Can you tell which is a Natural Diamond and which is Moissanite? It’s hard for your jeweler too.
Color, Clarity, Cut, and Carat Weight are the 4 C’s of Diamond buying. To find a high enough quality in the 4 C’s, the cost of the diamond goes up, up, up. The higher the Carat Weight, they harder to find good diamonds. Moissanite is a man made stone which can give the higher quality without increasing the cost of the stone. A 1 carat, D colored, ideal cut, VSI diamond could be $15,000 or more, where Moissanite is around 5% of that cost, just as beautiful, twice the reflective properties, and lasts just as long.
Moissanites represent celestial wonders. Initially unearthed within a meteorite’s crater, moissanite stands out as a remarkable substance forged from silicon carbide. These gemstones possess traits akin to diamonds, including comparable Moh’s scale durability, diverse color options, and deceptive resemblance to the untrained observer. Yet, moissanites additionally showcase an exclusive rainbow sparkle absent in diamonds. Loose moissanites offer a cost-effective alternative to their diamond equivalents, facilitating the realization of aspirations for a substantial central gem.
I am so pleased with my bracelet. I can’t stop looking at it. I wear it every day and it still looks brand new after all this time.
I never worry about my jewelry anymore. I love taking it with me when I travel without concern.
I wasn’t sure how my fiance’ would feel. But it was her idea to get Moissanite, and she loves it!
