I loved the way you broke it down about the difference in the three stone. I love diamonds, but I love my moissanite much better. I have a beautiful ring I purchased from Amazon. I bought my first piece in March of 2022, and nothing has changed, It still sparkles and looks exactly the same from when I first bought it. I never take it off and it still blows me away everyday, simply beautiful. And I did not spend a ton of money.
Good for you! It definitely sounds beautiful. And thank you for the kind words, I'm happy to help! 🙏
A diamond cutter faceted my moissanite. You absolutely cannot imagine this kind of brilliance; One lady even picked up my hand by the solitaire stone just to look at it! Okay, that pissed me off, but I'm glad she was impressed. I may never wear my diamonds again, lol. Moissies go by millimeter. An 8mm is around 2.7 "carats". A diamond twinkle and glimmer beautifully. Moissanites throw rainbows in your face. I have never seen CZ that pretty. I learned something new, thank you!
Nothing compares to moissy like, it's so much better idk why you would want diamonds. Literally, if it wasn't so rare we'd be saying moissanite is a woman's best friend
I agree man, I would take the moissy any day over the diamonds 👊
Diamond are n9t rare they already admitted it was a campaign to cause inflation and make it popular back then pearls was that one
And moissy is from space meteorite rocks
Diamonds are not even that rare. It's a marketing trick.
Think about natural moissanite is even more rare on earth, diamond is just a scam😂
I genuinely enjoyed this video! Honestly the best breakdown of the 3!!! 👏🏾 👏🏾
I’ve purchased all 3 stones for my wife. She loves the diamond and moissanite stones. She never wears the CZ due to the poorer looking quality. All of her diamond jewelry cost me a pretty penny and the moissanite was very reasonable for the quality and size you get. I’m looking at getting a new wedding band in silver for myself with a row of moissanite all the way around.
Bro... The diamonds for sure cost you! I'm sure they're beautiful though! The wedding band that you're talking about sounds beautiful! Were you going to be getting it dipped or just straight silver?
@@FromADistanceJewelry I’m just shopping around to see if I can find something that catches my eye which would resemble what I’m picturing. So far I’ve only found them in CZ but I want moissanite. And I only want the ring in silver. I have a gold band that I wear with my gold jewelry and not looking to replace it. Maybe I’ll wait until you get your store up and running and see what you have. I wish you the best with the store.
@@exkal215 hey man, the fact that you would even throw that out there means more than you know. Hopefully it'll be as great as I want it to be. Would love to get you guys some good stuff if I can. And if I come across anything in the meantime that might resemble what you're looking for I will definitely reach out!
What an amazing breakdown, so glad I found your channel, very informative. When you open your jewelry store I can't wait to purchase 💎
Hey Brandon! I'm so grateful that you found this channel as well. I appreciate having good people like you within the community! Thank you all so so much for supporting my store even though it is not yet up and running! So grateful for that support, truly appreciate it and can't wait to bring you guys the best that I can!
Thanks for the knowledge bro.
When it comes to gemstones I have no clue what I’m looking at, so I’ve always stayed away.
Hey, J! It's a privilege to help! I know what you mean, there are so many different types of stones on the market that you might become paralyzed and not make any purchase at all. I've been there, that's exactly why I wanted to make this video!
Where did you get that bracelet its beautiful
I have dozens of different style CZ rings. Different shape stones and cuts. They are made with Swarovski CZs. Let me tell you, they are the most beautiful. brilliant, sparkling stones I have EVER had. Precision perfect cuts, clarity, and D flawless. Everytime someone sees them, they are blown away. They look better than my real diamonds, and I have some nice diamonds.
Can't wait for you to open up your store will definitely rooting for you my man. Thank you as always for the great content.
Me too bro, I'm excited! Thanks so much for always supporting bro! Truly means a lot! ✊🙏😄
@@FromADistanceJewelry no doubt my brotha ✊🏾
Moissanite is definitely beautiful. I have a tennis bracelet & a eternity band & the sparkle is amazing.
It all has to do with refractive index. Moissanite has a higher refractive index than diamond that is why it has more fire. It bends the light more so you can see the different colors.
I saw a nice emerald cut moissanite solitaire ring. It was lovely
You really can't go wrong with moissy!!
Great video & agree whole heartedly. Keep dropping knowledge to the population of the unwise. Knowledge + Wisdom = Understanding
Thank you so much bro! I really and truly appreciate that you found value in this video and that it made sense. I hope it continues to help others! Appreciate you!! ✊
in terms of fire brilliance and sparkle, all stones yes including the hardest, your glorious diamonds will pale in comparison to Moissanite.
