I absolutely love my moissanite ring! We decided to go with a 3.5 ct pear shape, lab diamond halo and lab diamonds on the band. The contrast of the moissanite with the diamonds is absolutely stunning! I also filmed a YT video, if anyone is interested in viewing. Happy ring shopping!
I saw a ring on Etsy and fell in love. Had the ring picked even before the man! I didn’t pay much attention to what type of stone it had, I just knew it was beautiful and perfect. Before we ordered it, however, I did look a little into moissanite and the more I found out, that happier I was that my dream ring has it as a center stone. I honestly think it’s a no brainer. I would have been open to any stone really but the price of even lab grown diamonds is outrageous and nonsensical and the rest just aren’t hard enough. I do have some small diamonds as accents on the ring and there’s quite a few on the actual wedding band but that’s only because Charles and Colvard (the company our ring maker deals with) only makes moissanite of a certain size. Choose whatever you like and don’t let anyone else tell you what you should wear. If diamonds are your thing than you go for it and I hope you cherish them forever. Personally, I’m a moissanite girl all the way.
I have also found lab diamonds and moissanite excellent options. I see so many young couples that spend way way too much on a diamond engagement ring. The money should be put in a house.
Most of us really can't afford to throw 20K on a single small accessory but we expect our partner to cough out that kind of money which is insane. You can afford to buy your own diamond if you are that capable to deserve another capable being.

Yes, the center stone is a 9x7mm moissanite but the hidden halo and band has a total 1ct lab grown diamonds. My ring is by The True Gem, look them up they have both options.

Thank you for the information and I agree, in fact, it took me about ten years, but I finally bought a lab diamond for my wife and I was able to afford what I would have never had if it was mined. I say ten years because I have been paying attention and I am noticing how people are slowly transitioning. First, my cousin who is an avid lover of diamonds and has resources as well. She purchased a lab diamond years ago and what is interesting is that instead of concealing that detail, she brings it up as if proud that it is a lab diamond. She feels better knowing there is no risk slavery or abusive practices were applied, and no pristine land was violated and destroyed in the process. And, hers is a CVD, so it is pure, 100% carbon, colorless and absolutely stunning. In fact, the only way to know would be spending tens of thousands of dollars in equipment most jewelers do not have, to then analyze the gases inside the stone to figure out if it is mined (gas compositions 100 miles inside the Earth, or nitrogen and methane used in CVD. Yet, it s nothing different than a diamond. My analogy is that 100 years ago, gentlemen bought flowers for ladies on the street, from girls who picked up the flowers from nature, in other words, their local fields. Now, they buy them in stores that get them from green houses, controlled environments, so they are bigger and in custody while they grow and with fertilizers from bags instead of natural top soils....Nevertheless, they are BOTH flowers, natural flowers, one is not monitored and therefore it is random and the risk makes it less likely that a perfect flower is found, the other is closely watched and protected from diseases, etc. They are both flowers and no lady would ever think twice. And, yes, I am sure that some scientist can test them both and discover the one from the valley/field based on the nutrients and composition, but one is not less a flower than the other. Same with water, you can make ice from the freezer or go outside to the lake and get the ice naturally from the weather. Any idiot knows one will show tap water with fluoride when tested and the other is rain water with some impurities from the lake. THEY ARE BOTH ICE, made form water. Different ingredients, which are not necessary to call it ice are present in both, but what makes it ice, FROZEN WATER, is in each of them. In my case, our diamond was made with care for my wife, and I got to choose exactly how I wanted it to be, look, cut and size. It is as unique and I love that you mentioned the key factor for guys...it is not less valuable, is just that DeBeers hide/control/limit the supply thus artificially raising the market price. So, I would rather pay for what a lab diamond costs (significantly less nowadays and the price seemed to stabilize) because there is labor involved, there is also craftsmanship by perusing the stone, deciding how to cut, polishing, the equipment and energy to make it, etc. We know how much it costs to be profitable to them, rather than be taken for a fool and charge ten times more viciously for a mined when we know it costs actually less since the miner is a pauper who makes $5 a week and is not heavy to ship it to Europe since you could even fit hundreds in your pockets. Hence, I am afraid it costs less to mine a diamond than to produce it, but at least the lab diamond people do not betray our trust.
Are you kidding me if you waited that long than you should have bought from the earth duamonds much more valuable its crazy to buy lab grown diamonds from the earth only
Well balanced presentation; fair and truthful. They are all pretty. A Mined diamond is still the most precious stone, and the only that holds its original value. I recently learned, and was surprised to hear that manufacturers of lab diamonds, refuse to buy their manufactured diamonds back. In the past, most people didn't sell their diamond, but it is nice to know a mined diamond can fetch a significant amount, due to their higher and steady resell value.
