Pinky Promise: Rose Gold Morganite Engagement Rings

When it comes to engagement rings, pink is more than just a pretty color - it’s a mood! It’s all about health, happiness, and a whole lot of love. That’s why morganite, with its dreamy blush hue, has captured the hearts of brides-to-be everywhere. When paired with rose gold, it’s pure, unfiltered romance! We’re here to share some interesting facts about morganites, as well as some of our favorite morganite engagement rings. Let’s get started!

What Is Morganite?

In 1910, a stunning pink gemstone was discovered on a mountainous island near Madagascar. This dazzling gem was a variety of the mineral beryl, known for its soft, romantic hue. It soon caught the attention of J.P. Morgan - yes, that J.P. Morgan - who was such a gem fanatic that they named it morganite in his honor! How crazy is that?!

Since then, morganite has charmed gemstone lovers around the world. Brazil is the top producer today, but you can also spot it in Afghanistan, Africa, and the U.S. Interesting fact: the largest morganite ever found, affectionately called "The Rose of Maine," was discovered in 1989 - a 50-pound, blush-pink beauty!

Morganite Facts & Fun Stuff

Color

Madagascar’s magenta-hued crystals are the gold standard, but Brazilian morganite comes in shades from soft pink to a peachy salmon. Traces of manganese give it that gorgeous and iconic blush color, and heat treatments can make it even pinker!

Durability

With a 7 on the Mohs hardness scale, this gemstone ranks lower than other gemstones and even its beryl relatives (emeralds and aquamarines range from 7.5 to 8 in hardness). It’s not as tough as a sapphire (9 on the Mohs scale), but it’s definitely ready for love’s daily adventures with the proper care and routine checkups!

Affordability

Morganite brings that luxurious pink look without the high price tag. It’s a pastel dream that won’t break the bank!
