Was just wondering if any of you have the Charles Winston  moissanite jewelry that JTV sells?  If so, how do you like it?

Yes, I have quite a few of his pieces.  I especially like my stud earrings.  The band rings are beautiful and I have a few solitaires.  They are bright white...in fact, when I wear my very high quality diamond near it, my diamond doesn't have the same brilliance.  That's what makes me a little hesitant about the large stones.  They are so bright white, dazzling, and perfect ...almost too perfect but they're gorgeous and very high quality.  I have a cross that is made with  smaller and it looks more like a real diamond.  I think you'd be pleased with one of his pieces.

I have  a small 5 stone band in platineve,  It really does flash.  I have had it a few years now.  It still flashes.  Good quality.  I am happy with this ring.

I have 2 rings:  a band, and a heart shaped center stone with small side stones in the platineve.  They are both gorgeous and made well. The color is white and is very brilliant.  I don't think you will be disappointed.  I would stay away from the gold plated as some reviewers have stated it starts to peal off after a while.

I have a lovely 1.25 caret pendant in the platineve. I plan to buy earrings to match.

Love it!  His earring backs are large, so the earring sets on the lobe just right.  Easier for older hands too.

I have only seen one piece up close and personal. It was absolutely stunning. It was worn by a woman who's husband could well afford the real thing. I have never seen such brilliance before. I think the key is they come in different grades just like a real diamond.

Moissanite diamonds are real diamonds, grown in a lab.

 

QVC sells some also.

 

I haven't pulled the trigger yet but I want one too

Yes, I do. I own a pair of studs set in 14k white gold. Love them. So sparkly. But my most sparkly ones from JTV are my Fabulite strontium titanate studs. omg they are beyond this world sparkly!...and they did not cost as much as the Moissanite studs and bigger, too.

Moissanite is not diamond. They are chemically different. Diamonds, lab made or genuine, are made of carbon. Moissanite is made of  silicon carbide, which does exist naturally in the earth, just not in large quanities.
