Payment Options
At TMC Fine Jewellers, we provide a variety of payment plans including Afterpay, ZipPay, Humm, and PayIn4 through PayPal. All of these payment plans divide the total amount into smaller fees to be paid in increments over a certain period.
They are completely interest-free and can be selected and implemented at the payment checkout.
Moissanite
A moissanite is its own unique gemstone, just as sapphires and emeralds are their own unique gemstones. Moissanite, however, boasts a similar durability to a diamond, as well as an uncanny visual resemblance to a diamond, making it the perfect alternative for bridal jewellery.
Moissanite is a more affordable option when compared to cultured diamonds, ranging between $1,200.00 and $5,000.00+. Moissanite allows you to indulge in your dream ring design and a larger carat size, without exceeding a reasonable budget.
A moissanite is the perfect choice for somebody who desires the highest quality diamond alternative, that is ethical and attainable.
Lab Grown Diamond
A laboratory grown diamond is chemically and optically the same as a mined diamond. They are one in the same - real diamonds. A lab grown diamond, however, is created above ground sustainably, with advanced technology mimicking the natural growth process of a mined diamond.
Cultured diamonds are more expensive than moissanite, ranging between $2,100.00 and $15,000.00+. However, they are significantly more affordable compared to their mined counterparts.
A laboratory grown diamond is the perfect choice for somebody who desires a real diamond with ethical origins.

Carat
Carat refers to the weight of a diamond. Moissanite and diamonds don’t weight the same, so we place emphasis on the phrase carat equivalent. Our carats of moissanite are determined based on the visual appearance of the diamond carat equivalent on the hand. This means, if you’re choosing a 2 carat moissanite it will visually appear the same on the hand as a 2 carat lab diamond, irrespective of the actual weight.
Colour
Colour refers to a gemstone's natural colour, not the coloured flashes of light the diamond emits when it moves, known as fire. Colour is graded alphabetically from D (Colourless) to Z (Light Yellow).
Lab Grown Diamonds
We primarily work with IGI and GIA certified lab grown diamonds that range between the DEF colour range, to ensure the whitest and brightest appearance.
Moissanite - Colourless
Our signature Eternal Brilliance Moissanite is D - Colourless. This is the most diamond-like, and the most beloved moissanite gemstone colour choice amongst our couples.
Moissanite - Champagne
We offer a bespoke range of champagne coloured moissanite, ranging from a light yellow tone to a deep cognac.
Moissanite - Coloured
We offer an extensive range of coloured moissanite. Design your dream ring with a burst of colour.
Clarity
Clarity refers to the inclusions found in a gemstone. These can occur during the growth methods utilised when created in a laboratory. Our Eternal Brilliance Moissanite boasts a clarity of VVS1.
Faceting
Faceting refers to how the gemstone has been cut and determines the internal appearance of the stone itself, rather than the shape. Moissanite gemstones can be cut and faceted to change the stone’s overall visual appearance, including its fire and brilliance.
Bespoke Customisations
A bespoke customisation is the perfect way to add individual flair to your dream ring. Choose from a pavé band, hidden halo or pavé bridge. These customisations are available in both moissanite or lab grown diamonds.
Hidden Birthstones
Select up to four Hidden Birthstones in order of desired placement. We proudly utilise lab-grown hidden birthstones that align with our stance on ethicality. For more birthstone information, simply click on your desired birthstone to learn more.
