it showing)

      Proposing to the person you love shouldn't cost you three months' salary. At Gold Shield we design engagement rings in sterling silver (925) with moissanite, the only gem in the world whose brilliance is superior to that of a natural diamond, at a fraction of the price. It's the smart choice for Mexican couples who value real quality over the marketing of the big jewelers.

      What is moissanite and why is it better than a diamond?

      Moissanite (silicon carbide, SiC) was discovered in 1893 by the French chemist Henri Moissan in a meteorite crater. Today it's grown in a laboratory with grade D-F (colorless) purity and VVS clarity, the same grades as an investment diamond. Three facts that no diamond seller will tell you:

      • Brilliance (refractive index): 2.65 vs 2.42 for diamond. Moissanite reflects more light.
      • Mohs hardness: 9.25 (diamond is 10). Only a diamond scratches it — quartz, sand, keys don't.
      • Fire (dispersion): 0.104 vs 0.044 for diamond. More colorful flashes under any light.

      To the naked eye, not even a trained jeweler can tell them apart without a thermal conductivity tester. And it costs about 10% of what you'd pay for an equivalent natural diamond.

      Moissanite vs Cubic Zirconia: the difference that matters at 5 years

      Cubic zirconia (CZ) is glass. It's cheap because it clouds over, scratches and loses its shine in less than two years of daily wear. Moissanite is a true gem with 9.25 hardness — the same scale as sapphire and ruby. It never clouds over, doesn't discolor with chlorine, perfume or sweat, and keeps its brilliance intact for the entire life of the ring. If you're going to wear it every day for 50 years, this difference is everything.

      Why sterling silver (925) in an engagement ring?

      Sterling silver (925) (92.5% pure silver, 7.5% copper) is hypoallergenic, durable, and lets us offer you a real engagement ring from $1,124 MXN. It's the smart option when:

      • You want to propose now without going into debt.
      • Your partner prefers the cool white tone of silver over yellow gold.
      • You plan to upgrade to 14k or 18k gold on your first anniversary, when you're married and have the budget.

      We keep your original moissanite and set it into the new gold piece. Your emotional investment stays; only the metal changes.

      Sizes, warranty and personalization

      We carry all Mexican sizes from 4 to 12, including half sizes. If your partner doesn't know their size, we send the ring in size 6 (the most common in Mexico) and do the first size change completely free within 5-7 business days. 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, free shipping nationwide and interest-free monthly payments on purchases from $3,000 MXN. Want an exclusive design? Write to us at ventas@goldshield.com.mx and we'll design your ring to measure with your own moissanite.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      STERLING SILVER ENGAGEMENT RINGS WITH MOISSANITE
      What is moissanite and can it be told apart from a diamond with the naked eye?
      Moissanite is silicon carbide (SiC) grown in a laboratory with grade D-F colorless purity and VVS clarity. Visually it's indistinguishable from a natural diamond to the naked eye, even for experienced jewelers; only a thermal conductivity tester tells them apart. In fact it sparkles MORE: its refractive index is 2.65 vs 2.42 for diamond, and its dispersion (fire) is 0.104 vs 0.044, which produces more colorful flashes under any light. It costs about 10% of the price of an equivalent natural diamond and is free of conflict mining.
      Can I change my ring to 14k or 18k gold later?
      Yes, it's our most requested upgrade service. We keep your original moissanite and set it into a new piece of 14k gold (from $15,624 MXN) or 18k gold (quoted by design), crediting you the value of the silver returned. The process takes 15-20 business days. It's the smart strategy: you get engaged today with silver from $1,124 MXN, and on your first anniversary or when you have the budget, you upgrade the ring to gold without losing the original gem or the sentimental value of the piece.
      Do you do free size changes? How long does it take?
      Yes. The first size change is completely free within the first 30 days after delivery; you only cover return shipping (about $150 MXN). The process takes 5-7 business days from when we receive the ring at our workshop. Additional changes or those after 30 days have a cost of $350 MXN. We accept changes of up to 3 sizes in either direction without affecting the integrity of the piece. Request it via WhatsApp or by email at ventas@goldshield.com.mx with your order number.
      What size should I order? How do I take my measurement?
      If you know the size, we carry all Mexican sizes from 4 to 12 including half sizes (4.5, 5.5, etc.). If it's a surprise and you don't know your partner's size, we recommend ordering size 6, which is the most common among Mexican women; you can use the free first change if it doesn't fit. You can also measure a ring she already wears by wrapping a thread around the finger and comparing it to our size guide (we send it to you via WhatsApp). Measure at the end of the day when the finger is widest.
