A diamond is almost worthless to resale but its somehow more valuable ? If your still buying diamonds your getting ripped
Facts!!
Not at all you dope. So you think think mining process and refining. Then the stone setting and jewelry production costs nothing? You’re a joke kid. You don’t know shit
I respectfully feel that if you’re buying rocks and metals to wear, you’re already getting ripped
@noluck8613 to be fair. Jewelry has been in pretty much every culture for ever. It costing as much as a small plane is wild though
@@noluck8613 Agree that the materials are nearly worthless and definitely f* the old school industry. However, personal expression is and will remain important to humans as will appreciation for craftsmanship. Jewelry making can be an art that one could spend countless hours and resources honing. The materials utilized in the creation may be worthless but tremendous value could potentially lie in the artistic expression and craftsmanship… the heart and the soul… that an artisan may imbue upon his jeweled creation, be it canvas and paint or jeweled intricacies. There’s lots of shite “paintings” as there is plenty of shite “jewelry”. Respectfully. 🖖🏿✊🏼✌🏽
Try to resale your diamond jewelry and quickly find out how close in value diamonds are to moissanite. They will offer you whatever the gold is worth and ignore the diamonds entirely.
Exactly! I bought diamond earrings on sale for $630. At 60% off & went to a pawnshop & they tested them (came out as diamonds.💎 but offered me $100 so I returned them to the store I purchased from! It was an eye opening experience 😅
I had diamond pavé ring and i went to a reputable jeweler and they one gave me 300+ dollars for the white gold and a gold clover in it
Literally just happened to me yesterday when sold my pendants back to the jeweler. The jewelry industry is a complete scam. We as consumers are just making the jewelers rich just to be able to brag about where we bought it from
I love my moussanite and I own a lot of natural diamond jewelry. The rainbows coming from double refraction is what catches my eyes. I had a diamond cutter faceted my square cushion brilliant moissy. So many people ask about it. No one said much about my 3ct princess diamond, and that ring is pretty spectacular. I can definitely tell between diamonds and moissanites with my eyes. I guess I know what to look for. Diamonds have much crisper facet edges especially against the cheaper moissanite cuts.
@@Kattcreatethem little joints are worthless because you can’t break it down and resell it
I like it cuz its shiney and affordable. Diamonds are a shit deal
Diamonds are a huge marketing scam by DeBeers!
I love moissanite just because, period!
he's a douchebag his store doesn't even have a great selection.. i wanted to see some of his pendants and he has none😂😂 can't even restock wait doesn't make enough to restock.. give them lab grown gem stone Respect and acknowledge it as its own gem fr
Me too! I just like all of them (even CZs) because they're sparkly. I don't care about real or fake.
The biggest scam is from the jewelers that convinced us that Diamonds are the only stone that is acceptable stone to symbolize love.. that you must spend at least 3 months wages on the ring before it means anything.. moissanite is a affordable and allows you to have a beautiful ring and still have money to spend on what really matters.. building your life together with the person you love enough to want a future that doesn’t start with financial hardship. I will never purchase another diamond
💯
It was an advertising ploy by DeBeers. They ultimately couldn’t sell diamonds quicker than they were mining them. I think the original advert said something along the lines of if you really love her show it with a diamond.
Moissanite is its own gem, yes. 6H-SiC has been isolated in nature multiple times as transparent granules that are green, yellow and near-colorless. You can absolutely tell the difference as well, it has a higher RI, a higher dispersion, and is highly birefringent.
I knew moisannites didn’t hit harder than diamonds. It’s a little more brilliant but it shines basically the same as a diamond. I like it because it it’s affordable and I don’t want to spend all my money on diamonds.
You are only buying moisannite because it "looks" like real diamonds...bottom line
Wrong...I don't like moissanite because it's "trying to be a diamond" I like moissanite because I prefer its colorful sparkle. If people wanted their moissanite to pass as a diamond they wouldn't correct people or make videos talking about their moissanite. Why would you out yourself if you're trying to get people to think you have a diamond? People like being in on something and knowing about a Gemstone that isn't well known, kinda like knowing the secret menu at a restaurant and also the sparkle is stunning for a good price point. So no, not everyone likes moissanite because it looks like a diamond, I correct anyone who assumes mine is a diamond and put them on to moissanite because of its beauty and to let them know they have more options
Truth! ❤
Moissanite all day i love it. Everyone is standing up for moissanite...
Lab Diamonds also have a certificate 🤔
Gia grades lab grown diamonds. Tiffany Co sells lab diamonds
PSA telling Moissanite apart from Diamond is dead easy. Moissanite has fire, Diamond doesn’t (fire is rainbow colors).
