  • GIA Grad + Founder and Front Man of F&B Michael walks us through potential downsides of moissanite.
    1. Highly included and low clarity moissanite are unavailable for those that prefer lower quality gemstones.
    2. Moissanite sparkles more than diamond which may be a downside for those that do not prefer it.
    3. 2nd hardest gemstone next to only diamond.
    4. Natural gemstone enthusiasts may not like the idea of man-made gems.

    "One is lab created, and one you can find in mother earth, so if you find that is more valuable to find one that is created in mother earth...." I'd rather pay a scientist to grow a rock than a laborer to mine one. Moissanite is nice, happy to have bought one.

    Moissanite is coming for the diamond industry and I’m here for it!

    A Summary for this of you who don't want to watch it all: there are no cons to moissanite. It is not as hard a diamond so therefore a diamond is more durable but it is still very hard and harder than anything else besides diamond. So the fact that it's not as hard isn't really a negative or a con because it's an obsolete. It's cheaper,shines more. more ethical. There is no possible argument with substance that diamond is better. Wake up. This is the way to go. Also yes it's made in labs but before they learned how to make it,it was discovered in meteor craters. Its a space gem. How cool is that. Screw diamond and the global cartel that keeps the price artificially high

    That moment where all of the cons of moissanite are actually cons of diamonds 😉

    I bought a ring online, vendor said it was Morganite. I thought it's color was dark, but, for 60.00, worth a shot. Immediately knew it was no Morganite. Went to a jeweler, he said it was Mossanite, a good one!! I had no idea what it was. Moissanite is a natural stone, who knew? It is huge, and wow!!! What shine, sparkle!! I got a good deal, cuz they had no idea.....it is 6 carats!! Big!! And I am happy, will never buy a diamond again!!

    I got my first moissonite a few months ago. It's gorgeous. My mother had the same size and shape diamond ...I use to clean it so I know that my moissonite looks just a bit better than her diamond.

    Here in LA there have been so many recent thefts and muggings that I wanted to get something that I could wear, instead of wearing my expensive diamond wedding ring, without fear of it being stolen - a "stunt ring" if you will. So I buy a Moissanite ring. It's SO GORGEOUS I can't even believe it. I am head over heels over it and wear it all the time now. Diamond sits in the safe.

    The only down side is on the jewelry store side. The can’t sell their diamonds because Moissanite is very hard, and if cut correctly, it’s just as beautiful as a Diamond. I’m shopping for a Moissanite.

    Moissanite was first discovered many many years ago when a meteorite was found on Earth, so originally it comes from outer space but because it comes in tiny amounts when meteorites fall into our atmosphere. It then is lab grown using the same ingredients to create a Moissanite

    Thank you so very much for all of these videos! After a lot of research and your help I have finally narrowed down my choice. I just sent in a request for a quote from you. I'm nervous but feel confident in my stone choice and in using FAB!!

    I'm wearing a beautiful wedding band with 5 gorgeous moissanite gems. The sparkle is to die for. I have several high quality diamonds in 3 shapes but none of them sparkle like these. I have bought seven moissanite rings and earrings and all but one (princess cut) have dazzling sparkle.

    Definitely prefer Moissanite to Diamonds, I don’t want to look down at my ring and be like which poor soul mined their fingers bloody to find this for labor worth pennies 😕 Sorry Marilyn Monroe Moissanites are a girls best friend now lmao 😂

    I have a dark brown Moissanite. It looks almost like a black diamond -except for the rainbows. It still makes rainbows even though it's dark.
