Omg! An honest jeweler that doesn't have a biased view for one stone over another! I love it!
@@guymichaelsmith6850 moissanite has a higher brilliance and refractive index than diamond. FACT!
@@ecor150 You mean... The Most FIRE.
What you are seeing in Moissanite is an extreme FIRE caused by its double refraction. FIRE is only one component of Brilliance there is also Scintillation and White Light return. Because of this Double refraction, the Light Ray that enters the Moissanite is not reflected in a Defined Flash but rather the Light Ray is split up into spectral hues, therefore the fire overpowers the other components of Brilliance; white light, and scintillation. Diamond and CZ are both singly refractive and therefore have the ability to display all the of the components of brilliance.
@@guymichaelsmith6850 moissanites are pretty cheap and some people prefer their sparkle over that of a diamond.
@@fo11773 Please do not confuse Silicon Carbide [Moissanite] with Pure Carbon [MIned or Lab-Grown Carbon Diamond] they are not the same, not close. You are misleading others. You should read the FTC Ruling [Government Ruling] from July 2018 on the definition of real Diamond.
@@fo11773 No disrespect, you Obviously have not a clue about Gemology. Even if a Synthetic Moissanite were to contain a small amount of carbon it is still not a diamond. A Diamond has to be composed of 100% Elemental Carbon to be an actual Diamond. The International Gemstone Authority, GIA has classified Moissanite as an Imitation Diamond as It simulates a genuine Diamond. I understand some folks that have actually purchased moissanite say it looks good. However, it is not necessary to lie to folks about moissanite, in fact, it is illegal to misrepresent a product. Clearly, there is a lot of misinformation regarding all imitation diamonds.
Moissanite is a genuine gemstone of it's own kind that is similar to a diamond. There are many gemstones to choose for jewelry from sapphire to turquoise. Only in the minds that have been influenced to believe a diamond is the standard gemstone to buy and that it is rare, expensive and prestigious will dismiss other gemstones...Cut the cord of mental enslavement and enjoy, also appreciate new things.
Spot on "Mental Enslavement" such a dope comment..
Well said!
Yes!! Some person tried to tell me diamonds were a rare collectors item (See comments above) Brainwashed!
Absolutely correct. The propaganda that diamonds are forever and that Diamonds are extremely rare and priceless was spread by De beers.
The fact is that Diamonds are undoubtedly very precious and beautiful natural stones but neither are they rare nor are they the only priceless gemstones.
In fact Moissanite stones are equally or probably even more durable sparkling and beautiful gemstones than diamonds. In fact Diamonds have almost the same physical properties as Diamonds. So I strongly feel that people should abandon Diamonds completely and shift to Moissanite stones as an alternative. Moreover Moissanite costs just 10-15% of Diamonds.
Basilia&Lewey very we said.
I just dropped off my moissanite at a local family jeweler for the center stone to be tightened in and the woman asked me after looking at it, "Do you know what the stone is?" like making sure I know that it's isn't a "real diamond". Like girl- I know. That's why I picked it out in the first place. It's beautiful, eco-friendly, and didn't put a hole in my husband's pocket. All around the best decision to make for me.
My husband just bought me a moissonite today. Never heard of it until now and I love it!
I chose my ring (moissanite center stone) and my soon to be fiancé was definitely surprised in a good way :). Diamonds are beautiful, don’t get me wrong…but so is moissanite and every other gem! They’re all just as beautiful and valuable as the next in my opinion. I wasn’t going to make my boyfriend spend the equivalent of a down payment on a house just for a particular stone that costs more only because people decided that it should lol.
Back around 1995-ish, I worked at a jewelry store. Moissanite first came into stores and the pricing was just as high as diamonds because people considered it to be in the same category. So people were paying exhorbitant prices for this stone. Fast forward years later and prices dropped significantly. It is a beautiful stone, we've all been brainwashed to believe that a diamond is the end all be all. I say, buy whatever you like: moissanite, diamond, ruby, aquamarine...all that matters is that *you* love it.
