Forget the ring, I couldn’t stop starting at your eye makeup! So pretty!!

[@simpleshane8161]

Stunning ring congratulation. My Hubby upgraded my engagement ring to a 5ct 14k solid yellow gold oval cut moissanite ring this year on our 13th year Anniversary. love it🥰

[@AngelaOmran]

Looks a bit dull sorry not to be rude but like not shiny thru the cuts, I’m also wanting Moissanite from east west gem but I’m scared if pictures and videos are deceiving! How do you feel about it now after all this time? Do you feel like it’s as shiney as they portray it to be online?

[@s.fraser5221]

I agree with you. The ring is beautiful for sure, but I see what you are saying about the stone. I guess the key is to just go for VVS1 COLOR D options only.

[@szabayou]

Please don’t go to East West. They will show you a beautiful shinny ring then mail you a cloudy one. Mines was cloudy too. We had to get me a new ring because I hated it! But that was just me. Trust your gut.

[@AngelaOmran]

[@mindyworkman6929]

YASS!! I have a 2.25ct Forever Hearts & Arrows Round engagement ring, a 2ct 5 stone Forever One wedding band, and 2 .30 thin Forever one bands. I wear them all together, and I’m OBSESED with them💍💖

Congratulations on the engagement. The shank alone gives me costume jewelry vibes. What counts most is that YOU like this ring. 😊 You are very smart to use your money as wisely as you did.

[@BlendedBarbieDoll]

Your ring is stunning!!! I have been looking at Moissanite for a few years now. I love my diamond and will never get rid of it but I do want something different and will never do another diamond for all the reasons. You made a beautiful choice!

[@LifeWithCandrice]

Thank you so much 💗

@@BlendedBarbieDoll omg no way?! That’s so exciting, congratulations I’m so happy that I inspired you. Do you happen to follow me on Instagram by any chance? I would love to see it 😍

[@greenize1959]

For a crushed ice, it’s not that sparkly. Usually the light bounces like crazy. Maybe it’s the lighting? I own moissanite. I love the radiant cut, too.

[@LifeWithCandrice]

Hummingbird10 I needed to get my ring cleaned that’s why it doesn’t look as shiny. When I look back on the footage it does look cloudy, I just needed to get it cleaned ☺️ If you check out there Instagram page you’ll see how beautiful and sparkly they really are 😍

[@AngelaOmran]

My thoughts exactly

[@tranquility9325]

The round cut is called brilliant bec it retracts the light more than this cut.

[@rureadyang]

What kind of moissanite is your's? You mentioned ice. This ring doesn't seem to have much sparkle, but this might be what you want. I prefer tons of sparkle. But Congrats. :)

Can you comment on your experience working with East West Gem Co. Has your ring held up throughout the months? I love their rings but have read some of their reviews and they aren’t the greatest.

Check out Reddit Moissanite. I went with golden bird in India for a black moissanite pear ring :-)

[@nharkonnen]

I have a ring from East West and it's beautiful! I got it last year and bought it purely online (never went to the showroom). It only took a couple weeks. I tried to get a custom ring but they were a little more difficult to work with. I have a ring from Golden Bird on Etsy being made now. 💖

[@monpetitchouxpastry]

Such a gorgeous ring. Thank you for sharing! I’m in love with my moissanite ring too! I don’t blame you for going through a few engagement rings because it really is a piece of you. I wanted my ring to look like me, if that makes sense. There are plenty of rings that I think are beautiful but the one I have is ME! ❤️

[@LifeWithCandrice]

Thank you so much and omg yes I totally agree!!! 🤗

[@marshahawkins4841]

Could you do a 1 year update for your moissanite ring?