I absolutely must agree my friend!
I love moissanite! I got hold of a 3 Carat round Brilliant cut stone with Excellent cut. It blew my mind of the quality and fire! I love stones and all stones have their special quirk. But Moissanite has a special place in my heart and i love the extreme fire that they have! Very good choice!
The CZ and the moissanite has more fire to it then the natural diamond
Yea, in this case it does. Like I mentioned in the video, this particular diamond doesn't have the best cut to it but even if you had a completely flawless diamond the moissanite would always come out on top when it comes to refraction rate/fire.
That’s what I was gonna say as well I own two cz pieces of high quality and they shine hella but honestly it all comes down to what you like personally in my opinion rock what you wanna rock but at the end of the day diamonds are way more expensive then the other two options
Wow tour wifes ring looks amazing
Thank you, I love it lol.
Mois is 💯 better than real diamonds I’ve several of diamond rings and earrings but I’ve bought mois for a few years now and the sparkle is so beautiful I’ve a full bracelet tennis bracelet each 1 is 1ct have earrings rings 1,2,3,and 5 ct and the rainbow colours are beautiful
I agree, 💯 night and day difference. 👌👌👌
A other great video bro! I listen to you the whole way almost 30min.. lol 😆 but was a good lesson or advice on purchasing stones and saving a good amount of money keep up the good work 👏
FYI cubaknow just put a video on the same topic.
Haha, thanks for hanging in there bro! I'm so happy that everything I said seemed to make sense. Oh really? I'm going to have to check out his video! I also have to catch up on your stuff too, just been so busy. Thanks for the heads up!
You are the good demonstration that jewls with brilliants (like tennis) are not only for women!!! The men love it very much too! No match if moissanite, fabulite, diamond, cz ou yag brilliant... Or you don't wear this brilliants jewels?
I have a moissanite stone 5 carat but i think the smaller ones with brilliant cut would be more ideal for a jewellery
Wow, that still must be beautiful! But yes, I agree that smaller ones would definitely be more ideal depending on the jewelry.
May I please know the company you purchased your wife's wedding ring from? My fiance and I are looking for the perfect cushion cut moissanite for my next ring and the one you got for your lady is absolutely beautiful and looks of amazing quality.
Hey, it's definitely great quality! I purchased from them more than a few times and I've always been happy. Here's a link!
www.moissaniteco.com/
You are convincing me towards moissonite (vs cz), but Chinese cheap moissonite, not Us expensive moissonite.
What about birefringence in moissonite? Cz and diamons haven't, so is it detectible on big moissanite like that in your ring? I dislike the blurred effect on the angles caused by birefringence.
Easy just write something on white paper with blue ink and put the stone with facedown view and if you are able to read the letters than that's not real diamond. That's because due to different light entry into the stones (different kind of stones different light reflections)
No bro, i did the test like you said , moissanite is different you cannot see through it , same like a diamond , believe me i did the test just now
Thank you both for weighing in! ✊
I Love moissanite! I have diamonds but I feel moissanite is so much prettier
I have an old silver Jesus piece, not sure what the stones are in it but they look amazing, the pendant is old and the silver has turned almost all black, but the stones still shine, might be some very good cz’s but not aure
Interesting! It could definitely be CZ but you'd be able to tell using a cheap tester I'm sure. Either way, as long as they still look good! You can polish that baby up and take it out for a spin!
@@FromADistanceJewelry It’s almost all black from tarnishing, I cleaned it a few years ago with the baking soda/aluminum foil method and it came out nice but started turning black in a day or two, sadly it just sits in a drawer now but I’ve had it for over 20 years and it was old when I bought it
@@206davejust use the aluminum method from time to time and it should be good
Btw the srones are likely cz (cz isn't bad but since you don't smash your jewelry the stones are perfect
i just started my jewelry collection and most my stuff is Moissanite and a few cz pendants ( anime and video game stuff) personally i love Moissanite since super affordable compared to diamonds. my cz pendants and a few bracelets look nice enough that i dont mind wearing either way its no ones business on what jewelry i got on lol
Sounds fascistic my friend! Congrats on the beginning of something amazing!
Could you please link the tennis bracelet
I think moissanite is better than diamonds way better It's a disco ball on your finger or ear or wrist etc... CZ is a good replacement for diamonds if you can afford diamonds and it's for marriage then get a diamond. If you have a huge honeymoon planned then go for CZ. I have a pendant with CZ or Moissanite and i have taken it to school , slept with it and beat it up totally fine. it catches eyes and attention. side note if your looking for a flashy chain that is good for day to day use and catches eyes a merirner works great. keep it a low mm though. oh and will you still do 19 inch 3 mm merirner with a 20 inc 4mm rope. thanks and sorry because this comment is so long. bye!