Part of it has been the tech. Moissanite production quality has improved greatly in the last 5 years.
Thank you, truly appreciate a honest description and not selling key points.
I love my moissanite! Tbh i would never spend that much $$$ on a diamond, i would rather put that $$$ toward savings for retirement.
Love it! Do what feels right for you ❤

Love the way you explained the differences in between diamond and moissanite, I was bit confused earlier now I got some more ideas about these two gems
Honesty is refreshing and as rare as the precious gems. Thanks.
My friend has a moissanite engagement ring, when she was going into jewellers to look at wedding bands the sales people would always change their tune when they saw the size of it, obviously thinking it was a diamond 😂
Haha It can be very difficult to tell the difference unless you know what you're looking for and sometimes sales people just aren't trained properly, to be completely frank. 🙂That's why I always tell my clients who are worried about someone calling them out that they have "fake diamond" not to worry, because unless you know what you're looking for nobody will be able to tell!
Fake it till you make it...so it seems hehe
That's crazy! I had a sales person ask me if mine was a cubic (I think to throw me off a bit?) But I actually sat there and educated her a bit about moissanite!
I brought some Charles & Colvard moissanite gems into a prestigious jewelry store to have them placed into a setting. All their diamonds were excellently cut, _far_ better than anything at Kay's or Jared's. I was surprised that, even under the ideal lighting, the moissanites looked exactly like the diamonds. The diamonds did not have more contrast as some diamonds online seem to have. And, the moissanites did not have noticeably more fire. Honestly, I was a little disappointed that the moissanite didn't look noticeably more beautiful than the diamond, but at least it looked as gorgeous. The stones were 6mm and under. I believe the differences between moissanite and diamond are more noticeable at 7.5mm and larger.
@@Austin1990 ooh, I've been looking at the Charles and Colvard moissanites and I'm considering doing that exact thing - buying gemstones there and bringing them to a jeweller to have them set into a setting. How did it turn out? Was the price difference still good after getting them set?
Thank you for this thorough and passionate explanation without bias! ❤️👌
Yoo this was the best jewlry video I done ever watched quicc, detailed and to the point preciate yuh💯
Very well done video. Thank you for being unbiased and showing lots of details clearly!
Well said and informative. Thanks! Better information than I found in several articles on moissanite.
Just bought a CC Forever One and I couldn’t be happier. No risk of getting blood diamonds and it’s price were the main reasons I decided to get a moissy over a diamond. I think I made a great decision. Enjoying a vacation with the money saved!
Too bad. You could’ve bought a real lab grown diamond for the price that Charles and Colvards sells their moissanite.
I had a moissonite ring and LOVED IT , its so brilliant , I will totally buy more , its more affordable than a diamond but just as brilliant and beautiful as a diamond. 😍
My girlfriend only liked jewelry with diamonds until she saw jewelry with moissanite stones. She just fell in love with the beauty of this stone and I became to buy her earrings and rings only with moissanite stones. She likes it, but I'm happy that because it's even cheaper!
I am obsessed with my Forever One moissanite 💕 it sparkles like no other
Absolutely correct. Even I have a Moissanite stone from Starsgem Hongkong. And it's absolutely stunningly beautiful and sparkling. More beautiful than a diamond can be.
I also like diamonds very much. They just look great in jewelry. I also never understood the difference between diamonds and moissanite. The girl explains everything clearly, thank you for the information.
Thanks for sharing, it is very helpful!
0:32-0:35 I mean some people are made in a lab and they’re not fake humans either so...
🤣🤣🤣🤣

I mean, we do call them test tube babies for a reason lol
Excellent contrast
Very nice explanation. Thanks!
Very informative and honest. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching :)
Truly I love my moissanite and would never pick a diamond since having one, only because they're SO much sparklier!!
Yes! ❤ I have a lot of clients who loved both diamond and moissanite, but ultimately picked the moissy because they jut loved they way it sparkled, not necessarily because it was more budget friendly or a diamond alternative.
