Grey is so perfect to me. Thank you!

I appreciate the knowledge! I get fairly upset if things I buy and hype up in my mind end up being disappointing. Of course that can still happen, but this should help me out.

Brilliant summary of gemstone color information! Thanks regarding the moissanite, that’s exactly what I was looking for!!!!

@@FireandBrilliance Hello, can the people who cut and shape the moissanites not do the DR (Double Refraction) as that easily separates it from a real diamond which has (SR) Single Refraction. We are not doing it here in Norway but why are the cutters still doing the Double Refraction. People who can't afford diamonds, we don't want to make them feel embarrassed. Food for thought.

[@davidstevens8122]

Really like you as a presenter. One quibble. Moissanite is named after Nobel Laureate Dr. Henri Moissan. Generally, names are not translated. In English, as in French, a single "s" can be pronounced with a zed sound OR with a sibilant sss sound, depending. A name like Moissan--outside of the USA, it appears-- is always pronounced the French way: Moissan, as if it had three s's. There. Thanks.That's off my chest. Now. The Fab Coloured Moissanite segment is interesting and, as always, very good, and detailed. Would you, however, do another segment, with emphasis on EACH colour of moissanite, each separately with different gradations of colour from lightest to darkest, please? For me, brown moissanite is of greatest interest, but I would like to see options. Perhaps an explanation as to why obviously *yellow* appearing stones are catagorised as *brown* could be mentioned? AND, if possible, either in the same tutorial or in a separate one if you'd rather, would you display each colour variation in an array of different CUTS-- as many as you have to show? I've seen these two ideas in action on other sites. I appreciate your channel more than most others. Even so, seeing colour and cut gradations would be a huge factor in determining as to WHERE I purchase stones, considering the disparity in the dollar values between Canadian and US currency. You, personally, are great, and yours is one of the very few-- well, two-- cut gemstone channels to which I subscribe. I hope that you'll do as I suggest. Your other viewers might appreciate your efforts as much as I would. Thank you for your attention. Happy New Year, 2024.

Very helpful information! Thank you!

[@Angiehere-1]

Thank you for the info on Moissanite!

[@TY-up1xp]

Thank you! Very informative and helpful. I always wanted a ring with a black stone, but most stones like onyx are too soft. It's good to know I can get a moissanite stone that's black. I don't mind heat treatment or irradiation, but I don't want stones with any other treatment (unless I have the money for an emerald, then I'd keep it treated with oil as I know that's routine).

[@corneliawalker8291]

I have learnt a lot from you in a short time. Am importing gemstone jewellery from India and needed some education before I spent any money. Thank you.

I have a 2 carat black diamond ring and a 2 carat moissanite ring. I love tricking people with the moissy if some nosey person says "That's not a real diamond." I then tell them "Yes, you're right. It's a moissanite. The black stone is the diamond!"

[@rogerhargreaves2272]

Thank you Michael. I’ve seen black diamond but not Moissanite. Thank you for this video. I own a one carat D Moissanite, among my collection of stones. Many of my stones are rough, I like the character of rough stones as they are unique. Stay safe. 👍 from Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿.

[@cathrynharrison4734]

I am in Wales too not seen many Moissanite in stores where are you finding yours? Ebey?

[@rogerhargreaves2272]

@@cathrynharrison4734 - Don’t trust eBay sellers unless you know they ate 100% legit. I got mine in a house clearing sale, it had the original paperwork with it and I tested it with “the Wand of truth” aka a diamond test pen which tests the electrical conductivity of a stone. If you see a Moissanite for sale on eBay for £5 for example, then it’s probably Cubic Zirconia. Going rate for a 1 carat Moissanite is near to £60. Buying online is risky as you can only see the stone once you get it, then if it’s not as described you have to send it back for a refund. Thrift stores are a good source, however during the pandemic, when they were open, you couldn’t actually examine the stone there and then. Good luck.

I am aiming to get red moissanite..even if it fades over time it will still be moissanite and will still shone as one.eventually may turn white which is fine 🙂

[@jamestyrer907]

I would like a vivid pink (Diamond color). Could the color coating be made permanent by using an ion implanter (used in the semiconductor industry) to apply it below the surface of the jewel?

just curious sir handsome ☺ how do you induce color in moissanite in lab process (not during/already faceted) thank you in advanced! 😊 God bless!

Do you plan to sell the grey stones? I don’t see them on your website. Also are you limited on the size of the stones? The size of stones seems a bit smaller. 🙂

[@1969LICA]

Hello Michael! Thank you for the valuable information, it’s a pity I didn’t know about it a couple of days ago, as I already bought a ring and earrings with green moissanite. I don’t get a sensible answer from the seller, is it possible somehow to check/understand now whether the stone itself is painted or is it its original color???

[@FireandBrilliance]

It's hard to say since we do not know the original source. A reputable moissanite jeweler should be able to give you a straight answer. Otherwise, it may be best to ask your jeweler to confirm with their moissanite supplier. Good luck!

[@synchronicity1470]

i saw a moissanite seller soaking moissanite jewelery in water. The coated ones tint the water the coated color. If you didn't want to totally go for it, I suppose you could saturate a q-tip and hold it to the stone to see if any color lifts.

[@Mysteryp7]

Hi, you mean temporary than how long is that temporary? Bc i bought a red moissanite 😅

[@tracymassie8605]

What can you expect the average price for a colored moissanite would be ? What color if it's coated would fade to say the six colors Blue - Yellow - Green - Brown - Black - Gray ? Would it be like the color of White ?

[@kattmanggomanggo]

The colors u mentioned are cheaper than the white Moissanite. In my opinion the most expensive is pink and purple. I have yet to see red. Prices very where u look. I bought a clear 2.5 ct Moissanite on Etsy for $300 and a blue 1ct Moissanite for $20 on Etsy. Then I got a near white 2.8 ct Moissanite from eBay for $5 and a brown 9.8 ct from eBay for $10.

On aliexpress you can buy 2 k for 60 too 80 dolars 8 mm stone

[@Webkinzlover064]

How long, on average, do the temporary coated colours last?

[@margaritavazquez2538]

When I saw this video name the story of the Pearl that's the one that I'm talking about that they open the oyster take out the Pearl and implant another one and then they save it they don't kill it which is a blessing bless them for caring for animals

Moissanite diamond 💎 sparkles ✨ nice. So. Why buy a real diamond?.

[@mistydevillier2197]

They're so beautiful, but if you want a natural colored stone, search for unheated natural gems.

[@user-alfatih1792]

buy it at a cheap price, because the quality of moissanite is not eternal, and have its beauty for several years

[@margaritavazquez2538]

Because I too love mammals from the ocean no matter what they are the ugliest and the prettiest it's amazing to watch God is so amazing to invent it all of us and all the creatures from the heavens the earth and the sea and who knows if he did something about aliens I don't know it's not written in the Bible which I can't judge about dinosaurs and all that stuff I don't know because it's not in the Bible also God must have out there so bored to death inventing so many things until he end up coming up inventing the human being which is the worst s*** he ever did
