Moissanite v. Natural Diamond v. Lab Grown Diamond: Comparing the difference in 2020.

[@MTLJack]

Diamonds are overrated for most rich people. I bought a real diamond engagement ring for my Fiance. During pandemic , we both worked crazily in the public field and were never at home. One night, we came back home after being robbed. Insurance only covered half the value of the diamond ring because they said the resale value dropped. My point being is, buy what you can afford and what you are comfortable with. Don't let social media and friends affect your budget. Diamond is just a rock at the end of the day and even one day , you are in the misery and need quick cash, its not worth that much. The best investment jewelery are watches like Rolex. These never drops in prices but only goes up. Do yourself and your woman a favour, get a moissonite ring but also get her a Rolex watch. She will be very happy.

[@jdogg5543]

Darker ones go on yellow and rose gold. The lighter ones go on platinum and white gold. They have a few videos as well. The darker ones are much cheaper cause they are more "flawed" the darker they are but they usually aren't noticed as much as yellow gold and hence used on yellow gold the most.

[@jdogg5543]

Also out of the 4 C's. Cut is always the most important in case you were wondering. They also have excellent cut. Ideal cut (which is after excellent) and some places super rare have a cut called super ideal hearts and arrows cut and they have a trademarked patent machine to cut them perfectly like that. They also have single cut which is I believe 16 facets and full cut which has 57 facets. Some melee (melee is small diamonds) have only single cut because some jeweler's don't think you will notice or that it is worth it for the extra effort to cut small melee diamonds fully. So you have 1. Type of cut. (Single or full) 2. Cut quality (bad, good, very good, excellent, idea,l and in some rare places, super ideal hearts and arrows. 3. You have types of cut designs..(8 hearts, 10 hearts, cats eye, constellation, round brilliant etc). As you can see, cut gets overwhelming and confusing very quickly. Color DEF almost all look the same and GHI almost look like them as well to naked eye which can save lots of money. And then JKL can be used on yellow gold to save money. In my opinion, white gold is the most expensive out of yellow gold and rose gold because it uses near colorless diamonds which are more expensive and it needs to be rhodium plated. White gold 18k also cost more than platinum at the moment.

I have a pendant, earrings, and ring. You'd be surprised how many jewelry stores sell lab rubies, because of prices for rubies. Don't the US still have an embargo against Burma. So we don't import rubies from them now, unless we changed that. Lab stones are not fake, like rubies are grown from a small "seed" of the real thing.

[@eriks7405]

Always make sure to have it for resale.

[@9fiveb180]

Moissanite is actually DOUBLY REFRACTIVE. Meaning, it splits the light that goes into the stone, and bounces off the facets and back up to the eye into TWO. That's why you can take a diamond and moissanite that both have the exact dimensions and facet pattern, put them side by side and the moissanite will look like it has more facets. Which is why you get more of the flashes of white and colors dancing around the gem. They’ve got to cut moissanite differently to get it to appear more subdued like that of a diamond. But Charles & Colvard have made some amazing headway in developing cut patterns to help moissanite look almost identical to it’s diamond counterpart. But it takes a great lapidary to pull it off.

A lab diamond can be just as flawed with inclusions, yellowing, poorly cut, etc. as a natural diamond. They are scored and graded just the same, by the same gem labs.

Moissanite has higher luster than diamond, more fire (colorful flash) and brilliance (white flash) than diamond. If you want something that's even more like what people think a diamond is like than a diamond is, moissanite. Diamond is slightly harder, but moissanite is still harder than everything but diamond. Moissanite is tougher (fractures less easily. Diamond also has two planes of fracture, moissanite has none. As an example of how toughness works, you wouldn't think twice about cutting something on a plate, but you're careful how you set the same plate in a sink) Moissanite occurs in meteorites but not at sizes for gemstone jewelry, so you don't have to worry about the ethics of where the stone was sourced and what the profits were used for You're right. It's all down to tastes, different people value different things.

I am currently watching jtv moissanite beautiful. Will buy me one soon

[@jayhome2715]

Considering Lab Diamonds have ZERO resale value they are way overpriced for the initial sale price........like criminally overpriced!

[@ThomasBomb45]

Then why not buy a lab diamond secondhand? Take advantage of that low price!

[@jenniferhall8128]

Where? I can’t find second hand lab grown diamonds anywhere!

[@Djlukz]

Why do you wanna buy a resale diamond?

[@ThomasBomb45]

@@Djlukz Cause they're literally the same thing, just cheaper and there are no ethical or environmental concerns

[@MRTRIGGERMAN1]

Absolutely true. Just ask somebody to buy one off you you'll see what its worth. There are no second hand ones out there because nobody is buying them.