Sorry but that's just not true. A natural diamond might hold more of it's value but it's still losing most of it's value as soon as you buy it. Unless you're buying a very large diamond
The only thing that will "hold its value" is a large bar of gold. You've been duped if you think you can resell a real diamond for anything close to its purchase price... Even diamonds get damaged over time. Prices are marked up by jewellers to thousands as sale value only, they do not buy them back from consumers when wholesalers have plenty. You could fetch maybe something like $50 at a pawn shop and even then it's usually the gold it's in that the value is based on. Diamonds have enormous sentimental value of course and most people don't actually attempt to sell them... Like with most things it's companies that make money from marketing them not us.
I really wish you had comparisons of East West Gem Co Moissanites as I find the Charles and Colvard has very classic cutting techniques and that's what causes the notice in the differences. Or if you were to compare the moissy, compare to similar cutting patters. You can't tell as much with the brilliant rounds, because those seem to be cut the same, but for the cushion and radiant, that's what is showing the difference.
How do you like it?! I had a real diamond ring, but i really want to try moissanite! I LOVE the sparkle. Not sure if i shoukd go lab grown or moissanite, after all the research. Too many opinions! Would you reccomend getting the moissanite?!
@@hopeforLosFloresafter doing my research I did quite alot and can say moissanite is better all the way even the lowest grade moissanite sparkles more than a diamond regardless however I'm selling an engagement ring if youd be interested in that one id prob sell it for $50 or $60 possibly $70
Totally agree. Most information I've read about mossanite comes from a jewellery website. And they emphasise strongly that mossanite don't have that shine and lustre like a diamond. They also say upon looking it is obvious to differentiate. And then they direct you to their engagement rings. 😂
I just bought a “past present and future” ring with a center diamond that is 3.21 carat, E color, Excellent cut VVS1 with two matching 1 carat outside diamonds. (3 diamonds total, 5.21 carats total) mounted on a platinum band, for just under $7,000. Amazing. This MUST be destroying the natural diamond industry. But damn, lab grown diamonds make 100% more sense. There are no good arguments to not go with lab grown. They are amazing.
That's the thing with capitalism.... natural diamonds aren't expensive for no reason ...people with that kind of money most of the time are educated and know diamonds as every mineral isn't just for flashing. I will stop here
@@vickyburton2434 thats way too exspensive lab grown should be much cheaper the best deal is diamonds from the earth this woman that sells diamonds on QVC is unbelievable a diamond lab grown bracelett for $5000 that would be for diamonds from the earth she ought to sell to the rich and famous they would believe this crap some people buy anything and end up in the poor house now you know why
Great information sub today thank you very much I want to take my 1 1/2 carat moissanite vvs1 stone and put it in a setting what is the best white gold yellow gold or silver please let me know thank you
Moissanite has a sort of cloudy glassy/glossy look, lab looks like a very clear and alot less glassy look and the natural diamond is flawless sparkling and reflecting any light in the room. Nature for the win.
I still vastly prefer lab grown for either diamond or moissanite. I like both for different purposes. Moissanite has a colder, grey color until the fire hits, then they sparkle very dramatically. Diamonds are a bit whiter. I disdain when people claim that they can tell the difference between lab grown and natural diamonds with the naked eye. Like, no, you really can't. Only difference is it costs less and you don't have to be worried that it was sourced from a mine that doesn't have ethical employment standards. Same is true for synthetic ruby, sapphire, topaz, amethyst, citrine, peridot, and any other gemstone that can be sourced with equivalent aesthetic standards to their natural counterparts. Emeralds are the only one where it is legitimately challenging for synthetics to be produced with aesthetic standards that match or exceed naturals. And synthetic is really the only way you'll be getting certain gemstones like tanzanite.
@@Yahsbsuq all gemstones have an inherent value due to their properties. Having said that, despite both being made in a lab they’re completely different stones with different properties which is what you’re paying for - not the method of creation. You can make ice cubes in a lab too but that doesn’t make them any more valuable. Lab made moissanites are still just moissanites and carry the inherent value of a moissanite.
@@thatchannel5294Or less money if you sell jewelry and can market it for any price selling a ring it has 14 VVS1 moissanite stones which are all 0.5 mm which thats very big
Just FYI, i ordered the Harro Gem elongated cushion and the Charles and Colvard. Harro Gem has different sizes and has the cut called a "diamond cut" which looks amazing. I highly recommend it. There is something called a crush ice cut that is also beautiful but i think there is an issue with the stone showing a haze or something under certain lighting conditions. The Charles and Colvard has boring brilliant cuts which sparkles but kind of boring.
