Moissonite - Page 2

I chose to replace my original wedding set with moissonite. The jeweler that saw my rings asked me where I found such beautiful set of rings

Moissonite is the same atomic weight as a diamond ,and it has more fire ,and is whiter and i think harder

I have had so many compliments on my rings. I would not even touch a diamond again

Mine were not cheap, but no where the cost of a diamond this size. They are set in white gold, and come from Charles and Calvord, who pioneered the process of making this stone

All my moissanite is also from C&C. My DH just got me their 5 stone anniversary band in August for our 5 year anniversary. All I can say is OMG. I know that this quality, size and beauty in diamonds would cost a fortune. The band is made with a lot of gold. It's much more than I expected. It wasn't cheap either but it's far superior than any other diamond I have. On the cruise the lady at the jewelry store gasped and said, "Wow!".

Moissanite is tad softer than a diamond at around 9.25-9.50; it will last a lifetime. A diamond is a 10.

If this was for an engagement or wedding set, I could understand it if the couple had little money . . . but even then, I'd go for a plan band. Later, if I really wanted a diamond we would save and get the real deal in a quality stone which we could afford.

@BirkiLady. Wow, you're quite the expert on Moissanite. Have you ever even seen one? It's a beautiful, clear sparkly stone that in no way resembles a CZ. The sparkle equals or exceeds that of a diamond. I have one with approx. a 1ct center stone and I've had people spot it from across a room and come over asking to see it. Believe me, they have no idea its not a diamond!

Now, I suggest you go find your inner happiness and quit raining on other's parades.

I have a pair of 2.6 carat TW Moissanite studs set in 14k yellow gold that I picked up during a 50% off sale from JTV. They’re absolutely beautiful and I get compliments on them all the time. My original intent was to use them as travel jewelry and leave my diamonds locked up at home, but I now wear them all the time. I would purchase Moissanite again in a heartbeat.

I love diamonds and have many pieces that were either given to me or I bought myself. I would never put anyone down for wearing Moissanite, CZ's, costume jewelery or anything else they like. I wanted to give Moissanite a try so I just ordered a pair of 1 ct earrings from JTV. I bought my Mom 1/2 cts years ago but she mentioned that it would be nice to have 1 cts. When they come in I'll compair them to my 1 ct diamond earrings and if I don't like them then back they go and my Mom will get real diamonds.

We buy what we like and should not be put down for doing so.

To the original poster, I'm so glad you bought a beautiful ring that you love. Who cares if it's Moissanite, CZ or a diamond. All that matters is if you like it or not.

I'm sitting here wondering if you realize that for most people here buying "fake" has nothing to do with not being able to afford the real deal. Nothing.

I love Moissanite!! I have a pair of 1.5 Carat total weight earring studs, set in white gold. No one knows the difference. I have a 3 stone past present future ring totals 2 carats. I pair it with two 1 carat wedding bands that are real diamonds. No one can tell the diference. My husband wanted to buy me a 2 carat moissanite solitare. I said not right now. Oh also I wear them with my real 5 carat tennsi bracelet! NO ONE KNOWS THE DIFFERENCE! It's beautiful and wears very well! I would buy from a reputable jeweler. I know Helzburg Diamonds sells Moissanite. A fan here in Houston!!!

I bought a 5 stone anniversary 14K band - moissanite. Each stone represents husband, self, three children, so I call it my 'family' ring. I wanted something besides diamonds -- just over diamonds. Doubt if I'll ever buy another diamond. I like to stay active and travel and this band is the perfect solution for me. Recently bought a necklace with solitary stone. Stone is white zircon gemstone. I love it as much as if it was a diamond. Maybe more. If I could do it again, instead of first diamond engagement ring, I would have a London blue topaz stone surrounded by smaller gemstones.

Moissanite fools diamond testers. That's why they had to create a moissanite tester because even professional jeweler's were being fooled. I saw a clip online or a jeweler being embarrassed because he couldn't tell the difference using a loupe or a diamond tester.

@151949 I've been watching JTV off and on today. What is Moissonite Fire? I have always wanted a moissonite solitare, maybe 2 carats, but it has to be in real gold. JTV has had some beautiful pieces but I have never had good luck with clad jewelry. I have checked the C & C website and it is pricey. I have also talked to a reputable jeweler and he has nothing but good to say about moissonite.