Rachel Cunningham 👍🏼 I love Moissanites too
Much cheaper and beautiful 🤩

@@Pearlgems2299 I went to look at your moissanite diamonds and it's saying you have none. Actually it says "oops not found" after I clicked on the link.
Even white sapphires can look like diamonds if the cut is right. I have several lab-grown white sapphire rings that, so far, nobody can tell from diamonds. I even tried them out on my sister-in-law, who is a French aristocrat. She was floored that she couldn't tell the difference between my white sapphires and her real diamonds.
Very informative. Thank you!
Great info I have it in one of my rings. "Everything Alessia" had you give info on morganite so I wanted to know about my ring. Going to check out more with the Gyrls.
Thanks, very informative. I would have love to see more shots of comparing a diamond and a moissanite side by side. And, to see them in similar jewellery designs.

Great Video, thank you!
Happy to help! :)
Thank you; this video made my night. I’m buying some moissanite jewelry right now
Glad you found my video helpful!
An excellent explanation
Thank you!
So I think the size of the moissanite makes a difference in how different they look. I just got some .5 ct earrings and they look just like my diamond ring. That's .25 ct each. I have also a 2 ct equivilant Moissanite cushion and round brilliant each... they do show where moissanite shines- with more fire and brilliance than a diamond due to their refraction index. I wouldn't turn away a diamond (or any jewelry) gift, but I am totally happy with moissanite. I believe they have really exploded in quality and options of sellers since c&c's patent expired. Love love my moissanite, right now from China. If I can afford the pricier stuff later, I'll buy from an American company but for now, the stuff from China is good enough and it fits my beer budget for sure.
Hi...! Friend Please visit my channel ❤️
This video was so helpful! I have a diamond ring but it is made up of smaller diamonds to look like one larger diamond. I wish I knew about moissanite when I was in college getting engaged because I know I would’ve gotten a bigger stone for a better price!
Glad we could help! Using smaller diamonds together to get the look of a larger stone all around is a great option, but if you do want a larger stone you can always upgrade down the road and create something that reflects who you are now rather than who you were then :) I see women do it all the time, it's totally normal! Some people still feel guilty about it, but all of our styles are changing all the time.
hello good evening, sorry in your opinion.Where or what stores / websites do you recommend to buy a moissanite ring (stone) ? Thank you!
I am interested in your necklace? Is that your creation? Is on like that available for purchase somewhere?
I have seven moissanites and five diamonds and I like my diamonds but when you look at their value, they are a dime a dozen.
The price of a diamond is like driving a new car off the lot, it pummels down in value there are so many of them! You can’t resale them even close to their appraisal value. Nope.
But a moinssanite is just as hard, it has a beautiful deep clarity and it reflects the color of a rainbow. People will ask you if that diamond is real! Or how much did you pay, or where did you purchase it.
I just love my moinssanite and there isn’t that many out there at all. Plus there is actual moinssanite that has developed in the earth just like a diamond, but not like a diamond in quantity. They're more rare.
But you get more bang for you buck with moinssanite. They are gorgeous!!
@derek flint Mined diamonds aren't going to decline in value as long as De Beers controls the release of stones for sale.
@@HotVoodooWitch
De Beers only controls about 30% of the natural diamond market these days. And, diamond mines are running out. The value of natural diamonds will increase unless the demand drop (or plummets) due to lab diamonds. I expect lab diamonds to become the standard in the industry, like most of what you will see in a mall jewelry store. In the least, most of the smaller accent diamonds will be lab diamonds.
Currently, De Beers is trying to put all other lab diamond companies out of business by under pricing lab diamonds so that it will have a monopoly on the technology. Then, it can keep lab diamonds from decreasing the value of mined diamonds. Then, it could charge as much for lab diamonds as natural diamonds while having much higher margins on the lab diamonds.
Twaskyou for your information
Great video! I prefer the colorful sparkle you can get from the moissanite, diamonds are beautiful, but more of a crushed glittery ice.
Question: What if you are buying a moissanite gemstone by itself? What are the differences in quality to look for? And what about potential cloudiness?
