@Wtf New No, I love them because they are real and beautiful. But more importantly, for me at least, moissanites are breaking down an industry that is underpinned by vanity and the exploitation of masculine insecurity.
Moissanite gems are AMAZING!!! I'll take a moissanite any day over a diamond because of the sparkle alone. My rings have so much sparkle, they're definitely statement pieces. It's insane that people know the negative impact diamonds have on people's lives, caused countless deaths, destroyed the environment, killed wildlife, but still think highly of diamonds SMH sad individuals. I wonder if they would still want diamonds if they were out there digging for them and/or watching their family and friends being killed over shiny rocks.
Yes and no if you all buy moissanite and lab diamonds does people have no money to support family no food, no clothes and they die. people in afrika bagging to stop this hype because people see only one side and not the other side of this story.
With lab grown, there is no need to worry if it was ethically mined or not! So I will always prefer lab. Moissanite is a bonus because of the higher refraction index and affordability! :)
Totally team lab grown! The idea of people at this day and age still need to dig for gem stone feels so backward when we have great alternatives with zero flaws. I feel now we can focus more on good designs and pay more on the craftsmanship + detail + more sparkles!
I love my Moissanite ring. I got married last year and have a 2 ct hearts and arrows. It’s beautiful and for the price it definitely beats a natural diamond. Plus I know it will last me a lifetime. To each their own. 💍
Hey Michael, happy 2021 btw. My thoughts are that there is nothing more disruptive than opencast Diamond mining. The only people that are really furious are companies like De Beers who have dominated the Diamond industry and inflated the price of natural Diamond with heavy marketing. De Beers now has a warehouse full of uncut stones that will depreciate in value, especially in these difficult financial Times. Personally I love Moissanite for its brilliance and durability. My favourite gemstone in my collection though is Poudretteite, not for its brilliance and durability but for its rarity and natural inclusions. Stay safe everyone. Rog from Wales U.K. 🏴.
When you buy a Diamond, the clerk at the jewelry store is going to tell you how rare and priceless the stone is. With a Moissanite, we will never run out of material to manufacture a beautiful piece of jewelry.
I’ve heard that rigmarole from old-head jewelry shop guys too and they are full of baloney. Diamonds are so rare that virtually every household has at least one…. Uh huh… Diamonds aren’t rare at all and in fact they are the most common of all the precious gems. The truth is that lab created diamonds are more rare than natural diamonds. Diamonds may be harder than moissanite, but aside from that, moissanite is a superior stone.
@@Shelly-lz9tm Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. With a Moissanite, you have a lovely piece of jewelry and thousands of dollars left over to buy things you really need like food, shelter, clothes, gas for your car, etc.
I love Moissanites and already own some beautiful rings, after owning expensive diamonds. I must say moissanites are a beautiful gem stone and may easily outshine diamonds.
Another reason I believe some people dislike Moissanite is that some Moissanite owners/users/sellers try to act or say that they are diamonds. I think we should say what it is and not try to pass Moissanite for what it's not and be "proud" of Moissanite, its own gem stone. I am new to Moissanite and the overall jewelry game, I have recently bought several Moissanite and Diamond pieces and I am very impressed with Moissanite. Great channel by the way!
I think the most important reason is the use of diamonds by rich snobs as a status symbol. When it comes to snobs (of any kind) when you threaten their ability to set themselves apart from the common rabble as their better, they get upset lol. I think it is hilarious.
You will not be disappointed. I've been wearing my Charles and Colvard solitaire stud earrings for 18 years and absolutely adore them. Still as gorgeous as the day I bought them.
Your a complete moron... The amount of carbon created during the creation of a lab diamond is way more than a mined diamond... Go plug in your environmentally friendly EV... Oh and the electricity comes from nowhere too 🤣
@@AH-up8zh so the amount of carbon from other factories, from exhaust pipes from cars, airplanes, fuel in general don't matter or contribute? 😑 it's at least conflict free that's a start.
Don't be played, Moissanite is essential better than Diamonds in every way besides Diamonds or somewhat harder. Diamonds are man made too, Moissanite is found in rocks and meteorites and just as cool as a diamond.
you buy these stones for your loved ones. who cares about resale value, 99% of buyers and 99% of the time they will keep it and not sell. the moment you present this stones is what truly matters.
I believe people want to buy the dream of luxury attached to natural diamonds. Even if overpriced. If they were all in the same price bracket, most of the favoring would disappear.
the people that don't like Moissanite are the people that are rich kings and queens so their opinions don't matter. there is nothing wrong with Moissanite.
