Love moissanite, its ethical, its more affordable, and its durable, but Lab Grown Diamonds or natural diamonds still have that beautiful ICEY look to them. Also diamonds have sharper facets that beautifully slice the light across your eye. Moissanite is close but not all the way there.

@@beartutor3377 - I’m not knocking Moissanite. Trust me. I’ve bought alot of Moissanite jewelry so I have plant of experience with it. Moissanite and Lab Grown Diamonds are both fantastic. I’m just saying I like Lab grown diamond just a tiny bit more. The first moissanite I bought was 10 years ago. 1 carat earrings. (Charles and Colvard). Since then, I bought a beautiful 2 carat Moissanite engagement ring for my ex Charles and Colvard also. After that. Another 2 carat moissanite solitaire, an amazing 3.5 carat solitaire and a 2 carat solitaire princess. Then I bought a 2 carat lab grown solitaire from brilliant earth. Moissanites do have more brilliance than diamonds. But its not all about brilliance. (I had to learn this.) So guess what? Diamonds have much more scintillation than moissanites. (You can research it on google) Scintillation is the reason diamonds look more icy because they have tons of white light flashes when you move and rotate them. Moissanite lacks in scintillation. That’s why videos online always show moissanite under led light that maid them look amazing. But when your in your office, or at home, or in the store, they don’t look as good as the video. Again, not knocking moissanite. I like buying them. But I just have to tell you the simple truth. Also most people should not be buying diamonds unless you are completely and absolutely debt free.

An elongated cushion cut doesn't necessarily cause the difference in appearance. The reason they looked so different is because the diamond cut was "crushed ice", whereas the cut type of the moissanite was "brilliant". I bet if you put a brilliant cut moissanite next to a brilliant cut diamond in cushion shape, you'd see they still look the same

Natural Moissanite and zirconia actually only exists in the space. Only lab-created one does exist on the earth. It’s a little contradictory but I’m kinda glad it’s more affordable.😂
@curtisoliver10062 ай бұрын
Both have been found on Earth but in very rare circumstances. Moissanite can exist in the mantle through lamproites and kimberlites. Also known as being major sources of diamond. Makes sense when you consider the temperature and pressures down there, and the silicon and carbon content. I've just recently bought some kimberlite, but I don't know whether I'm lucky to receive any diamond/other gemstones of interest on it yet. Cubic Zirconia is even rarer in natural circumstances. But has been found to exist in tiny quantities in metamict zircon. I also own a piece of Cyrtolite Zircon, which is high in Uranium and Thorium and therefore metamict. Metamict means the Zircon is unstable due to the radioactivity destroying the structure. This must also contribute to the rare formation of cubic zirconia in some samples.

I don't disagree with the abuse of children mines, but sadly, in countries like these that employ children, the only alternatives are that the children are used in the drug and human trafficking trades. Since I have little to no control over the situation, to me, the lesser of the evils is digging for diamonds. These children should be in school, but no one from those countries allows that option or asked for my opinion.

Why exactly does the cut make such a big difference between the two? I was surprised to see how different that elongated cushion cut was
@markrippetoe1617 Жыл бұрын
The double refractions is what makes it look like that if I’m thinking right. With the double refractions from moissanite the lines of the facet show as a double even though it was one cut. Whereas diamonds are a single refraction so the lines are super crisp and don’t do that “doubling” so you can fit more facets. but the double refraction is what gives that brilliance and sparkle to the moissanite. So with that elongated cushion cut it’s kinda a give and take as it’s a little harder to get a perfect cut on moissanite Hope that helped

I compared moisannite and a diamond at a very good jewelers and the mois had a slightly green gray color to it compared to a diamond. If you don't want to pay for a diamond, you should get a high quality CZ. It is cheaper than mois. One way to tell the difference is to get them dirty from body oil and flaked skin and other stuff. A diamond will still sparkle, the mois and CZ will lose sparkle when the crown and pavilion is dirty.

Moisanite won’t loose its sparkle. Cz is very soft and will scratch and get dull. Moissanite wont. Mois is harder than sapphire at a Mohs 9.25 while sapphire is a 9. To put that into perspective diamond is a 10 and CZ is a mere 8. Trust me you will never scratch or dull a Mois.

Diamonds are actually pretty common. It's like a Gucci thing where you're basically buying a dried piece of old cow skin but more expensive because its a Gucci. Diamonds are even hard to pawn, most pawnshops only buy the gold content and dont want to bother with assessing the diamond. Even more so since lab grown diamonds are 10-20x cheaper so you could've bought a mined one but due to the price of lab grown and the assessor not being able to tell the difference between mined and lab grown, they just go with the gold content.

You were not looking at a really fine diamond. The cut, clarity, color of a diamond all effect the sparkle and fire of a diamond. If you have a lower quality diamond, like poorly cut, eg, the girdle is too thick/thin, or the stone is cut too shallow/deep, then it may not look as fiery or sparkle as much as a mois. Have your jeweler show you a mois and a diamond of the comparable color grade, then add one of a high color grade. You can see the difference.