Hi Carla! Glad you liked :) That is a great question! When purchasing moissanite always make sure it is coming from an accredited company that has a lot of authority. Do a lot of research on them and make sure you trust that you're actually purchasing a real moissanite, and not a mystery stone. When it comes to quality, if you are buying from a reputable source you shouldn't have to worry about large differences in the hardness or the refractive index of the stone, or even lots of inclusions because moissanite is lab grown. A really good company will be able to maintain the majority of the quality standards across their stones. Almost all moissanite will have some slight inclusions (what would make your stone look cloudy), but they typically won't be visible to the naked eye, so pay attention to or ask about inclusions when purchasing the stone. The biggest variation you may see is variation in the colors of the stone, which are graded in a similar way to diamonds. If you want your moissanite to be that really bright white, you want to go for a colorless (D, E, or F Range) stone.

Nice review
I lost my diamond engagement ring to the garbage disposal, and my research for an economical replacement led me to discover Moissanite. I am very much Team Moissanite now. I like that it's more environmentally friendly and I love the sparkle.
Thank you very much
So informative...thanks for sharing
Of course!! Happy to help. Thank YOU for watching! 😊
Love these lapis. What size are and how much
I got 2 moissanite stones really beautiful colors especially the green one. 💍💍💍💍
Super cute too, very helpful tips
Love your video ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
Many don’t prefer conflict diamonds. Moissanites’ fire is comparable depending on the cut. Had a princess cut engagement 💍 . Afraid 2wear it n public. the sparkle was absolutely blinding. Didn’t wannuh b jacked. If you’re contemplating buying a moissanite, don’t hesitate. 🦋
Good info. Thanks for posting 👍🏻

Hi...! Friend Please visit my channel ❤️
Good stuff!
Thanks!
I have a question, when you put an intense light on a diamond it give red yellow an blue with no mixing of the colors the perfect prizm, what colors do moissanite give.
What is avg price for white gold 3.5 ct moissanite? Please!
When I first heard "diamond seed" I legitimately thought of a seed that would grow into a plant that produces diamonds.
You're not alone.
I live in Brazil, I have a moisanite panning, some clean and without occlusions. I accept business.
yes,the moissanite is just moissanite,it is not fake diamond.I love moissantie with it special sparkle.
Is Moisannite grown from seeds as well? Like a lab grown diamonds?
Good for your video
Great video! Since moissanites are almost as hard as diamonds are on the mohs scale, will moissy's last? I'm worried about the wear and tear on them. Will it get cloudy or turn a different color over time? How long have moissanties been used in the jewelry industry? I'm interested in finding out more about moissanites.
Thank you! LOVE that you know about the mohs scale, that is so important. You're right, since moissy's are rated just under diamonds on the mohs scale, they are hard enough for everyday wear. I always say that a stone needs to be a 7,8,9, or 10 to be a good choice for an engagement ring. They should not get cloudy or change color over time either. Because we didn't have the technology to create them in a lab until recently, moissanites have only been around since the late 90's-early 2000s, but keeps getting better and higher quality as we develop better technology. If you want to learn more, The American Gem Society is a reputable, unbiased source and they have an article on moissanites here: www.americangemsociety.org/news/359699/The-Mysteries-of-Moissanite.htm
Abby Sparks Jewelry Thanks, Abby! I really find each gemstone fascinating. They’re all beautiful, but I’m really leaning towards a moissanite as an engagement ring/band. Keep the videos coming. :)
@@taseelee Totally! Moissanite is a great option for your engagement ring/wedding band too because it's white so it will match with everything :) You could also always mix it up and do moissanite with accent stones in other gemstones.
Moissanite is an Eternal Gemstone and will last forever
Moissanite is fantastic, you will not regret them.
*thank you gradeaundera.*
Let’s say I get a 1ct moissonite ring....will it weigh the same as a 1ct diamond ring?
2:00 You mentioned that moissanite has carbon & silicone, what percent of carbon and silicone? How is the carbon doped with silicone?