Not it’s not, not to an untrained eye.
I'm an apprentice bench jeweler, I see a lot of jewelry come and go, if theirs one thing I see the most is engagement rings with diamonds. I've talked with a lot of people that say they've seen moissanite rings and were thinking about getting one, but they always end up leaving with a diamond whether its lab or natural. Diamonds still hold that "prestige" even in younger couples.
@@papa_kez6602 nope a 3rd generation jewelry store owner told me Diamonds are now down 29% 💎 bc of lab grown & moissoinite!
Bro I was sold on diamonds over moisannite cuz I thought diamonds would last longer compared to the softer moisannite, but it's like a 9.25 mohs compared to diamonds 10 like damn that's pretty much the same thing I'm sold now I never cared about the prestige I just wanted something that lasts and they do 😂
I'm sold too. I just want something that sparkles and has great clarity.
Regarding Point 1, I respectfully disagree. Just because the stones look alike and fill a similar niche, it doesn't mean one is trying to be the other. Some people treat them interchangeably, but that doesn't mean that's the general consensus. Consider the case of rhodium-plated white gold, rhodium-plated silver, and platinum. Put side-by-side, very few people would be able to tell them apart. Would it be fair to say that since the rhodium-plated pieces are incorporating a platinum-family metal, rhodium, that they're trying to emulate platinum and therefore should be considered platinum dupes? I would argue that in this case, they are metals that look alike, fill similar niches ("white" metals), but they aren't trying to be the other and can stand alone.
It would be easy to say that the cheaper metals are trying to be the expensive ones. Sure, some people might pretend their rhodium-plated silver piece is rhodium-plated white gold, for example, but that doesn't mean that's *why* rhodium-plated silver exists, i.e. a way to reduce tarnish maintenance on silver pieces.
As an aside, regarding sapphires, they naturally occur in colors other than blue, for example, green - that doesn't mean green sapphires are piggybacking off of emeralds, and vice versa.
Anyway, I don't disagree with the overall point being made that there is a lot of misinformation floating out there, so let's not exacerbate that problem. Good video, though!
Actually in talking with my Jeweler (family 3 generations), he indicated that bc younger folks rather pay for the lab grown vs Diamond 💎 personally I’m at a crossroads & am more interested in the lab grown vs blood mined diamond!
Depends what quality Moissanite you buy also. I recently sold my silver Cuban bracelet with moissanite at a flea market and they gave me a good deal. And just yesterday I seen it being sold as “diamond bracelet “ smh
Where you bought your moissnite jewellery.. tell plz.. I want to buy
Nice video keep up the good work! I think I’m gonna get a mossanite pendant now
How is There no demand for moissanite when you have companies selling Millions per month to consumers ?? If there is no demand who is buying it ? Lol
There’s demand for it, but since they’re made in a lab, there’s a seemingly endless supply of moissanite.
This guy must be a diamond salesman
VERY clearly lol
These comments did not disappoint! Team moissanite!!!
Thanx alot man 4 da info and for the HONEST EXPLANATION. Keep doing ya thing. Peace
Shout out moissanite 💪🇨🇦
tappin in brotha 🫡
A Moissanite Is a GEMSTONE , so yes a Moissanite is its Own stone , More Brilliance Than a Diamond , whos to say just because Diamond was Discovered First That All of a Sudden moissanite would have to fall under it .. thats Just Balogni
About point 1: Diamonds are used in jewelry in order to make it look better. It is an ornament, simple as that. Same reason we use moissanite in jewelry. Not for the moissanite to look like a diamond. They do the same, and the jeweler said it himself, they are 100% indistinguishable. They look the same, according to the jeweler. The thing is that Diamonds were first, because they are so esay to find, think about that. So all the craftmanship with cuts and polish etc was already developed with diamonds. But that craftmanship doesn't belong to the diamond "brand". Moissy was much harder to find in nature, and required tech to make in a lab. Naturally it became popular only later. Now, it does the same as a diamond, at a fraction of the price. Which by itself, makes it an objectively BETTER stone for jewelry. Anyone trying to say otherwise is brainwashed.
Other than that, i more or less agree, certificates are meaningless, resell value is nothing, prolly won't take over the industry. Doesn't matter.
Nice vid.
MoissySquad checking in💯shoutout to you Gus ‼️ great video.
Moissanite is very clearly distinguishable from a diamond into both depth and brilliance when you get up close. Why would anyone go for a diamond if it was the same? It has certain features that make it desirable.
My wife just picked out a beautiful ring and I told her to get it as quick as I could, saves me money and she loves it.
