I have two moissanites and several diamonds (both lab grown and natural). Moissanite is a gorgeous stone - and being almost the same on the Mohs scale they are hard enough to withstand daily wear - so are great for engagement or wedding rings. I think it’s very hard for most people to tell the difference between Moissanite and Diamond. There is a slight difference the sparkle - moissanite actually sparkles more than diamonds. If you’ve always wanted a big 2 or 3 carat sparkling engagement ring, moissanite is the way to go!

[@Elizabethselby]

I have all 3 as well. And I love Moissanite. It's just difficult to find a good supplier or company who sells what I love. May I ask your Moissanite seller recommendations?

[@tacos420.7]

Yeh it was hard for me to tell at first but I bought diamonds and I can see the difference night and day now

[@samiazahaf6296]

Can you recommend the best supplier of moissanite plz

[@brookedelaney1]

I have a one carat marquis Diamond that is my wedding ring. It’s 34 years old, I love it, but wanted a change up for my anniversary. I chose a two carat Charles and Colvard moissanite, that’s a beautiful ring, that I chose over a Diamond, when I tried it on, I fell in love with it, and kept it. It’s in 14kt gold, I has intended to buy a lab diamond, after doing some research, but the ring I code is just gorgeous!

[@brendanmontgomerie6071]

Moissanite is more resistant to chipping than diamond are they are larger by carat weight and have a higher refractory index. They are more durable and sparkler than diamonds so you decide.

[@kojibackupaccount6649]

Fun fact, just to flex cuz they was downplaying people’s ability to differentiate between the two. Everytime they showed a comparison I guessed right which one was moissanite. I did my research on moissanite and diamonds before going out and buying jewelry and deliberately chose moissanite cuz moissanite has more fire, brilliance, and scintillation than diamonds meaning moissanite tends to sparkle more. The easiest way to visually tell the difference side by side, look for which stone shines the colors more intensely meaning you can see them better like a laser show (moissanite), diamonds tend to shine more softly and more so flicker kinda so the specific sparkles don’t last long and aren’t as intense. Also look for the color in sparkles. I could be wrong on this but I think they actually have the exact same color variety in the sparkles, but this I know for sure, moissanites are more visible. For example in moissanite you could see colors like red and purple more clearly than diamonds

[@tigre9271]

Another important factor is the CUT. If the faceting is done in the ideal proportions it can vastly affect how fire and scintillation the stone exudes.

[@ChontelCade]

I absolutely love my moissanite ring! We decided to go with a 3.5 ct pear shape, lab diamond halo and lab diamonds on the band. The contrast of the moissanite with the diamonds is absolutely stunning! I also filmed a YT video, if anyone is interested in viewing. Happy ring shopping!

Can I just have my ring done by both of you?? 😩. All this information makes me more confident purchasing from you.

[@robinlamberttaylor3303]

Thank you for these videos I've leaned so much about mossinite. My question is, when purchasing a mossinite by a well known company. Should I ask for certification? I'm tod it really doesn't matter . Ty

[@marlapearce8537]

I have 2 very significant moissanite pieces and the only moissanite I will use in my jewelry is Charles and Colvard. I did extensive research before purchasing the stones and Charles and Colvard moissanite is the only one that met all if my requirements. And yes, they are the original manufacturers of moissanite so they have the experience to make a top quality stone.

[@_DST0NE_]

Harro Gem’s moissanite didn’t check all the boxes?? Supposedly they use the same rough material

[@helenalovelock1030]

What were your requirements?

[@sandranorman5469]

Am going to pick out my moissanite tomorrow. Am going to get my nails done before. AM SO EXCITED!!!

[@Luckycat77]

I would love to see a more in depth video on hybrid moissanite and which cuts are more diamond like and not so disco ball looking.

[@helenalovelock1030]

Did you find a good video on this ?

[@Elizabethselby]

Waiting for you to share.

[@AStri-zg5xc]

If you want a less flashy looking stone Old European cut is a good one. It's a round cut like a Brilliant but it has larger facets and less of them. It's my favorite cut for moissanite.

[@duelenigma7732]

The disco ball you are not nuts about may be the double refraction of Moisonite . It produces colorful sparkle where diamond is a single refraction and not full of colors as is the moisonite . ( 40+ years a goldsmith)

[@beartutor3377]

Moissanite is isomorphic too, it has different configurations

[@ep6572]

Hi there!! can you tell me how to order a moon moissanite that you have on this video?

