    It sucks that you felt so much pressure/stress about this - Your ring is beautiful! Moissanite isn’t a “fake diamond” but it’s a beautiful stone in itself like a sapphire or emerald. Diamonds are a major scam, their value is inflated because of De Beers controlling the supply, they are actually in abundance and the entire concept of a diamond ring bought with 3 months salary is all marketing. People wore gemstones or non diamond prior to De Beers massive marketing campaign. Good for you for being sensible and not going into debt for a piece of jewelry!

    My engagement ring is moissanite and it’s honestly better than a diamond! It’s more ethical for everyone involved. Mining is terrible for the earth as well the people that mine them. I get compliments on my ring daily and when I tell people that it’s moissanite and how much we saved everyone thinks its a smarter alternative. I’m so glad you made this video because the shame around not having a diamond is deep and educating people on other options is so important!!

I hate that people feel societal pressure to call a diamond alternative ring "fake."

      @@byCHLOEWEN Also keep in mind they were discovered in a meteorite originally! They just discovered how to recreate them in a lab. Plus the refractive index of a Moissanite is much higher than a diamond, and is a close Second on the mohs scale of hardness at a 9.25 while diamonds are a 10.
      A Moissanite has a rainbow reflecting light while diamonds have a white sparkle. Also they are flawless and a diamond will unfortunately have imperfections becuase it is mined.
      I suggest Charles and Calvard btw they have a patented method on making the most brilliant Moissanites! They are lovingly created and not massed produced

    My mother got engaged a few weeks back. She kept bragging about how expensive her engagement ring was and how big it was. Her fiance spent almost 5k on her engagement ring and wedding ring!!! My husband spent literally less than $600 on both my engagement ring and wedding ring. Lol my mom has always been the material type though. I don't see anything wrong with getting a more affordable ring. As long as they are good quality and will stand the test of time. I'm perfectly happy with mine and I wouldn't ask for anything different. Although, it's not necessarily the cheapest, it's also not outrageously expensive. :) glad you talked about this!

    My favorite stone is moissanite too and it actually coincides with my husband's birthday.
    Where a diamond is made from carbon (#6 on the periodic table of elements,) a moissanite is carbon and silicon together. Silicon is assigned the #14 on the periodic table.
    My husband's birthday is 6/14 so it was a very nice surprise to find that info out.
    I have 3 moissanite rings and 3 bands (1 diamond, 1 moissanite, and 1 CZ.) I mix and match them in all different ways bc I change my mind so often.

    My ring is also moissanite and I remember feeling so ashamed of it and feeling like I had to defend why I chose this type of ring. It looks beautiful but I am always so nervous that people are thinking it’s fake. But I’ve started realizing that other people really don’t care and if they do it doesn’t matter. At the end of the day, I’m married to the love of my life and that’s what matters. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️

    Such a smart move! A ring is a token of your love. So your ring is real and gorgeous! You have nothing to hide! What an amazing option and sorry you had to go through those insecurities but glad you were able to work through them. Anyone who would judge a ring needs to look inward.

We need more videos with this honesty and this is the true way we become strong women and better human beings. Great job!!

    So glad I found this video. I was telling my partner I’ve been toying with the idea of a moissanite ring so I could get what I wanted size wise. We can afford a 8-10k on a ring, but I just feel guilty asking him to spend that much money. I would rather put that into furnishing our new home. This video really made my final decision on the moissanite!!

    We are in the stage of looking for a ring. In looking and learning more about the market, I have learned that "you can't live inside a diamond ring". Diamonds are as beautiful as any other stone out there. I am very proud of both of you, for not giving in and buying something you guys were not able to buy or go into debt for it. I think you guys made a great choice and it shows how "fiscally" responsible you guys were and are at this point. I love your ring and I love the fact that you are truly happy with it!. Thanks for opening up as a lot of us girls (are in the same fear/pressure boat).

    Love your ring! I actually prefer moissanite to diamonds for ethical reasons. My husband replaced my diamond engagement ring with a gorgeous moissanite for our 10 year anniversary, and I am even happier and more proud than before. Moissanite is a real stone with great longevity, and I think it was extremely thoughtful and responsible of you and your husband to make that choice so young. Thanks for sharing!! I wish I would have known about moissanites from the beginning, and you spreading awareness is fantastic for so many people!

  • @astrea79

    Congrats! I also got a moisannite engagement ring and I got lots of compliments. Only one person who wasn't a jeweler asked what stone I had. Most people just see a beautiful ring, they don't care if it is or isn't a natural mined diamond. The setting has lab created diamonds and it was all under $3500. And we just didn't feel like spending a ton of money on just an engagement ring.

    I wanted diamond earrings for my upcoming two year anniversary and ended up going with a lab grown diamond for the price and larger size. They are just as sparkly as my real diamond ring and are more ethical and environmentally friendly. 🙂

    Gorgeous ring.! I got engaged super young too. So my first engagement ring was a white sapphire. Everyone thought it was a real diamond, until id tell them. But he upgraded it to my choice of ~ a tanzanite & diamond ring. I love tanzanite since its more rare then diamonds..🥰

I hope that other young women & girls can have the integrity that you display. Moissanite is rated 9.5 on the Mohs scale of Mineral Hardness, with a diamond rating at10. Your stone choice is excellent and beautiful.

    Recently I’ve been feeling really self conscious about my engagement ring and I don’t know why. I have a vintage .5 carat diamond ring and I’ve been constantly comparing the small size of my ring to others. I totally related to this video (as far as hiding your ring from others or avoiding talking about it). I wish I had considered this option when we were looking. At the end of the day, the ring doesn’t really matter. We’ve saved up. We bought a house. We didn’t go into debt for our wedding. And we’re happy. That’s what matters. Thanks for sharing this.

    After searching out basic embroidery stitches and watching one of your videos I stumbled across this one. I noticed your beautiful ring in that video. I know lots of people who wear lab created stones. I personally would prefer wearing a lab created ring because of the cost plus they are beautiful. It’s important for people to stay grounded in the things that are most important in life. Owning the most expensive this or that is far from it especially when it’s not in the budget. Debt is no joke! I love your confidence and that you shared this with your followers. 😀

    I love my moissanite ring, and I think yours is beautiful! I agree with everyone else saying you shouldn't think of it as a fake diamond - it is a stunning and strong gemstone in its own special category. My now husband and I wanted to save for travel and experiences (and paying off student loans) instead of jewelry! The ethical benefits were a plus as well.