Moissanite is a silicon (not silicone) carbide crystal. Silicon carbide is a molecule, SiC. There is no doping. It is a completely different material from diamond.
Thanks
So in 20 years , will the moissy still be brilliant and keep appearance? Will it turn into dark grayish tarnished like stone? As I've seen with cw?
jan joy You mean Cubic Zirconia? That’s not close to moissanite in its composition and it isn’t a gemstone. Moissanite is a gemstone that keeps its brilliance just as long as a diamond. Forever.
Moissanite will keep its Brilliance
thanks
Can you comment on the Nexus Diamond Simulant? Thanks!
What's the difference in price ? Big or really big

Whoohooo!! That is awesome! Thank you!!
Maybe someone can answer this, I found a lot of Jewelers will not resize a cz or a moissanite ring. I have a wedding ring size 4 or 4.5 depending on band size. Now my other fingers ok I can get sizes for a 5 but most of the time there is no 5.5 for the other middle finger. So yes I just prefer a dimond, then I know I can get it resized if I ever need to. If they are real diamonds what is the reason jewellers don't resize them?
I have had a moissy resized with zero problems. If a jeweler knows what they are doing, neither sizing should be an issue. Of course they prefer you to buy from them to make that quick sale.
It depends on the metal. Platinum and rose gold rings are difficult because they require more heat to solder. Same with sterling silver. I have never had any problems getting my 14k yellow gold cz rings sized, not in 30 years, but no jeweler will touch my sterling silver ones.
I found this marquis ring and always thought it was fake,till I noticed a 14kt. than a L.1 stamp on the band
Very good...👍...indonesia...
Moissanite I really wish I knew about it because excuse me space diamond or earth diamond SPACE please, jewelry industry really should've sold it with that as it's calling card because excuse me that is so damn incredible! I'm on the hunt for a real moissanite, keep your earth diamonds
Huh? Moissanites are not a natural stone. Not on Earth at least. You cannot mine moissanites from our planet. Moissanites are from outer space that landed here on Earth from a comet or a meteor. But its chemical composition can be found here in our planet, that’s why it can only be recreated in a lab, because the Earth cannot naturally produce it. But yes, I agree that it is it’s own stone different from a diamond but look similar, actually more beautiful.
Its true that most mossianite is found in Meteorites, but small amounts have actually been found in the Green River Formation in Wyoming, and in some Kimberlite formations in Russia. It's extremely rare both in meteorites and upper mantle rock. So you are correct, there's not enough in the earth to be mined, it has to be created in the lab, but it has been found in very small amounts in the earth. 🙂This GIA article is from the 90's so it's admittedly a bit dated, but goes more in depth on the terrestrial sources of moissanite: www.gia.edu/doc/Winter-1997-Gems-Gemology-Synthetic-Moissanite-Diamond-Substitute.pdf
Are colored moissanites more harder and expensive to find than a non colored moissanite stone?
Natural moissanite is far too rare and small; none of the moissanite you can buy in jewelry will be "found". It will all be grown. The price difference between a white and colored moissanite will probably be dependent upon the market more than any technical difference.
I have no knowledge of stones but i can tell the difference between the two straight away. A diamond has a deeper colour to it. Where as Moissanite is more clear and white looking.
I think that many connoisseurs know that
moissanite is an artificial stone often used in jewelry and serves as a budget replacement for real diamonds. Some experts argue that this stone will not be able to compete with diamonds. This is not so, he has already outstripped it primarily in price, and is not inferior to beauty. Products from it are a wonderful gift to your loved ones. Recommend.
"Artificial" is not the same as "synthetic," which is what she's claiming these stones are.
can i get a black moissanite?
Great
Boa tarde muito bom parabéns venho deixar meu joinha
Visually, price and durability-wise, moissanite totally wins out. Why do people still ask questions like, 'are they real?' Yes, moissanites, and even zirconias, are real gem stones.