I do like the idea that they are their own stone but would agree I like them because they look like diamonds. Great video!
There is no real authentication process for Jordan's 😂😂😂😂
I’m not trying to stereotype but he clearly is a diamond jeweler 😂
I like it cause it's cheap and enhances an outfit just like diamonds which aren't worth what they charge. We just got it stuck in our heads that diamonds are somehow rare and valuable
Hi !
I'm with you when you say that Tiffany is not going to sell Moissanites, but we could see brands such as Pandora or Swarovski starting a trend by switching CZ by Moissanites. I'm wondering why it's not the case yet...
Hi from Europe, where no one knows about Moissanites ^^
Because there is no demand and the moisannite can just be made in a lab so its,worthless
I love them. They’re a great diamond substitute and way more affordable and if you pick certain cuts and colors of it, you can tone down the over the top sparkle. I’m partial to the natural yellow ones.
I wonder if you may have some color blindness, moissanite has a double refraction pattern that can be easily seen in certain cuts.
That Jordan shoe cut was funny😂
GRA is good if you forget the specs of your moissanite
Its pointless...like rating fake jordans
I wanted to see moissanite versions of ruby, emerald, and sapphire stones.
DIAMOND IS A GEMSTONE
Why haven't you done a review on harlem bling yet?
Im confused on why diamonds are bettter still. Their resale value is pure garbage
Do you recommend a vendor or where to buy reasonable price?
honest question out of curiousity: durability wise, how do they compare to diamonds?
Moissanite is 9.25 to 9.5 on hardness scale. Diamond is 10.
It definitely shines a lot better. Easy to tell the difference between diamonds and moissanite
Bottom line, it has no resale value.
Marketing is going to make sure diamonds are ALWAYS profitable, but “alternatives” will always be popular
Great video 🔥🔥🔥
It's moreso because I like the way a diamond looks. If diamonds were cheap I'd still like the way they look and them being so hard. Also moissanite being from space is dope to me.
Basically, he’s saying is, buy Gold. And he’s right. Now there’s value.
Moissanite for the win Diamonds are a waste of money gold and silver is the real investment
I love moissanite, and I own moissanite rings. I also like lab-grown diamonds, but I will never buy natural diamonds again.
I don't like Moisanite, and yes, I can tell the difference.
Moissanite shines and more brilliant
Pretty soon diamonds prices will be forced to come down. Especially if the resell value is horrible. Ijs its safe to say moissanite is a real competitor atp
I watched a video just today about a diamond cutter. He told the video maker that he's already losing money.
I mean I get the whole marketing thing but also there is a draw to something that the earth created. Diamond isn’t a rare stone but to extract them from the earth is a very costly process bc it is in fact hard. Whether you like it or not. The value of a diamond is that it’s hard to get. We aren’t finding any new kimberlite deposits. 30 years down the line who knows what will happen.
Or you can just make it in a lab - it's not so hard to get.
Once I saw several people at night in 25 degree frost with flashlights looking for a fallen diamond earring in the snow. It was too cold. I didn't bother to see how the story ended. This is a tragedy for people and unfortunately this happens - there is no guarantee that this will not affect you. If it were moissanite it would simply not be pleasant. My wife lost her moissanite bracelet. If it had been a diamond, we probably would have had to call an ambulance.
It is possible to distinguish moissanite from diamond. When shined, moissanite will sparkle with bright flashes of color. The diamond will be dominated by contrasting flashes of white and black with rare additions of color. Moissanite appears more cloudy due to double refraction of the rays and does not have the sharpness and clarity that is characteristic of diamonds.
I’m laughing at everyone taking it personal.
With all this being said watch companies like Bulova and Citizen start making factory set watches with Moissanites perhaps gold wrapped (not to be confused with plaited) watches similar to how Tudor make their watches and other budget friendly watch companies follow suit.
I like moissanites because they literally look as premium as a diamond with similar properties and at a lower price without it being a “fake diamond”. I don’t plan on reselling my jewelry anyway.
I was in the jewelry biz for 30 years, if you can't tell the diff between moisanite and diamond your an incompetent jeweler. You can see the diff from ft away and it's super obvious with a loop. Dispersion is off the chart compare to diamond, and the facet junctions are rounded, it's also double refractive. In short, if you look at diamonds all day long a moissanite stands out like a sore thumb.
Dude Lyin lmfaooo
Hes wrong on almost every myth he tried to " Debunk " lol
We dont wear Moissanite or Saphires to impress jewelers lol ... i stood next 2 an NFL player and my chain hit just as hard but cost 30k less but my truck & house is real
Question: Do moissanites glow under UV the way some diamonds do?