I like lab-grown diamonds. Personally, I prefer the white fire of diamonds to the multicolored fire of moissanite. But I don’t have a negative opinion of other people’s gemstones, because that would be ridiculous. As for my few small “old” diamonds, I wear them for their beauty. My husband didn’t buy them as investments, he bought them for me to wear. (For ordinary people, diamonds really aren’t a sensible “investment.”)
I prefer moissanite than real diamonds, maybe because of the fire but large diamonds always have high value in the market so i can never dislike real diamonds too
@@sillyface8247 theyre a tad different in the lighting but that’s not the point the point is people playing off a moissanite As a real diamond. Point blank period.
@@sillyface8247 It is easy to tell the difference if one is a user of genuine diamonds, the sparkle is soothing to the eye and soul, there is a touch of Mystic in it , like demure or refine women, whereas the moissanite sparkles a lot without symmetry, just like firecrackers
@@jackstar2620 If you think Moissanite looks like firecrackers, you should check out Strontium Titanate, a popular diamond alternative from the 1950's - 1970's.
Always mine diamonds for me. I love what the earth made. 🌎... however , at this time and age people are getting robbed like crazy and I'm very glad I can put my real jewelry away and get substitutes. Thanks.
So basically people are butthurt over overpaying on the most over marked up product in all of retail when 99% of them couldn't discern a moisanite from a real diamond if you paid them. I agree with the other commenter this is the reason I love them lol.
You can easily discern a diamond from a moissanite any day. One shines in rainbow colors and is more opaque white and the other shines in white light and is more transparent. In person it's obvious. I'm not saying moissanites are bad but if a person knows jewelry you can tell. Also moissanite and precious gems like sapphire can rival diamonds in price depending on quality and rarity. I've seen shitty stones and breath taking stones but let's not lie to ourselves. It is what it is.
Usually they are old fashion and always love natural diamonds. They mind is set in there ways. Don't believe in technology old school believes in. I personally like update stones and options like moissanite diamond or lab diamonds.
Why doesn’t my Moissanite sparkle outside in the sunlight? In the sunlight it also has a light purple hue instead of the white color indoors under artificial lighting.
Aren't natural diamonds devalued automatically when you sell it back and lab diamond still hold value and at times more with their respective sellers ?
Here are 2 blogs that we just recently wrote. Hopefully, it answers your questions. fireandbrilliance.com/blogs/news/3-misconceptions-of-lab-grown-diamond-s-resale-value fireandbrilliance.com/blogs/news/3-misconceptions-of-natural-diamond-s-resale-value
How do we approach knows jewelers in Houston if we desire to purchase real diamonds and don’t want to get scammed or how do we find real diamonds to get jewelry and also gold/diamond crowns
I’m confused. I keep finding videos that say a moissanite has better sparkle than a diamond. However, the two moissanites that I’ve owned so far have not sparkled better or more beautifully than the diamonds I’ve seen in person.
Moissanite can look hazy and milky at times, some of the facets look like shards sometimes. I even have a “crushed ice” Moissanite. It looks nice when freshly cleaned but not as pretty as a diamond. Lab grown diamonds are still too expensive. I’m hoping the prices will come down.
I totally agree. I hate having to scrub the moissanite down every other day. It takes little effort to clean my diamonds and a pain to clean the moissanite. Mine also gets a rainbow stain in the facets that always comes back and make it look dull and ugly. Wanted to love it but that was the buzz killer.
@@liloallena Cheap is expensive this is German expression.It costs a lot of time to clean and the fact that you know it's fake kills the appetite, not worth the time to clean the fake bottom of a glass
You should not experience this with moissanite… even the popular more pricey Moissanite on the market aren’t the best quality. I hope you get to experience the true beauty of moissy you should not have to clean it the way you describe at all.
Maybe you got a bad quality moissante or a cubic zirconia trying to pass as a moissante? but I can go a year without cleaning mines and it wont even loose its sparkle.
I have a beautiful 2carat moissanite hearts and arrows engagement ring. Very beautiful and it’s 4yrs old . I don’t want to invest into natural diamond bcoz when husband or lover separated he or she will sell her ring have of the original price of the ring .
It became traditional from a company advertisements caused the market behind it its only been a big thing a little over 100 years but what about all the time before hand?
Move over natural stones, emerald and other lab grown stones like Chatham stones are taking their place in the market .so the diamond market has to ,too.
The intro was already incorrect. Moissanite is not a lab-grown diamond. It is a gem of its own. It is a naturally occurring stone but can also be lab grown.
Let people chose! Isn’t that what is all about? People want to pay thousands for a Dimond that if they try to sell, they get nothing close to what they paid. If people chose to pay less for a stone that is just as beautiful as a Dimond. (Moissanite) How is this wrong? Either way is their money. I’ve done both! But I chose not to spend one more scent on a Dimond again. Just try selling your overly price Dimond. Not such a worthy piece of Jewelry is it? You just have to chose if you want to continue to get ripped off in the name of “Tradition” no thank you!