If you can make lab grown diamonds can you make lab grown medals like the gold the silver the rose gold how is that actually made
My bf took me into a Moissanite only jewellery store.. i fell in love, i want 2 engagement rings 😩
So Legendary, so smart, so rare, thank u mistress, but I can not afford diamond 💍😆
Hello Abby
I just bought both . Ra
Pardon me for being thick, if it comes out of a lab it's not a natural stone surely?
Charles & Colvard best moissanite jewelry on the market!
FO H&A are really great stones, but BTD "Amora Eternity" is crown king now!
I purchased a moissanite in a marquis shape and I HATE it. Maybe round ones are better? It looks nothing like a diamond.
It's all in the cut. Yours must have been badly cut. Even white sapphires can look just like diamonds if the cut is right. I even have white topaz that looks like a diamond because the cut is just right. That's always been the trick with white topaz; it usually looks like a piece of glass, but mine, sparkles like a diamond. I was very surprised.
E Dennis you are probably right. It just has no shone or luster - it looks like plastic
Nice, i have
Moissanite for sale!
I had a Moissanite ring and I currently have a diamond ring. I didn’t mind the look of the moissanite, but it got this cast of I don’t know what to call it. It was as if someone dipped my ring in lotion and you couldn’t clean it off. Try as I did, I couldn’t bring the sparkle through that permanent film. Turns out it is a common thing with moissanites. Can that be removed? I am not sure, I have seen UA-cam videos on it, but never tried it as it looked like a huge process. That is the reason I would never purchase one again. My current ring gets cleaned with water and dish soap and it looks new in minutes! I love my diamond ring!
Have you tried soaking it in warm soapy water and then scrubbing with a tooth brush? Here's a video on ring cleaning from home I made: ua-cam.com/video/6HhWA8hcWVQ/v-deo.html
If that doesn't work I would contact the jeweler you got your ring from and see if they can have it professionally cleaned for you. I always recommend having your ring professionally cleaned and inspected at least once per year.
bake it. Look it up on the internet, but if you bake your CZs it will permanently make them sparkle. There's instructions on how to do it
Buy a Connoisseurs diamond dazzle stick, they ain't too expensive to buy (try eBay) and you get a lot of cleans with them, absolutely fantastic for bringing the sparkle back in your moissanite so well worth the money, absolute bargain really and the stick cleans all different types of precious gemstones and gold/silver jewellery. It only take's about 5 minute's I would say max to clean a ring and that's being very thorough as I'm quite a perfectionist especially when it comes to cleaning my engagement ring (never again will I be going back to the jeweller's for a "professional clean" as that was exactly what he had used on my ring anyway).. A little tip I also find very useful: use hot water (not boiling) before the clean and when rinsing after the clean.. Hope this helps :)
This is another reason why I prefer diamonds offer moissanite or a good quality cz. I have both and after a year or 2 the stone becomes cloudy, but they are so cheep that you could buy a new one. Diamonds tend to keep there sparkle and not get cloudy.
Snap-Shot-AHP Cz are inexpensive. But a good Moissanite runs around 450 a carat. When you account for a jeweler handling the gemstone and so on it adds up. We spent a significant chunk on my diamond engagement ring, but it really will last forever. I told my husband if we can spend thousands and thousands on a car that we will own for way less than my ring, then we can spend the amount we spent on my ring... it’s been 3 years and I’ve never ever had any issue with my ring, and I have never looked at it and thought why did we do this, or woah I should have gotten something else. I’m learning that sometimes saving a bit ends up costing more in the long run.
I'm manufacturer moissanite make good cut and shape
I just bought my moissanite ring online, and surprise it got its own certificate and I scan the QR code, key-in the code and prove that my moissanite ring its genuine.. WOW!!
i searched this video so i could learn how to pronounce moissanite lol
It's a genuine gem in it's own right.. but lab grown are common. I love mine.. it's sparkle gets more attention.. Ps. I diamond is not formed over (during) millions of years.
They formed 3 BILLION years ago and , then they sat there, waiting for us for millions of years to discover them. Diamonds are carbon and Moissanite is silicon carbide
IS MOISSANITE A LAB DIAMOND ?
