He didn't get scammed, he was handed a certificate that says it's moissonite.
The jeweler in the video just wants to make moissanite look bad so people stop buying it, considering its getting more and more popular.
The fact that the certification is a copy of another brand and the brand itself is unknown makes it sussy
@@undead2146 It isnt a knockoff. It is professionally done to same standards
@@TheFrontyer no man, he is just telling that the certificate is fake. The stone can be a moissanite, but not a good quality one, there are the differences.. i habe bought a cheap moissanite 5usd on aliexpress and it came with the GRA certificate, when i scanned the qr code sent me to a fake website hahaha, but the cheap moissanite is beautiful and only 5 usd

Nothing cheap about Moissanite

@@Jerry_F true
@@deadmanswife3625 it’s CHEAPER. Meaning a fraction of the price
@@rocheman3771 less expensive is a fraction of the price. Cheaper has to do with quality.
Depending on what language you're speaking
Time to clear up some misinformation: Moissanite is a naturally occurring mineral that is in fact rarer than diamonds. Both can be and are actively artificially manufactured in labs. Moissanite is a fraction of the price of diamonds due to low demand; everyone knows about diamonds and everyone wants a Diamond but most people haven’t heard of Moissanite, therefore everyone is going to be looking for diamonds rather than Moissanite. This drives the price of diamonds up and the price of Moissanite down. Moissanite has a hardness of 9.5 whereas diamonds have a hardness of 10. Moissanite’s hardness is a negligible difference compared to a diamond’s and Moissanite actually has a far higher brilliance and much more beautiful shimmer. People who purchase diamonds either
A. Have never heard of Moissanite.
B. Don’t want to purchase Moissanite because it’s simply not a Diamond and they want to follow the crowd.
C. Don’t like Moissanite because it’s cheaper than Diamond and the high cost of a jewel to them is the only thing that makes it worth buying, as if it was a bragging point.
Thanks for clearing things up, some people don't even know gold is rarer than diamonds.
Everything expensive is just because of demand, so company's can get away with making it way more expensive
Thanks captain for that info.
@@ferasalghamdi8983 there are veins full of gold here in Australia that we can't mine, because it will destroy the value of gold
@@EthnoGrows good to know
The main advantage of a diamond over a moissanite is that dias can take a lot more heat than mois. But unlike CZs and white sappsubstitute, are other Dia substitutes, it can take some heat, allowing a jewel to do something work on its setting while it is still set.
He didn’t get scammed, he just can’t read. It’s literally written on the front of the certificate.
GRA???
OMG, GET CRANE RIGHT NOW!
I was looking for a comment like this
How to get scammed when it clearly says it's a moissanite?
Probably through it was a name of a diamond
Welp because moissanite, like cubic zirconium are substitute diamonds they are not diamonds they look and act similar but there are clear stark differences between the three. It also doesn’t help they sell them as Moissanite diamonds. I mean honestly it’s not a scam they were sold moissanite and got moissanite.
Heck moissanite could be the fancy Latin name for diamond or something
@@notchs0son it is a scam that we call diamonds as such, they should much better be called "carbon allotrope # " and colored diamonds as "carbon allotrope # with x% impurity"
@@HercadosP I mean it’s not that diamonds are a scam more so the entire industry built as a monopoly around diamonds is the scam, diamonds are still very pretty and a craftsman jeweler who makes a excellent cut should be what cost you not the raw uncut crystals.
Got my wife a moissanite engagement ring for 200 bc I’m broke. Looks like a real Diamond. The Diamond industry is the real scam
Did you tell her tho?

