The fact that they had to cut the moissanite in a special way to turn down the fire says it all. If you want maximum bling and fire go for moissanite....
Great video. A lot of people never think of it in terms of opportunity cost vs. opportunity loss, and it really is. Money only goes so far, unless you've won the lottery or are wealthy. For the rest of us, a high cost diamond means not having money for something else. I can take that money instead and invest it into a Roth IRA 401K and have a lot more to show for it down the road. For some it means they have more to spend on the wedding or honeymoon, or it means a down payment on a modest home or a decent car. That is why you are right when you say there is no right answer. It really depends on the situation. People who are making snide comments about Moissanite being fake diamond, which it is not since it is a mineral in its own right, need to stop being judgmental. It's not their money, and not everyone wants a small diamond. Many times, but not always, a woman prefers a larger stone when given the choice. I know I do, and I know there are much better things to do with our money!
Agree, Diamond prices are manipulated, Invest that money, you will be thankful .
Amen! I recently bought a moissanite engagement ring and have no regrets. Bigger for stone for soooo much less money!
Just want you to know Michael, youre doing a great thing for everyone. Game changer. Youre not even selling. You are the real deal trying to educate rather than throw out a sales pitch. An inspiration in these competitive times. Thank you sir for all that youre doing for all the future generations. Its time to end all the brainwashing of old #GreatAwakening

Hello Nick! Thanks for taking some time out of your day to watch our UA-cam Channel. It's only 8am in California and your comment just made my day as well as a few members of the Fire & Brilliance team! I appreciate the nice words. - Michael
Yes I agree great guy very informative.. My wife recently lost her wedding set. I look forward to purchasing her replacement engagement and wedding band from FAB.
Lab diamonds are so beautiful but still ridiculously expensive
Agreed, or I'd be looking at one instead of Moissanite. You may even be able to buy an "estate" diamond for a similar price to the lab diamond, if you are not into the Moissanite due to the "blood diamond" or environmental issue.
Every beautiful thing is expensive !

The Patent on Moissanite has expired, and there are many cutters and Producers of Moissanite now. Moissanite is just another Ultra expensive Imitation Diamond. Moissanites only look somewhat OK in small-sized Round shapes. Have you seen a Fancy shape Moissanite Ugh? Moissanite represents everything we have grown to dislike about imitations; Too glassy, too white [in the case of moissanite, too green], too foggy, not transparent, It doesn't match my Real Diamonds, and the list continues. Your Best Value is a Benzgem Alternative Diamond; It will knock your socks off.

Just bought a 3.0 ct MOISANNITE round stud earrings. I like the screw back earrings.
I've been sold on synth moissanite for a long time now, thank you for posting this very informative video! :)
Great reveal difference between the Diamond, Chatham lab and Moissanite stones. I'd like to see similar video using different lighting, High and low UV and red and green lazer lights for refraction comparison. Also, indoor, outdoor, natural light, low-high indoor lighting. Giving the price comparison was highly appreciated

Folks don’t realize that a Lab grown diamond is a diamond. This moissanite is absolutely beautiful. Not all moissanite have that sparkling fire. Some look like glass. Who would want that? Good work.
How un cut natural diamond identify?
Thank you look beautiful

I barely see the difference 😂😭😭💯😫 and the crazy thing is you can test it and it will show up as a diamond that’s crazy
Can yu put moissanite stone in a gold teeth
Can we buy our own band and allow you guys to install the moisanite into it
Does all three stones test as a diamond in the diamond tester device?
It depends how sophisticated the tester is. Many jewelers have basic hand-held thermal conductivity testers. Diamonds, regardless if it is natural or lab-grown, will pass these testers. Moissanite will pass most of these testers as long as it does not have the feature to detect moissanite. Thanks!
Are you in California?
Walmart has lab created diamond jewelry and they are really brilliant..cost is affordable
Wow you are gorgeous!
Def jam gemstone 😊