[@isaackolton9783]

I wasn't referring to mine diamonds I was referring to the fact that Lab-grown are the solution for the high price of mine diamonds. You can like it or not but moissanite are not diamonds they are made out of silicon but again if you like it that your choice enjoy it.

But only natural diamonds have any resale value....I would have loved a lab diamond, but it’s hard to justify spending thousands on a ring that has no long term value beyond sentiment.

[@giovannidubon2645]

Sorry to say, but if you bought a natural diamond it loose 50 percent of its value when it leaves the store.

[@itsaaronlolz]

Giovanni Dubon true but moisanite has zero value lol

[@mariejones3913]

Giovanni Dubon NOT true! i bought diamond for $15,000 in 2005 spent $2,500 on setting just recently had it appraised for home owners ins and it is appraised at $40,000 so that’s a gain!

You did not mention that Lab diamonds have almost no resell value compared to a Natural diamond

[@johnz5359]

Natural diamond's resale value is a tiny fraction of what you bought it for anyway. Because diamonds are so plentiful, they're basically worthless. Companies that own the diamonds release only a small amount to keep the prices artificially high.

I’m not sure, but you have to have the more expensive tester for it to register as Fugazi

[@juzagirlntheroom2692]

Lab diamonds still have a pretty big carbon footprint. Though, you are right it doesn't directly dig up mother earth. Moissanite is the most friendly way to go Plus, unless you buy a terribly overpriced, yet not better brands like Charles and Colvard is now, you will always be able to get your money almost entirely back from a high quality, well cared for moissanite peace.

Do lab diamonds and moissanite have fluorescence like some natural diamonds do?

[@MrAlexerable]

Lab grown diamonds can have fluorescence just like natural diamonds, but moissanite usually doesn't have any fluorescence.

[@nevershoutmilly]

Are simulated diamonds the same as lab grown diamonds?

[@C_71]

No, Simulated diamonds are also known as diamond simulants and include things like cubic zirconia (CZ), moissanite, and YAG. They can also include some natural clear gemstones like white sapphire, white zircon or even clear quartz. ... They are real diamonds but not grown by Mother Nature

[@jbone9900]

@@C_71 wrong buck oru moissanite is fake made of silicon while lab grown are real carbon just man made.

I went to the dollar store the other day...got a cubic zirconia for a dollar twenty five, plus tax.

[@TaraElizabeth]

Someone told me that if I were to get a moissanite and needed it like resized or anything using heat, that it could be damaged or it could break it. Is this true?

[@jbone9900]

Doesn't matter get a lab grown it's as real as a natural one the moissanite is fake/phony and holds no value.

[@FXNorm]

Moissanite can handle heat much better than a diamond and makes a lab or mined diamond look sick when placed side by side.

[@supernova11711]

Lol no. Moissanite is a space gem. I read it can withstand heat hotter than a house fire.

[@Wetknees]

Not unless you’re resizing it with a laser beam…. Which is how they cut diamonds….. because diamonds are one of the hardest materials

I'm Rocking Out Moissanite collection for Damn Sure these Days."!!! Of Course I love Diamond 💎 but Moissanite 💎 is just as Brilliant & Shinny & more Worth it."!!! And to top of off u can save urself top dollar 💵 many regular people may not even know the difference." The Casuals these days would rather compliment something that's worth it." If it's Shinning & Blinding bright 🌞😎 than wouldn't that be the idea 💡 to begin with. Not just that the level of Quality & Brilliance is Definitely the deciding factor that's what I would consider. Anyone can say well diamond 💎 is where it's at I would argue and say Not 🚫 so fast I used to think 💬 so. However tomato 🍅 tomatoh Lol

If you like the blink and style but not the value and not planning to sell it then just go for any cheaper and beautiful alternative. Unless you care about showing others you can afford the expensive diamonds.

[@kathymigliozzi9504]

What is the difference between moissanite and lab created

[@visionclear5719]

Lab grown diamonds are pretty much full carbon which is why its considered a real diamond. Moissanite is an upgrade to cubic zirconium adding a bit of carbon and no inclusions. Basically moissanite is The best fake diamond out there

[@cw5451]

Moissanite is more brilliant and costs more than a lab-grown “diamond.”

[@charnaeyoung9815]

They are two different stones. A moissanite can be natural. But is not a common stone. It’s just. A gemstone that is mistaken for a diamond. But can be made in a lab like a diamond. It’s just simply not a diamond. But is as beautiful as a diamond and almost as hard as a diamond but without the re-sale value. You should buy it you want the look and durability without the steep price and if you like them in general. Not for monetary value but for sentimental value. My wedding ring is made of moissanite. I have no desire to sell it and I would hope my future children would never try to because they may be sorely disappointed. 😂

What is the best way to clean a Moissanite at home?

[@dj90-d8q]

Soak it in hot water with baking soda and salt