"I bought a diamond, but the paperwork says I bought a moissanite, can you tell me if I bought a diamond?"
What if it said Adamant on there? Surely you know by just reading it that you would know what it is even though there’s no indication that it refers to what the gem is made of.
some people actually thought moissanite is the same as diamond
Lol if bro just read the front he would of known it wasn't a diamond

Could you imagine putting that price on a piece of carbon lol one of the most abundant elements on earth haha
@@jeremymissens7608 I can, because thousands of people get suckered into buying these "carbon rocks" (as I like to call them) everyday, just to make a statement on how much they "love" their significant other, sad really. I'll stick with moissanite, or plain bands, thank you lol
Ya this is a beautiful stone anyway who cares about real 😂
Ironically the Moissanite is much much less of a scam... It's basically the same as a diamond in hardness, and it sparkles much nicer... Is much cheaper and doesn't get people killed in mines.
I lost it when I discovered lab grown diamonds are the exact same thing as natural diamonds
if you buy a diamond thinking it's an investment. I think you should reevaluate your life choices
Moissonite is cheaper but some say ever more beautiful than diamond. Great stone for wedding ring it is.
Diamonds are a scam in themselves through artifical scarcity, but thats common knowledge at this point. Moissonite reflects light better and prettier than diamonds do for a helluva lot cheaper
The real scam is that anyone was dumb enough to buy a diamond in the first place
Moissanite has a property called double refraction wich splits the light into 2 different refractions giving you a fuzzier but more colorful reflection, wich to some people seems fake, diamonds have a cleaner and more white refraction

GRA did nothing wrong, they correctly certified the gem, and labelled it. It’s just that the dumb consumer thought it was a diamond.
So it's not a fake certificate ?
@@nilariska9099I guess it _hypothetically_ could have been forged, but given that everything in the certificate is consistent with what we’ve been told about the gem itself, we have no reason to think it’s a fake. It also clearly states on the cover in plain text that it’s moissanite, so it wouldn’t really help prove a guy was reasonable in thinking it was a diamond.
they are a scam...
I mean sure they technically didn't do anything wrong but the fact that their certification papers look 99% identical to Gia means that most of their sales comes from shady business tactics at best
@@brianhull2407she was told that it is a moisonite diamond, a type of special diamond 😂
Serialized diamond's are like vehicle VIN numbers. Reason of the decline of sales everywhere.........

Love Moissanite! Way more sparkly than a diamond, 2nd to a diamond on Mohs Hardness Scale and waaay more affordable.
Same, that was my first thought! "It's moissanite? Damn that's even better! What are they complaining for?" Moissanites are way prettier and without artificial inflation.
That's not what the diamond marketing board wants you to think.
There's literally a cartel limiting the supply of gem-quality diamonds. The biggest hurdle I see might be convincing the prospective wearer they don't need a pricey gem to look pretty.
Moissanite is beautiful and most even say they are prettier than diamonds and most people think they are. Fun fact moissanite comes from meteor's, unfortunately they are so rare that finding natural moissanite is impossible and outrageously priced. So if you get one its like having a star on your hand ;)
@@russellmiller7177 just go to space my dude
Diamonds are a scam anyways. The one your customer brought in is exactly like a diamond but half the price.
And yet they paid the full price, making it a scam
@@markkealy4417 the report says moissanite very clearly several times
True... Just a pretty carbon stone 💀
@@markkealy4417 diamonds are a scam in the first place, the value of the diamond drops significantly once you make the purchase, the reason it's so expensive is because of the inflated prices and the propaganda by the companies
@@walterwhite4969 Yes, but he ordered it thinking it was one thing and it was not that thing, making it a scam. You passing judgment on him wanting the original thing is not a scam! There is a difference. Just because you disagree with the customers assessment of value doesn't mean you can making that determination for him.

Exactly. And moissanite is a moissanite but it's a better diamond tbh and nowhere near as expensive as a diamond. These diamond jewelers/scammers really gonna be hurting when more ppl find out what a moissanite is.

@@SouthernArawak yeah, I prefer moissanite to diamond for sure. I'm not paying a premium for a diamond, lab or earth. Moissanite is mad strong too, beautiful and not a blood diamond, not an overpriced lab diamond. I can get what I want out of moissanite for a few hundred bucks that I'd spend over twice as much for a lab diamond, 4 or 5 times as much for a crap level earth diamond.