You are talking about dis advantage for the sellers.. Moissanite is rare compare to Diamonds,in much cheaper price, I prefer this lab made ones,it is clean karma and conflict free..No to blood diamonds!
Of curse this is for a ring on a bust hand only ............. my ring hardly needs cleaning an d its easy to clean i use dish soap as i do with diamonds ........... I dont knw how peple live but take your jewelry off f your hands are goin into water ........ for cooking r abath ...... peopel dont think
That depends on the diamond alternative.... I wear my moissanite earrings 24/7 and they sparkle no matter how dirty they get. I remember to clean them about once a year, lol. It depends in the lab creating them. Charles and Colvard are stunning quality.
The three reasons are DeBeers DeBeers and Debeers ..... if synthetic moissanite had been arund since pre 1900 Diamnds woulddiamonds never have become market leader in clear stones because they do not lk as good
i only like Natural diamonds because to me diamonds are only valuable at all because they are rare & they come from the earth therefor they hold the earths energy. (AKA) The earth itself made them & that's so cool.
I don't like the flashiness of Moissanite, it looks fake. Diamonds generally keep and sometimes increase in value over time (depending on quality) - I don't think the same can be said of Lab-grown diamonds or Moissanites. Personally, I prefer a small and high quality diamond to a huge low quality diamond or a huge Moissanite. Very interesting video, thank you!
Lab grown diamond are identical and in most cases better quality than natural diamond because your able to control it as a it grows and make it "perfect". If I grow an orange at home compared to one I buy at the store they are the same thing. Even better actually because im able to control the way its grown, no pestices no chemicals etc. Same for lab diamonds.
I love my diamonds. If I don't want diamonds. Then by realy good dimonique. Or substitute. By the way why has no one answered one large question. If everything goes lab. What happens to all the workers who dig out gemstones. There is no government's pay for them. Hey don't they deserve to eat.
Would probably be more popular if it had a better name 😂 Imagine being asked if it's a real diamond and saying "actually it's moissanite" Also I prefer a natural stone. To each their own however, if you bought a moissanite piece and you're happy with it then who cares. Depreciation though I don't expect. If natural diamond's demand goes down there will be a niche market for people who prefer natural diamonds. You don't see everyone wearing a Rolex and yet they're more expensive than what most people wear on their wrist 🤷
If everyone can afford those very much expensive, priceless, natural stones, those 3 "Ds" will never exist in the first place. lol. You would not care about diamonds if you are in Neptune but will thirst much for water for sure. Here on Earth, most people value Diamonds than water. Before you react try to my Neptune analogy try using your brain in thinking first.
I feel like you’ve lost sleep over thinking about lab grown diamonds...are you okay?? Does it bother you that lab grown diamonds have the same chemical structure and test as a real diamond? Scary isn’t it?
LMAO…. Moissanite aren’t diamonds. They are a real gem that hits harder than diamonds you little hater. Google VVS Moissanite and do some research before you go around calling things fake!
Os compradores pilantra risca o diamante com outro diamante pra dizer que o que está sendo testado não é diamante uma pilantragem como o relojoeiro que quebrar o balanço do relógio mercanico todos os outros relojoeiro vão dizer que e é balança quebrada porque foi quebrado de sacanagem
Only people who cant afford natural diamonds will buy the alternatives. People with money who can afford natural diamonds, will buy diamonds. Same reason why people rock knock off Gucci, fake jordans, and replica Rolex. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know what’s truly the ugliest thing about moissanite? It’s cultish diamond-hating broke people that buy it. Walking around with 5 carat disco balls that cost $30 on Ali Express. Buy a decent MENÈ pure 24K gold ring to have natural healing benefits of a natural metal, wear a birthstone gemstone but synthetic bling doesn’t carry any energy emphasising signature whatsoever aside of synthetics. Always for mama nature. Only clueless people still talk about some “unethical mining bs” so annoying blah 😑 nobody’s purchasing a diamond to sell it that’s not the point
Interestingly, synthetic sapphire has been around for hundread years but the natural sapphire (especially ruby) value is not decreasing. Maybe the traditionalist can feel safe because it is easier to identify synthetic sapphire than synthetic diamond.
All these reasons why people dislike them are the reasons why I love them.
@Wtf New No, I love them because they are real and beautiful. But more importantly, for me at least, moissanites are breaking down an industry that is underpinned by vanity and the exploitation of masculine insecurity.

