Moissanite!

viwanton — Sat, 01 Feb 2014 21:24:07 GMT

I recently bought a 1 ct Moissanite solitaire on another shopping channel and I am IN LOVE! I swear, it looks like they made a mistake and put a flawless diamond in the setting. Will definitely be going back for more!

If you want more, wait until after 2015 (I think) when the patent expires. If it behaves like CZs, it will drop like a stone--no pun intended.

I have several pieces and love them. Larger stones may have a yellow/green/grey tint that don't show in smaller stones.

I hope prices go down after the patent expires, but the cost to produce this stone is high so I am not counting on it.

I love Moissanite and have many pieces. Give me Moissanite any day over Diamonique.

Fyi.... I have some larger stones and none of them have a yellow/green/grey tint. Mine are all bright white, even the ones that are 15 yrs old.

I too love Moissanite! I have the 2 carat (1carat per ear) stud earrings and a pair of hoop earrings that were recently offered as a Brilliant Find over there. All of the stones are so beautiful and sparkly, and I get many compliments whenever I wear them.

I have heard about the patent expiration forever. It was suppose to be last year or the year before etc. I finally went ahead last year and bought 2 ct total stud earrings and love them. They look more like diamonds than CZs.

I have no hesitation about wearing diamond ""substitutes"" but all of the Moissanite I've ever seen is not sparkly or white or brilliant like good diamonds. Is there a particular brand of Moissanite that I should be looking at?

Everyone has been waiting for the patent to expire. It's 2015 in the US and 2016 in other countries. Don't think it will be as cheap as cz's but the prices will definitely drop -supply and demand 101

Viwanton - I saw a 1 ct solitaire on air a few shows ago and wanted it so badly. Is it on a thin band? I loved it. Waiting for 2015 to roll around and for prices to go down on Moissanite and then I've diving in.

In my opinion, moissanite is completely different from CZ. Moissanite is far superior! I can honestly say that I'd rather have moissanite than diamonds. Really. I have several pieces and they are all amazing. The prices (today) are extremely reasonable for what one gets. I also happen to secretly love the fact that the stones are created and not involved in the whole ("forgive me for saying this") "racket" known as the global diamond industry. Just my humble opinion......

I love moissanite! I'm sensitive to the colors on it so I tend to see the tint even on the enhanced stones. But it does not matter..I love it anyhow!!

Many years ago I purchased two stones and set them in 14k stud findings. I had wanted larger diamond studs than the ones I already had, but really didn't want to spend that much (for the quality I would require). I don't like CZs because they just look like cut glass.

So I got these Moissanite stones and made studs with them and they are stunning. They look exactly like diamonds I own. I've even gotten compliments on my stunning 'diamond' earrings from jewelers.

Moissanite is really amazing - oh, and it's not tinged in green like some would have you think. I have a little 1carat diamond solitaire pendant, that I've had for decades. It is stunning in color and clarity. If you put these Moissanite stones next to it you will not tell the difference.