Dang. I was hoping this joke wasn't taken yet.
Seems the game was rigged from the start.
This guy paid $100,dollars and expected to get a diamond.
Tbh i love moissanite more than diamond, it have higher reflective index than diamond, which make it sparklier.
I wouldn't mind having some moissanite jewelry. Looks as good as diamonds, almost as hard. I'll take some.
More beautiful actually. I bought my wife some “fakes” to wear when she was pregnant so she didn’t need to resize her ring. She got more compliments for the fake thing than her real rings.
The moissanite hits way harder honestly they are usually flawless
Much more shiny @@robertromero8094
moissanite actually looks a lot better than diamond. And second only to it in hardness. Honestly, if it weren't for the shady diamond industry, moissanite would be more popular and more expensive than diamond.
@@CreepyScotchTapeIt’s terrifying how corrupted the diamond market is. Artificially expensive due to artificial scarcity
The jewelers who sell REAL DIAMONDS are the biggest scammers ever. I payed $18,000 for a pendant and the day I got it, I took it to 3 different jewlery and pawn shops just to see how much I could get for it. I was offered $3,000 at all 3 places. Jewelers are complete scammers.
Yeah, don't invest in diamonds, invest in the metals!
Tell me you're uneducated without telling me you're uneducated.
u know pawn shop wint sell that for years plus they need ti earn and they think its used nit toally new so stfu
that is quite the coin spent on a rock
Yes. Just buy moissanite
got my diamond tester right here
He wasnt scammed, he didnt read.
So the customer got a diamond that isn’t part of a global scam run by a single company. Good for them.
Well done for educating people
I mean, the whole diamond business is kind of a scam anyways.
We can make diamonds that are indistinguishable from natural diamonds
Yeah like who pays for blant carbon.
@@arnabchaudhuri7233 Can't be any dumber than buying a real one .
And natural diamonds aren't really rare anyway. 90% of the mines are owned by one company that intentionally chokes down the supply. Ever try to sell a diamond second hand back to a dealer? Makes GameStop seem generous.
BUT WE CAN TELL THE DIFFRENCE WITH LAB EQUIPMENT SO IT COUNT AAH
Ya just a pretty carbon stone
If you paid attention you'd be worried too.
They went from finding a cure to grading diamonds
Is this the same client that paid a very cheap price for his "diamond"
Looks like my mans just can't read
the real scammers are the ones w/ massive vaults full of diamonds but are only lettin a handful out every year
Wouldn't want anyone out there to be faking sharpened rocks
Considering that you deal in diamonds, it's a little hypocritical to call out other scammers 😂
Got my wife a moissanite ring, great option. Pretty color and you can get a huge stone for the same price.
This is like saying "Best Buy scammed me out of an iPhone! When I bought that Galaxy Note box, I thought there was an iPhone in it!"
They didn’t get scammed. They just didn’t do their research correctly
Moisinite is actually better than a diamond but has a lower demand
How is it a scam when they told them exactly what they were buying.
Not a scam if they literally tell you what it is.
That is a legally distinct certificate if I ever saw one. 😂
It doesn't claim to be a diamond though
Mojssanite is indistinguishable from a diamond to a layman, and far less expensive. So which one is the scam?
Plus moistanite sparkles more
This video 💀👀
Only if he pays a lot for it.
The entire diamond industry
It’s indistinguishable if you have no idea what to look for, if it reflects like a rainbow moissanite white light and it’s diamond.
As opposed to getting scammed by paying for a diamond and getting a diamond
First thing that came in my head was grah keep it a stack LOL
*"a customer got scammed by a fake diamond"*
Well that was a close one.......he almost got scammed by buying a *real* diamond.
I’m a geologist and had a tour of the GIA facility and the head man working there told us to never ever buy diamonds. They’re common but the prices are kept artificially high due to most not being available on the market. On top of that there are massive diamond deposits we are fully aware of that are simply too deep to get to - yet. So geology tip of the day: don’t buy diamonds!
Unless you really want to I guess
Yeah fr. All this short taught me is that I should get Moisonite if I want some shiny white jewel that isnt as ridiculously expensive
Buy diamond i you just want it (and you can afford). Never buy diamonds for investment.
Diamond jewelry business is a scam.
i mean if u get a cert that says moissanite... smells like someone didnt listen or read.
The real scam is pretending that diamonds have any value and getting angry about people buying moissanite
The customer wasn’t scammed. He saw that clear in the certificate. BUT you scammed us into watching this video. 😂
The worst crime there is.
I never understood why people care it’s fake if they look exactly the same
Literally... you need lab equipment to tell the difference so who gives AF. It just comes down to bragging rights and how much they spent on a useless rock
They care because the value is much lower.
Which is mostly because diamonds are hyped up to an insane degree and the sellers want to keep the value up.
For a normal consumer (so in jewelry) there really isn't any difference between moissanite and diamonds except for their value.
@@blaster112the hype is because diamonds are labeled the hardest material, when I'm actuality moissanite IS harder and more durable than diamond, the reason this matters is from the saying "Form a bond as strong as diamond"
Umm maybe the value in real vs fake
They don't, this is just a diamond guy's channel who wants to spread the idea that people do
The word "IGI" is giving the og gamers next level nostalgia😢😢😢
He got scammed instead of getting scammed.
If it’s labelled as a moissanite, and was sold with a certificate authenticating its quality as a moissanite, that isn’t a scam.
The GRA "looks like a complete knock-off of the GRI report."
Yeah, that and it says 'Moissanite' in seriously large letters all over the certificate...
Like, if you’re knowledgeable enough to know what a GRI report looks like, you probably know the difference between moissanite and diamond and can read where it clearly says it’s moissanite on the cover.
He didnt get scammed, he just couldnt read...
I’ve never seen a scam tell the truth so blatantly lol
Yeah, but even if it's not a diamond, it's actually way prettier and nearly impossible to tell the difference using the naked eye. So, it's not a total loss
No kids died tho why tf would I want it