Time to grow up and realize you are being duped with the fake value of diamonds. If I can build a Mercedes in my garage in 2 days that's identical to the 100K one on the showroom floor, that means that 100k price tag is fraud. Things with true value can't be replicated so easy.
Well it should be obvious what setting of moissanite sparkles the most which infact im selling a ring its 925 silver with a 0.5 carat moissanite stone which the color is D color best color and the clarity is FL best clarity and the cut is EX best cut 10/10 moissanite stone best you could ever get id probably sell this ring for $50 or $60
You cannot tell the difference between a mined diamond and a lab diamond. Not even the most highly trained and respected professionals can tell the difference unless they use equipment.
Theirs really no way to tell they all look identical. The easiest way to tell is the amount of cuts the stone has inside it. But with small stones it’s impossible to tell.
I have never had lab grown diamond, but I can’t really tell the difference I’m not saying that I would buy an lab grown diamond, but anything is possible .
We were 🤔😏brainwashed over 💎💍diamonds to overlook Moissanite and it rare properties. There are countless other gemstones that are rare as well. Some of which, we'll never discover. Can you please expound upon pink and other color diamonds, thank you❓❔
if anyone wants moissanite jewelry lmk cuz im selling 3 moissanite rings one is your average moissanite $33 one is VVS1 moissanite $75 and the best moissanite ring that I have well I haven't priced it yet but im thinking $50 or $60 maybe $70
Hi, you are correct, a moissanite is its own type of stone. It is made out of silicon carbide while diamonds and lab grown diamonds are made out of carbon!
Hello, due to the scarcity of naturally mined moissanites, we prefer to choose ethically grown man-made moissanites as they are more readily available.
The price difference between moissanites and lab-grown diamonds can be attributed to factors such as differences in rarity, market perception, manufacturing costs, and the production process involved.
Good question that's why lab grown diamonds are a scam they are currently over inflated in the price and are continously dropping with the more supply that hits the market in a couple of years lab grown diamonds will be around the same price as moissanite a fun fact they also test as moissanite they state there is no difference between lab grown and natural but their is chemically lab grown diamond are electric conductors while natural diamonds are not due to the chemical composition of both stones one has boron lab grown diamonds do while natural diamonds don't people are fooled everyday into thinking they are diamonds but they are very clearly separated to not interfere with the billions of natural diamonds that currently exist
natural moissanite was first discovered at bottom of a hole created by a meteor, that's how they're formed, by meteor impacting the earth. They are very rare and only found in tiny specks of 0.1-1.5mm size, the largest ever found is 4.1mm, and they are full of colours and impurities (asteroid hitting the Earth don't really create clean conditions for high purity crystals). So if you find any on sale that is white or clear and larger than a 1mm speck, it's not natural. not sure why you would even want a natural one except as a sample collection.
Hi Johnny, some people can spot the difference between a moissanite and natural/lab diamond. Lab and natural diamonds are very difficult to tell apart with your naked eye, they require further testing or you can check the GIA or IGI number inscribed on the stone.
Ppl talk bad about LG diamonds as if mined diamonds come out of the ground shiny and brilliant 😅. Natural diamonds are also MAN MADE, natural diamonds are “processed” to become sellable. Has anyone ever seen an “unprocessed” natural diamond? They ugly and look like a regular rock 😅
The obvious choice would then be a lab grown diamond. I don’t trust the pricing of the natural diamond which I believe is a marketing strategy by De Beers. Just go to any jewelry district that sells diamonds or diamond jewelry and there is no scarcity of diamonds. Try selling a natural diamond after you buy one and it’s next to impossible.
there are natural moissanite but they are extremely rare that they are not really even on the market. I think they are created by meteor of certain size or larger impact on the ground. that's how they were first discovered, bottom of an ancient hole created by a meteor.
Personally, I see the difference in the clarity. If you get a super high quality natural stone and get its counterpart then I’d say you will always win getting lab grown, but when it comes to larger natural stones, I prefer a little less opacity. My 2 cents. Thanks for the information!
Are we really living in a glass house where a complete stranger asks you are those real your wearing or Lab made because if there is not coal then you're not in the club LoL ✌️
I like how diamonds look, but their price is artificially inflated. They release them slowly to create the illusion of scarcity. There are over 1 Quatrillion Tons of diamonds in the earth. I feel like a sucker for the diamonds I purchased in the past.