As of now lab moissanite doesn't have any fluorescence
@@peteythajeweler902jewels thank you. I've been using my UV torch to look at diamond jewelry to see which stones glow and how much. Just for kicks. I started wondering if it might be a useful way to differentiate between the two, at least in separate groups.
Yes. Some do. But they will glow green, not like how diamonds do/might
Thanks Gus ❤❤❤❤ I don’t know why the jeweler is doing this 😢😢😢😢
Let me see them Jordans, WHAT the Hellllllllllllllllll!!!!!! PRICELESS!
At least he's wearing shoes.
Personally I’ve bought both and the only upside to Moissanite is when people do the out of focus shine test only then will it have more colors but the way diamonds refract light is so different if you have a bright light Moissanite shines more because Moissanites sparkle comes from the light unlike diamonds which produce their own sparkle so in dim light diamond>Moissanite but it turns around in bright light
Your comment makes absolutely no sense based on the RI and dispersion values of both gems. Moissanite has a higher RI so it looks brighter in all conditions, higher RI means higher ray capture. Its like saying a 2 gallon bottle holds only 4 ounces at maximum capacity if its in the desert vs in a spring… no sense.
@@beartutor3377 no it makes complete sense there are different kinds of light play between the two. Take a Moissanite and a diamond and put them in the sun the Moissanite with have more dispersion and sparkle but if you bring them inside with the Moissanite will look almost like a white sapphire it will be all cloudy and almost looks like milk a diamond tho you will still see the cuts in the stone and it will look more clear that a Moissanite also refractive index isn’t how good a stone captures light it’s about how well a stone reflects light that is hitting it and dispersion is how well the stone acts as a prism and splits that light into visible colors. In order for Moissanite to gain its hallmark effects of its RI and Dispersion it has to be hit with direct light and I’ve found that it also has to be white light like a bright white led or sunlight diamonds will better split different colored light into the rainbows works best in orange led lights
I buy my wife diamonds, but as for me, I wear Moissanites
Simp
😅@@timetravel099
I’ll tell ya bro while the GRA certification is bogus, Moissanite does have a variance in quality that should be noted. For instance some stones are really blue and less attractive. Moissanite will be the future, as they’re going to replace CZ. This means CZ will get lower in price and Moissanite will go up in price, but still with no resale value. Even so, large CZ stones are easy to achieve, while large Moissanite stones are not. Natural Diamond will forever be the standard for sure.
harlembling stones arent glued on. One person disables the comments while the other doesn't, wonder why you are doing that? Almost like you know you are full of it. I have multiple prong-set pieces that ive taken for repairs, nothing is glued on.
A earth mined diamond don't have resale value the only value is the metal that's holding that diamond
Fact : it's not a dimaond that's why it's called mossatine lmao😂 an has a different structure so yes it's completely different
Herkimer Diamonds + Moissanite. Awesome
Everything he said was cap 🤣 he blowing smoke just like every dude in Miami
I love, love, love my moissanite jewelry. I have a lovely diamond, but I prefer my moissanite pieces. Diamonds are a giant rip off.
Moissanite, diamond, and all gemstones are not to resell. If anyone is planning to resell Moissanite, diamond, and all gemstones in the future, don't buy in the first place. Gold and silver resell can only be resell. Especially gold is #1 investment. All stones including diamonds are for fashion only not resell.
Invest in gold and silver only that’s where the money is at. Now if you want a blinged out piece invest in moissanite at least you saved 1000s and look very good like diamonds 💎 now thats facts I will never ever buy another diamond as long as am living lol Moissanite for ever
gold and silver only that’s where the money is at ?.............. Right ! LOL
i still love moissanite.. regardless buddy!! don't be mad moissanite is selling more than your diamonds.. oh yh HarlemBling make more money than you selling moissanite 😂😂😂
trying to be a diamond not its own stone gem what is he hating on this gem
Everyone is more informed thanks to the internet. We now know who the diamond assholes who Jack up the prices for not a rare stone AKA diamond. Wouldn't mind spending a decent amount of cash on a diamond but prices are falsely inflated. I guess I'll just spend my HARD-earned cash on a moissanite chain and go along with my day.
Whatever the name of the stone: it is worthless. Like you said, big propaganda.
Exactly the same concept applies to diamonds. Not "rare", never have been. The DeBeers monopoly and perception manipulation brainwashing (propaganda) advertising campaigns are really the only thing that make people think they are valuable. Neither stone has any inherent value.