moissanite is better than diamond in my opinion, it's shinier and cheaper

I will die alone.
Do you have the colorless variant or the 'rainbow' like variant. Im really thinking about going for moissanite instead of diamond
@@theflyingdutchman22 I got the rainbow type, it looks different than a typical diamond but I personally loved it. I had the jeweler I was working with just show me a mix of diamond/moissanite without telling me and the moissanite won every time. the moissanite had this rainbow “fire” which makes it more interesting.
@@khoward5324 thanks a lot for the reply, really appreciate it! I will definitely take your advice and have a look at the jewler aswell. Thanks again!
The fact that the evnvolope literally said “moissonite” and still got scammed is insane
The biggest scam is that we bought into the idea that diamonds should be expensive.
FYI, with Charles and Colvard’ patented 4H cluster molecule structure for Moissanite the hardness is between 9.5 and 10. Which is the range for diamond. Diamond is just carbon where Moissanite is silicon-carbide. Aka Silicon and Carbon. Much prettier than diamond and natural Moissanite is more rare in nature than Diamond. Don’t knock it if you don’t know about it.
He knows about it but the bigger checks come from selling diamonds, not moissanite.
Moissanite is actually just as strong, sparkles more, and costs a tenth of the price of diamonds.
They're nearly as strong, have a crazy high refractive index which some people don't like, and the person presumably thought they were getting a diamond, so the "tenth of the price" part isn't exactly a benefit when you pay full price for something
@@markkealy4417 Oh I completely understand being pissed off about not getting what you pay for, I'm just saying that its pretty much a diamond in all but name. You put them side by side and the only real difference is that one sparkles more, the refractive index is high but its not obscene to look at.
@@baranthorsouthwind thats all well and good until you try to sell it haha, I'm assuming they payed extra because they assumed it'd hold its value (which diamonds tend to do). A fake rolex will tell the time even better than a real one, but I'd hate to shell out 3 grand for something worth 50