Are there different grades of Moissanite?
Jeanette Gibbs yes, colorless (d-e-f color) and near colorless ( g-h-I color)
Does Chatham only make round lab diamonds? I checked your website and you only had round shape!
We do not carry many lab diamonds on our site at the moment. However, we do work with Chatham and can provide you with many more options. Feel free to reach out and one of our Jewelry Consultants will be happy to assist. Thanks! fireandbrilliance.com/pages/contact-us
If you take Moissanite and heat it under flame from Bic lighter for 1 min. & then quench it immediately in water - does the internal cubic shatter like that of CZ !!!????
Moissanite has a very high heat tolerance. Higher than that of diamonds.
I mean…makes sense. They came from meteorites.
No it won’t
Thanks for the video, but the way the light reflected off of the moissanite, did it a huge disservice compared to the way the light shown on the other two stones
Baloney they were all similar..
Just so you know, it is CHAT-UM. The h is not pronounced. :) Love your geminars.:)
Duly noted! :) Thanks for tuning in! - Michael
I thought moissanite would be more expensive than lab diamonds because moissanite grows natural like a diamond. Diamond hardness is 10.0 and moissanite is 9.5. Lab diamonds have no value nor is there a market for it yet. This is what I learned from other jewelers. CZ is an alternative to diamonds but not moissanite because it's in a class to itself. A lot of people are going with moissanite because it's cheaper and has better clarity.
If lab diamonds are elemental real diamonds how do you reconsile that moissanite is better than lab diamonds? My bet is margins on lab diamons are skinny for brokers vs. Moissanite.
Moissanite is lab grown. It's only naturally found in meteorites.
Honestly don’t believe everything you hear on UA-cam. Moissanite is lab grown and certainly does not cost 5 or so thousand for a 1 carat stone. There are jewellery on Etsy who sell stunning jewellery and you can pick yourself up a stunning 4 carat solitaire 18k ring for that price.
Most of the market for lab grown diamonds is actually industrial. They're used for things like diamond tipped drill bits and are actually better for industrial purposes because, when made properly, they have no imperfections
@@stablecoinstaking2527 Moissanite reflects lights better than natural or lab diamonds. It's refractive index is higher & it's fire dispersion is higher. So it's more intense with brilliance.
Lab and natural diamond as well as moissanite all come in the standard color and clarity grades (although moissanite is usually not graded) . The biggest difference is not distinguishable by the eye...because it’s the hardness of the moissanite that differs from ANY diamond...lab or grown, and the difference is only 9.5 (moi) to 10 (dia). You can match colors and clarities of all three stones...apples to apples.
I believe moissanite could become obsolete as a jewelry gem once grown diamonds come down in price. They are used as a relatively inexpensive diamond substitute.
a few diamonds for investment, moissanite to wear around 💁🏼♂️
Diamonds are about the worst things to buy for an investment
Why does a moissanite test like a real diamond then? Lab created do not. The interest is going to collect higher on a diamond then any other stone. Remember that.
you will get maybe half of what you paid if you're lucky. Theres no interest in diamonds
Lab created diamonds test as diamonds because they ARE diamonds. All three, mined and lab diamonds and moissanite have reliable resale value, but you're not going to get a great return on any of them, unless you have an heirloom-quality mined diamond.
I have some old diamond jewelry legacy from my parents around 50 year, 10 CT +-
I intend to sell, is there anyone interested?
My position is in Jakarta, Indonesia. Thank you.
Most people likely have never seen a natural.
Selamat sori saya punya bongkahan batu permata rencana mau di jual terimakasih
I'm not trying to rain on your parade or be mean or nasty in any way. I love moissanite. I insisted that my engagement ring be moissanite. I do not see it as a cheap stand in for a diamond. Rather a beautiful gem unto itself that in my opinion is far prettier and more interesting than the mainstream diamond every thinks you must have. My choice wasn't made based on budget, I could have had any gem I wanted. Moissanite is just way cooler than a stale, stuffy old diamond. Save the diamonds for your 85 yr old grandmother's gawdy cocktail ring! Lol. That being said, here's the part where you're not gonna like me anymore. Lol. Everything you said in this 11 minute vid could literally have been said in 30 seconds. You truly repeated the same thing over and until I felt like a rat was trying to claw it's way out of my brain! 😂😂😂. So thx very much for showing the 3 stones side by side and naming each with a ball park price. Although honestly as you hold them in ur hand and I look at them on my cell phone, the difference that can be seen in ur video is negligible. Lol. My last thought is this. Why would anyone want to "fix the problem" of moissanite having too much fire? That isn't a problem. It's part of what makes moissanite a beautiful and unique gem unto itself. To dull it down to try to turn it into a diamond lookalike seems more of a "problem" to me. If you want a crappy lookalike go to Wal-Mart and buy urself a cheap cz and call it a day. But leave my moissanite alone! 😂
I just bought me my first pair of mossanite earrings and absolutely impress. Team mossanite!!
Even if the price of good quality diamonds came way down so the price was comparable to diamonds, I'd still prefer a moissanite. Like you, I find the fire and colour is what's more appealing than diamonds.
I promise you I cannot see a difference
It's amazing to hear videos like this which spew nonsensical statements and are amazingly uninformative! Just listen carefully to what this guy is saying....who needs to be told that these products look and sparkle "relatively the same"??? Yeeesh....

I just think the moiossanite is not as beautiful as the diamonds. I would go with lab grown instead.
So these are fake..?
Not fake but different. If someone tried to pass off a moissanite or lab grown diamond as a natural diamond, then and *only* then is it fake. Moissanite is a beautiful gem in its own right.
YOU CAN HYPE MOISSANITE AND TALK IT UP ALL YOU WANT, AND IT WILL STILL NEVER EVER COMPARE TO THE BEAUTY OF A DIAMOND.
All are made from carbon but diamonds are structuraly harder than Moissanite and natural diamond according to mining difficulties will stay rare. Here is my opinion on these stones: the Lab grown diamond and the moissanite will get cheaper and cheaper with time and new technology. There are devices tools to identify each one and to do the difference in between those. The only good past investment was natural diamond. In 1970, the cost of a one carat was about 10 times less than today. Here is my point: I would suggest to buy Natural diamond if you are offering it to a wife for life and to have a valuable stone to transfer after your life to your future legacy. I suggest moissanite to flash when you have no cash but you can still buy simple gold bands without stones to reflect your union.
Moissanite has no resale value .
It does, but the value will be 30-40% of what you paid for it.
Neither do diamonds lol
I am sorry but this is a stupid video, he does not say how to distinguish one from another only mentioning the differences in color and price.
To distinguish you need: a modern diamond tester, or a trained jeweler, or a very good eye.
