    I have two moissanites and several diamonds (both lab grown and natural). Moissanite is a gorgeous stone - and being almost the same on the Mohs scale they are hard enough to withstand daily wear - so are great for engagement or wedding rings. I think it’s very hard for most people to tell the difference between Moissanite and Diamond. There is a slight difference the sparkle - moissanite actually sparkles more than diamonds. If you’ve always wanted a big 2 or 3 carat sparkling engagement ring, moissanite is the way to go!

      I have a one carat marquis Diamond that is my wedding ring. It’s 34 years old, I love it, but wanted a change up for my anniversary. I chose a two carat Charles and Colvard moissanite, that’s a beautiful ring, that I chose over a Diamond, when I tried it on, I fell in love with it, and kept it. It’s in 14kt gold, I has intended to buy a lab diamond, after doing some research, but the ring I code is just gorgeous!

      Moissanite is more resistant to chipping than diamond are they are larger by carat weight and have a higher refractory index.
      They are more durable and sparkler than diamonds so you decide.

  • @tigre9271
    @tigre9271 2 роки тому +23

    Another important factor is the CUT. If the faceting is done in the ideal proportions it can vastly affect how fire and scintillation the stone exudes.

  • @kojibackupaccount6649

    Fun fact, just to flex cuz they was downplaying people’s ability to differentiate between the two. Everytime they showed a comparison I guessed right which one was moissanite. I did my research on moissanite and diamonds before going out and buying jewelry and deliberately chose moissanite cuz moissanite has more fire, brilliance, and scintillation than diamonds meaning moissanite tends to sparkle more. The easiest way to visually tell the difference side by side, look for which stone shines the colors more intensely meaning you can see them better like a laser show (moissanite), diamonds tend to shine more softly and more so flicker kinda so the specific sparkles don’t last long and aren’t as intense. Also look for the color in sparkles. I could be wrong on this but I think they actually have the exact same color variety in the sparkles, but this I know for sure, moissanites are more visible. For example in moissanite you could see colors like red and purple more clearly than diamonds

      If you want a less flashy looking stone Old European cut is a good one. It's a round cut like a Brilliant but it has larger facets and less of them. It's my favorite cut for moissanite.

    • @duelenigma7732
      @duelenigma7732 Рік тому +4

      The disco ball you are not nuts about may be the double refraction of Moisonite . It produces colorful sparkle where diamond is a single refraction and not full of colors as is the moisonite . ( 40+ years a goldsmith)

    I have 2 very significant moissanite pieces and the only moissanite I will use in my jewelry is Charles and Colvard. I did extensive research before purchasing the stones and Charles and Colvard moissanite is the only one that met all if my requirements. And yes, they are the original manufacturers of moissanite so they have the experience to make a top quality stone.

    They charge so much for Moissanite. It should only be 1/50th the cost of its diamond counterpart of the same quality. Most of the cost should only come from the precious metal it is mounted on.

    I love moissanite. My daughter got an engagement that's mois. On the sides where to other stones.. I took one look at it and said the other stones are diamonds. She said Mom how did you know that they are. I said they did that to charge you more and I can tell by my eye they don't look as good. Moissanite puts out a bit of a color dispersion that diamonds don't have.

      Yeah, the mark-ups on Moissanite are just insane overall, and if you end up with a Moissanite that has an imperfection within it, usually needle-shaped, that type of flaw doesn't occur in mined or lab-grown diamonds. If you've proposed with it and she doesn't know, most jewelers have updated diamond testers which will tell her, if she decides to get it cleaned or tested. Eventually, lab-grown diamonds will become even cheaper and guys waiting to propose or buy, should just wait and get something that doesn't look so much from outer space. Or at least get it from a brand which offers a lifetime warranty on the Moissanite. (search it out.)