[@supernova11711]

Beautiful! Personally, I love a more detailed band. Mine is white gold. It has an eternity swirl design with roses (made of rose gold) on the sides. Only a 1.30 center stone but mine does have diamond accents on both the engagement ring and wedding band. It’s perfect for me. I work with my hands so it’s lower profile but more detailed and definitely has bling! 😁 Originally about $5,000 (for the set) but we caught a sale and got it for $3,800! My boyfriend was quite impressed with my pick as well 😊

[@Nichelle543]

Absolutely gorgeous ring! I want a moissanite too but oval and also with the hidden wrap! Unfortunately it seems my bf won't have the money anytime soon so here I sit, daydreaming about the day I may get mine😂😭

[@LifeWithCandrice]

Nischa B thank you so much!!! That is absolutely lovely, I was stuck between an oval and radiant but fell in love with the radiant more. Oh no, the company I got my ring from has payment plans. You leave any amount that you can and just make payments on it until it’s 50% then they start making your ring! Check it out, I hope you can get it soon 🤗

[@ashn9793]

If your willing to get a temporary ring similar to the one you want that’s more affordable try everly rings they look very very similar in style to east west to rings but are cz not moissanite still stunning and great quality... maybe good until you can upgrade

[@lanieross7768]

Good choice girl it’s beautiful I am waiting for my Moissanite wedding ring to come in the mail it should be here next week hopefully and I got the cushion cut crushed ice 3 karat, I’m so excited I also got the hidden halo around mine 🤗

[@malibuluv209]

We just ordered my rings through brilliant earth. My moissanite alone cost a little under 2k super premium cut D non colorless in a 2.1 ct. (9x7) Getting the ring of my dreams was a mission my bf REFUSED to get me a moissanite. Then finally he compromised and said if i get you a moissanite it has to be top notch with REAL bands/ring setting. I was so happy!! And now I wait for the proposal. My ring is almost similar to your except like I said it's an oval solitaire with a hidden halo on 18k eternity diamond band the band is thin so that i can stack them later. I like the 3 ring look if my bf decides to get me a plain band for an anniversary. All together my two rings with the gem was a little over 6k amazing savings considering the diamond alone at the jewelers was going to cost 6k for a low grade Quality diamond.

[@LifeWithCandrice]

oh my gosh, that’s amazing congratulations!!! How exciting, I bet it looks phenomenal! ☺️ That’s an amazing price point considering that diamonds are expensive 😅

Did it not hurt your fiance's feelings that you weren't ever satisfied with a ring and the others weren't sentimental? I've never heard of anyone changing their ring like that and multiple times saying "I gave him a pass on that" my goodness 😬

[@LifeWithCandrice]

No, we are very honest and open with one another. I was not going to settle for something that I was not satisfied in. I still have the first ring he gave me. Also many people get upgrades, add onto their ring, change the ring and keep the original stone. I only said that once not multiple times, a ring is something that you keep for a lifetime and if I’m not happy with it why would I pretend I am?

I didn't get a moissanite because my husband is a traditional guy so he got me a diamond ring. It only cost 3000. I wonder if this depends on the jewelry shops on price? Wherever you were looking for a diamond is ridiculously overpriced. 10,000? TF lol

[@LifeWithCandrice]

I’m not sure but yes diamonds are expensive and way over priced.

[@ajwalls1]

This is definitely eastwestgemco

[@AlissaintheCity]

Thank you so much for this review! I've been looking at east west as well and it's difficult to tell carat size on their website. I initially wanted 6 as well but looking at this try on, I don't think it would flatter my finger as well as yours does! Definitely need something smaller. XOXO

[@LifeWithCandrice]

You’re welcome!!!! Yes I agree it’s hard to figure that out. I’m more of a visual person so I had to go in and check it out. I love the 6 carat on myself, if you have smaller or thinner hands maybe you can do a 5 carat it’s still a great size! Thank you so much, xxoo 🤍

[@JMac-27]

Just fyi the larger the moissanite the lower quality it will look. It loses color and brilliance the larger it goes. You really want to go with charles and Colvard moissanite it's the industry standard best stuff out there and around 1 1.5 to 2 carats look the best and are very beautiful. You want it to look like a wedding ring not costume jewelry or cocktail ring. Demure is class 😉