Better to buy a small diamond than a large moissanite stone
I disagree. It depends on WHY you are buying it. If you're buying it for the hardness, then yes a diamond would be better. If you're buying it for sparkle and/or only looks, then moissanite would be better due to price.
Moissanite is better period.
Are there any legit jewelers/retailers that sell moissanite jewelry out there?
This video making me want moissanites even more lol diamonds don’t have value either only gold has value and I only liked jewels for the shine anyways lol
Try an sell the moisssanite chain back an see how much they tell u it’s worth
Buy a vvs1 moissanite for $100 and get $0 back in return trying to resale. You have lost $100. Buy a vvs1 diamond for $10,000 and get (maybe) 30% trying to resale. You have lost $7000. Which is to your advantage ? In the meantime, no one but an experienced jeweler can tell the difference between the two stones.
@@ralphbryant4575 advanced jeweler? Just shine your iPhone light and you can tell the difference lmao
Look the fact is man didn't Create it they just found a way how to make it in a lab , Dimonds really don't have value either you would have have a really big Dimond to have resell value
Hey brotha been following you for a while dope content I’m based out of Chicago and opening up a second location for a jewelry store and I want to start selling moissonites can you point me to a direction or whole sale me ? Thanks
Inthink gem stones are all a waste of money. Just to be fair regarding lab grown but they heat treat gem stones. Abd to your point about GRA. you know that
Gia grades lab grown diamonds too rigjt ?
I wouldn’t categorize a ruby as being a color how tf is it a color, it has a red color to it but the ruby doesn’t just become the color red. 😂😂
Ruby literally is a color. Red corundum crystals are what we call ruby.
Diamonds are not rare everyone has one.
Refractive rate is the wrong term. Its refractive index, jewelers trying to play gemologist is just hilarious
Well yes this is the incorrect term. As someone who became interested in lapidary work and tried to find jewelers that have some knowledge in gemology its surprising how little some jewelers know, now, I'm not saying Gus is completely ignorant like some of the jewelers in my home town.. its scary. But, It has inspired me to attend a gemology school as there are so many interesting stones out there. like color change garnets which are more rare... and not well known.
You probably think moissanite looks better because you can't afford a real diamond or don't want to invest in one. But honestly, if you were someone like Kate Middleton, would you really wear moissanite? No offense, but you need to be honest with yourselves. Yes, moissanite can be pretty, but put a 13-carat moissanite next to a 13-carat diamond and you'll see the difference. Moissanite looks candy-like, and its sparkle isn't as natural. once you see it, you will never be able to un see it. I totally get the arguments about ethically sourcing diamonds, but the reality is what comes out of the earth 🌎 will always be superior.
You might think more sparkle is better because you've never seen a real, large diamond. That's a bit amusing to someone with family in the jewelry industry. It's fine if you’re happy with your moissanite ring, but remember, the marketing for moissanite is strong. You might be convincing yourself it's better as a sort of defense mechanism, but you need to know that it's just not the same as a natural diamond.
Again, buy, moissanite… I have a friend who wears moissanite and she doesn’t know that I know that it’s moissanite. The comments about well I wore it and no one knew… believe me, any at least minimally, educated person on diamonds will be able to spot that. People resist the urge to offend, though…
Gold and silver are more valuable
Diamonds are worth NOTHING! Why? Go take your 2,3,4,karat diamond jewelry to pawnshops and watch what those SOBs will pay you for it! NOTHING! The pawnshops will throw the jewelry on a weight scale and they'll tell you we ONLY pay for the weight of the gold or silver! You are basically giving them your high priced diamonds for FREE!
lol in the same video he says people selling a lot of moissanite and then continues to say there is no demands. Bahaha I wear a moissanite pendant on my solid 10k Cuban and with my 14k rope chain. Haven’t had one person think it was moissanite.
Edgar made brenda a hug moissanite engagement ring. Brenda still can't get pregnant
😂
Diamant ist Mosanit-Imitat 🤫
Unless its your wifes wedding ring cause that goes without saying but anything else if you still buying diamonds you need to slap yourself. Stop worrying about what people think and stay in your lane/budget. Oh and your favorite rappers are wearing moissanite 🤷🏾♂️
He tryna get yall to keep spending money them worthless diamonds
It is its own thing 😂 it came from space
both are just marketed worthless rocks... one well marketed, one not so much; both still rocks. rather have precious metals. the diamond mob don't control precious metals.
No, but the COMEX damn sure does. Same concept, different manipulation. All financial markets are a racket.
Worthless lol but sell millions
Question : how many grams should a 12mm Cuban link chain at 22” 10k weigh?
Tubbs is salty