@juhadexcelsior diamonds are supposed to be like ice.... that's the whole point of the white light and why they say "iced out" . The rainbow makes moissanite look more like cz
@@MasterofLOLsha Both Cz and diamond have equivalent and the same level of rainbow effects, moissanite outshines both in a totally different category of its own. CZ has a closer refraction number closer to diamond than moissanite. CZ is nowhere near moissanite when it comes to rainbow effect. It's chemically impossible and is actually visually closer to diamond.

I have no idea how moissanites look like. Moissanites on Temu don't look white clear like in this video. They are more yellow. LOL. I like diamond more.
I can tell the difference between moissanite, lab grown or diamond just by looking at them. Moissanite is just lifeless shiny stone. Lab grown is closer to diamond by sparkles and fire, but I found lab diamonds are stupid expensive. Just add more and buy diamond. Diamonds forever!
I’m calling bullshit on all of those here that are saying they can see the difference. If jewelers that have been working 10+ years with these stones can’t tell the difference then I doubt Karen who looked at stones for 3 days can.
Lab grown diamonds have no resale value. There is no scarcity and are unlimited. That means there can be infinite and if there is infinite value goes down. If your thinking of upgrading later that lab diamond won’t be worth much because there has been hundreds and thousands made after the fact.
Only a fool would waste their money on a natural diamond. When the naked eye cannot tell the difference, there is no reason to spend the extra money. If she demands a natural diamond, run!
DIAMONDS ARE FOR SUCKERS. I CANT EVEN BELIEVE P ARE ACTUALLY STILL GET RIPPED OFF De Beers made one of the steepest cuts to its diamond prices in years, as the world's top producer tries to revive gem sales after the market ground to a halt. The industry almost came to a complete standstill in the second half of 2023 as the two biggest miners all but stopped supplies in a desperate attempt to stem a collapse in prices.
Diamonds don't take millions of years. Natural diamonds with the right neural conditions can be formed in weeks to months. Question for you market story tellers. How long does carbon last for? How can diamonds have carbon in them if carbon lasts for only..... I'll let you look at that. It is a lie that the industry tells I order to have a very high price. Natural diamonds do are beautiful and can stay in the ground for a while. And it takes a lot of work to cut them..but there are a lot of diamonds. So you have countries like Russia that holds back millions of carrots of diamonds in order to control the narrative or over pricing the Diamonds. Anyway. Thought I would put my two cents in
My wife has both but she recommends moissanite 😂 real diamond looks boring. She prefers the flashy sparklers . I’m planning on selling my diamond for 38k if anyone is interested?? 😅
Go for a moissanite. Honestly 8 out of 10 people won't be able to tell the difference. Unless you're American then buy a diamond. You guys are elstupido. Stay elstupido

Yea, the quality of labs is amazing now!

Great information sub today thank you very much I want to take my 1 1/2 carat moissanite vvs1 stone and put it in a setting what is the best white gold yellow gold or silver please let me know thank you
Thank you. Such a helpful video! Happily gave the 800th like.
This video saves me $20,000 ! 😋
Lol
very helpful and informative. thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Moissanite has a sort of cloudy glassy/glossy look, lab looks like a very clear and alot less glassy look and the natural diamond is flawless sparkling and reflecting any light in the room. Nature for the win.
I still vastly prefer lab grown for either diamond or moissanite. I like both for different purposes. Moissanite has a colder, grey color until the fire hits, then they sparkle very dramatically. Diamonds are a bit whiter.
I disdain when people claim that they can tell the difference between lab grown and natural diamonds with the naked eye. Like, no, you really can't. Only difference is it costs less and you don't have to be worried that it was sourced from a mine that doesn't have ethical employment standards. Same is true for synthetic ruby, sapphire, topaz, amethyst, citrine, peridot, and any other gemstone that can be sourced with equivalent aesthetic standards to their natural counterparts. Emeralds are the only one where it is legitimately challenging for synthetics to be produced with aesthetic standards that match or exceed naturals. And synthetic is really the only way you'll be getting certain gemstones like tanzanite.
Moissanite gang all day
Dope video
So I like Moissanite
Is there a large price difference between a lab grown vs moissanite?
To some degree yes- depends on the size of the stone but for a 2 carat stone, a lab grown will be about $4000 more
Yeah, you can get a 2 carat moissante for around $100
@@laurenbjewelrywhy is that if they’re both made in a lab under similar conditions? Is this artificial price inflation?