Diamonds generally keep and sometimes increase in value over time (depending on quality) - I don't think the same can be said of Lab-grown diamonds or Moissanites. Personally, I prefer a small and high quality diamond to a huge low quality diamond or a huge Moissanite. Very interesting video, thank you!
Lab grown diamond are identical and in most cases better quality than natural diamond because your able to control it as a it grows and make it "perfect". If I grow an orange at home compared to one I buy at the store they are the same thing. Even better actually because im able to control the way its grown, no pestices no chemicals etc. Same for lab diamonds.
@@kcampos6837 I have actually bought a ring with a lab grown diamond. I must say it looks better than I had expected. Very good sparkle and clarity.
@@HaFannyHa do you understand that a lab diamond is chemically the same thing as a natural diamond? Why would it feel or look different?
I dislike moissanite because of the hazy/cloudy appearance
What?
Just The Reality!!!😅
Its Like Comparing Apples 🍎 To Lemons 🍋 😅
This lab-grown moissanite diamonds and natural diamonds makes me choose between faux leather and genuine leather …smh
The pesky oil slick or grime in moissanite is the major turn off.
You have literature or a source for this statement?
I love my diamonds. If I don't want diamonds. Then by realy good dimonique. Or substitute. By the way why has no one answered one large question. If everything goes lab. What happens to all the workers who dig out gemstones. There is no government's pay for them. Hey don't they deserve to eat.
Would probably be more popular if it had a better name 😂
Imagine being asked if it's a real diamond and saying "actually it's moissanite"
Also I prefer a natural stone. To each their own however, if you bought a moissanite piece and you're happy with it then who cares.
Depreciation though I don't expect. If natural diamond's demand goes down there will be a niche market for people who prefer natural diamonds. You don't see everyone wearing a Rolex and yet they're more expensive than what most people wear on their wrist 🤷
i love making these diamond buyers mad, your fault for being manipulated by the market and influencers for your money. be smarter next time.
Moisonnsite all the way!
But it wont
If everyone can afford those very much expensive, priceless, natural stones, those 3 "Ds" will never exist in the first place. lol. You would not care about diamonds if you are in Neptune but will thirst much for water for sure. Here on Earth, most people value Diamonds than water. Before you react try to my Neptune analogy try using your brain in thinking first.
Who Can't Afford The Real Diamond!!!!🤣👎
I feel like you’ve lost sleep over thinking about lab grown diamonds...are you okay?? Does it bother you that lab grown diamonds have the same chemical structure and test as a real diamond? Scary isn’t it?
I can't believe that ppl are so easily scammed
dude lets face it.. moissanite are fake diamonds and people who can not afford real diamonds buy these moissanite trash stones.
LMAO…. Moissanite aren’t diamonds. They are a real gem that hits harder than diamonds you little hater. Google VVS Moissanite and do some research before you go around calling things fake!
You nycliving are completely wrong! What an idiotic thing to say.
Os compradores pilantra risca o diamante com outro diamante pra dizer que o que está sendo testado não é diamante uma pilantragem como o relojoeiro que quebrar o balanço do relógio mercanico todos os outros relojoeiro vão dizer que e é balança quebrada porque foi quebrado de sacanagem
Doesn’t matter it’s ok amazing .
I have pure diamonds and this is for everyday used
Moissanite I can wear everyday
Well I think it's a cheap and nasty alternative,to an overvalued....pebble.
KEEP on Fooling Yourselves 🤣😂
Waaay too much chatter.
BUNCHA CHEAPO DISCO BALLERS 😂
Only people who cant afford natural diamonds will buy the alternatives. People with money who can afford natural diamonds, will buy diamonds. Same reason why people rock knock off Gucci, fake jordans, and replica Rolex. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Or maybe people realized diamonds are overpriced just like gucci, jordans and rolex.
Why spend 10x for something that’s literally the same 🤣 only people butthurt are the ones that overpayed for diamonds
This is all BS!!!!
😂😄😆🤣
You know what’s truly the ugliest thing about moissanite? It’s cultish diamond-hating broke people that buy it. Walking around with 5 carat disco balls that cost $30 on Ali Express. Buy a decent MENÈ pure 24K gold ring to have natural healing benefits of a natural metal, wear a birthstone gemstone but synthetic bling doesn’t carry any energy emphasising signature whatsoever aside of synthetics.
Always for mama nature.
Only clueless people still talk about some “unethical mining bs” so annoying blah 😑 nobody’s purchasing a diamond to sell it that’s not the point
Interestingly, synthetic sapphire has been around for hundread years but the natural sapphire (especially ruby) value is not decreasing. Maybe the traditionalist can feel safe because it is easier to identify synthetic sapphire than synthetic diamond.
Not all mining is unethical and not all manufacturer is conflict free. Lab created stones still require much energy and labor.