Thanks for dropping your valuable opinions bro! And no need to apologize at all, you can leave as many comments, as long as you want! Lol. Are you asking me to do a comparison with a 3 mm Mariner and 4mm rope? If you've mentioned it in the past I'm sorry that I forgot about it. At one point all of my requests got erased so that might be why. Am I correct that you want me to do this comparison? I'll put it on the list and get working on it if so. Thanks bro!
Yes you are correct
@@AmelBg00d ok bro! Will put on list and get to asap
The diamond you use for comparison is a reject quality so it is not fair to compare it to fine cz and top quality moissanite!
Also moissanite and cz develops grime overtime that is difficult to clean coz they are porous making them look cloudy and hazy overtime and it is very difficult to clean them.
Diamonds on the other hand are easy to clean.
Dimond
Cz is a fake diamond and moissanite is a crystal gemstone just like diamond but moissanite has more fire colour place and better quality and size. Also moissanite is almost as hard as diamonds and a fraction of the cost and tests as diamond on a potable diamond tester. Cz is visually no different but you better if getting man made diamonds which are almost perfect quality at the fraction of the cost and is exactly the same as a real diamond.
La moissanita es mas dura que cz pero no se acerca a la dureza de un diamante en realidad ! la escala de mohs es aproximada .amo moissanita porque es unica y no tiene nada que envidiarle a un diamante ..ademas soy un chico q le gusta el espacio 😊
Cz
I gave Moissanite a go. The one I bought was top quality. There were two things off about it: the disco ball effect, & a whitish look. Even you compared it to a diamond. It is so grossly overpriced as a synthetic, manmade stone. Charles & Colvard invented lab made Moissanite and they’re selling rings for several thousand dollars. The resale value is the cost of the precious metal only. It most definitely IS trying to be a diamond. Comparing its cost to a diamond is a deceptive marketing ploy. Mined diamonds are a scam too: overpriced and not as rare as the industry claims. Don’t go into debt for jewelry. Lab grown CVD & HPHT diamonds are diamonds. They cost significantly less than mined diamonds. Moissanite is an over-hyped, hideously overpriced scam. It looks like a fake diamond.
Hola tienes razon en todo ... yo tengo un anillo de moissanite de 2 carats de marca gra lo compre en aliexpres y son mas baratos que los de charles y colvard y puedo decirte que la piedra es hermoza ..quiero un diamante algun dia !😅 pero esperare que los cultivados bajen mas de precio 😊
Correct me if im wrong but Cubic Zirconia is not a gemstone, its a simulant because its essentially plastic or some other synthetic material simulating a diamond, natural zircon on the other hand is a gemstone
You are correct! CZ is basically glass, LoL. Zircon is an actual gemstone.
That’s right: it’s a manmade fake. So is Moissanite. Forget all the stardust outer space bs. Natural Moissanite that was found by Henri Moissan was rare, very small, & not gem grade. Any Moissanite on the market is as fake as a CZ. He’s right about how mined diamonds are overpriced. He’s also right about not going into debt for an engagement ring. Look into CVD/HPHT diamonds.
@@ToND1Ne Correction: All moissanite is lab created, yes, but it's chemically the same as natural moissanite. Cubic zirconia does not have a natural counterpart. Just like a lab diamond, though man made, is the same chemically and optically as a natural diamond.
Moissy and
My man looked dead in the camera and said “I beat my moissanite up” lol great video 👍🏼
🤣 thank you brother! Glad to help! 🙌
Diamonds increased in value overtime! The Archduke Joseph Diamond was sold in 1996 for $6.5 million dollars but sold again at auction in 2012 for nearly $22 million dollars! Natural color diamonds are truly rare!
Moissanite have no resale value! No pawnshops will accept them!
Only natural diamonds of significant size and nearly flawless have any real resale value. The only reason diamond is considered top dog is it's been around for sooo long!
Moissanite outperforms diamond in brilliance, fire, luster, and clarity. It's only second in hardness.
Yes you're right, moissanite fire is a bit too much , fancy brilliant cut like cushion cut or princess cut in 1 or 2 carat will be hard to tell between a diamond and moissanite , the bigger the stone the faker it gets
Yea, I know what you mean bro! That fire really does get pretty insane and the large you go the less people will believe it for sure.