[@helenalovelock1030]

Is a hearts and arrows cut round Moissanite more like a diamond looking than a normal cut one?

[@ericrivers6595]

I bought 4 carat total weight diamond earrings I lost one I paid $4000 for them I’ll never spend that much money on a stone again moissanite is the best way for me to go I got 4 carat total weight at a great price if I lose one it’s not so bad I’m staying with moissanite thank you for this video

[@jenniferpierce8087]

Hi have you heard of HPHT diamonds? Their real eartgmined diamond that has high temperature and pressure. I bought a 15 carat off white HPHT diamond for $130.

Can they mKe colored moissanite? Like how theres yellow blue and pink diamonds. Can they make yellow moissanite? Blue? Pink?

[@gemvideos]

good video

[@ppoutinefries]

i love moissanites but i could always tell the difference in pictures. For some reason moissanites looks cloudier/ more flat white in pictures. I know it sparkles more but is that really the only visible difference?

[@HotNHorny]

They charge so much for Moissanite. It should only be 1/50th the cost of its diamond counterpart of the same quality. Most of the cost should only come from the precious metal it is mounted on.

[@christopherpekel6096]

Same with diamonds, its all a scam

[@user-vt8pv3pj6v]

I own a piece of natural Moissnite stone. 30 mm

[@puppetguy8726]

Are lab created moissanite indistinguishable from natural ones?

[@janetmoore5645]

Moissinate diamonds are stunning. I have one looks great that I purchased. I have a real small diamond 💍 ring. Real diamond 💍 and moissinate diamonds can't tell the difference. I personally like the cubic zirconia. Some look as good as my mother's engagement 💍 ring that is a diamond 💎

[@TheLastProzacNation]

Cubic zirconia?!!! That's like costume jewelry, it looks cheap af. And there's no "moissanite Diamond". They are two completely different types of stone.

[@petuniab.222]

1500 are ya'll crazy...i got my moissanite on amazon under 100. Its stunning.

[@helenalovelock1030]

It’s probably plastic 😂😂

[@roth1998]

Thank you for the video! Quick question. My gf wants to replace a lost diamond from a ring with a moissanite stone. What brand/manufacturer/website would you suggest I use? Thanks.

[@curlyhairdudeify]

Just use Aliexpress

[@tralayehayward9282]

Read your heart. Get it from there or if you got one already get another one. I’m very very impressed with this company.

[@GDotGreen]

Harlembling has the best prices by far

[@bjohns3961]

Didn’t those comparisons to diamond have different cuts?

[@BigMamou367]

I love moissanite. My daughter got an engagement that's mois. On the sides where to other stones.. I took one look at it and said the other stones are diamonds. She said Mom how did you know that they are. I said they did that to charge you more and I can tell by my eye they don't look as good. Moissanite puts out a bit of a color dispersion that diamonds don't have.

[@danacarter9147]

I'm with you 💯%, I adore moissanite, too. The loose moissanites will be ideal for treasure bottle/vial pendants, I mean, the possibilities are all the more endless.

[@HAILTHEHYPE1]

Do you guys make grillz?

[@fabianmadrigal3548]

Where to sell raw moissanite

[@akastenas]

I see how QC here might be better but Chinese Aliexpress moissanite items are quite good. It is cheap to produce and western companies tend to inflate prices. It's only about branding and QC.

Diamonds sparkle like crazy and the sparkles are grey, white, or black. Where as a moissanite sparkles like crazy, and the sparkles are the color of the rainbow

Grey white or black? How are you getting it to sparkle?

I just bought moissanite. It has tiny black lines rest of the characteristics of moissanite explained by you and others people are same but I just want confirmed either moissanite has black lines etc or not so get rid of doubts either it's fake or not because when I bought from a guy he showed me hardness tester it was 9.2 something. So can anyone guide me?

[@LostWithoutHer]

Yeah, the mark-ups on Moissanite are just insane overall, and if you end up with a Moissanite that has an imperfection within it, usually needle-shaped, that type of flaw doesn't occur in mined or lab-grown diamonds. If you've proposed with it and she doesn't know, most jewelers have updated diamond testers which will tell her, if she decides to get it cleaned or tested. Eventually, lab-grown diamonds will become even cheaper and guys waiting to propose or buy, should just wait and get something that doesn't look so much from outer space. Or at least get it from a brand which offers a lifetime warranty on the Moissanite. (search it out.)