@@Yahsbsuq all gemstones have an inherent value due to their properties. Having said that, despite both being made in a lab they’re completely different stones with different properties which is what you’re paying for - not the method of creation. You can make ice cubes in a lab too but that doesn’t make them any more valuable. Lab made moissanites are still just moissanites and carry the inherent value of a moissanite.
@@thatchannel5294Or less money if you sell jewelry and can market it for any price selling a ring it has 14 VVS1 moissanite stones which are all 0.5 mm which thats very big
On etsy, trying to order a ring and the lab created option is half the price of moissanite. Any idea why?
Lab diamonds still use the 4c scale bigger Mossinite are still higher price. I prefer lab imo cause mossi in the light they remind me of cz
What kind of moissanite was used in this video?
Harro Gem elongated cushion and for the round it is Charles & Colvard
@@laurenbjewelry Thanks, what are the cuts?
Just FYI, i ordered the Harro Gem elongated cushion and the Charles and Colvard. Harro Gem has different sizes and has the cut called a "diamond cut" which looks amazing. I highly recommend it. There is something called a crush ice cut that is also beautiful but i think there is an issue with the stone showing a haze or something under certain lighting conditions. The Charles and Colvard has boring brilliant cuts which sparkles but kind of boring.
Do you buy rough diamond?
Time to grow up and realize you are being duped with the fake value of diamonds. If I can build a Mercedes in my garage in 2 days that's identical to the 100K one on the showroom floor, that means that 100k price tag is fraud. Things with true value can't be replicated so easy.
I agree!
Why does the natural diamond have rainbow lighting
Hi Mahnoor, it is just the way the lighting is hitting its facets!
Which setting is the best for moissanite to help it sparkle the prettiest (most) haha ? Theyre gorgeous.
Hi, you can email info@laurenb.com and a design consultant can give you some advice!
Well it should be obvious what setting of moissanite sparkles the most which infact im selling a ring its 925 silver with a 0.5 carat moissanite stone which the color is D color best color and the clarity is FL best clarity and the cut is EX best cut 10/10 moissanite stone best you could ever get id probably sell this ring for $50 or $60
❤Moissonite ❤
Nice
Very nice vidéo💯👍
Thanks!
I see the difference very clear. Real diamonds are like river water it’s gorgeous
Thank you for that excellent explanation! Not!
You cannot tell the difference between a mined diamond and a lab diamond. Not even the most highly trained and respected professionals can tell the difference unless they use equipment.
Team Moissanite 💎💎💎💎
Theirs really no way to tell they all look identical. The easiest way to tell is the amount of cuts the stone has inside it. But with small stones it’s impossible to tell.
I have never had lab grown diamond, but I can’t really tell the difference I’m not saying that I would buy an lab grown diamond, but anything is possible .
We were 🤔😏brainwashed over 💎💍diamonds to overlook Moissanite and it rare properties. There are countless other gemstones that are rare as well. Some of which, we'll never discover.
Can you please expound upon pink and other color diamonds, thank you❓❔
if anyone wants moissanite jewelry lmk cuz im selling 3 moissanite rings one is your average moissanite $33 one is VVS1 moissanite $75 and the best moissanite ring that I have well I haven't priced it yet but im thinking $50 or $60 maybe $70
You forgot to mention that moissanite also detects as a diamond on the diamond tester
Hey guy's pease update your video quality, 720p is bot enough to see the beauty of these we need 4k
Why do you compare a real moissanite to to real diamond
Doesn't moissanite take longer to lab grow?
It all depends on the size and shape!
With this information, I gather that moissanite is its own stone. I am assuming in short it’s not a fake diamond could somebody let me know
Hi, you are correct, a moissanite is its own type of stone. It is made out of silicon carbide while diamonds and lab grown diamonds are made out of carbon!
Lab diamond is where it’s at
So you didn't review / don't review natural mind moissanite only man made moissanite?
Hello, due to the scarcity of naturally mined moissanites, we prefer to choose ethically grown man-made moissanites as they are more readily available.
Thine comment is 💯💯💯💯true, cute, worded, quite cleverly, hilarious.🤩🤣😆🙃😀
I'm going to Google the price ranges of naturally, minded Moissanites.
Get lab grown type IIa.
In 3 minutes or less! Video length: 4:39
If both are lab-grown, why are moissanites 90% cheaper than lab-grown diamonds?
The price difference between moissanites and lab-grown diamonds can be attributed to factors such as differences in rarity, market perception, manufacturing costs, and the production process involved.
@@laurenbjewelryit’s just that they are diamonds, it’s the market that decides it people love them. However, people are also not that smart lol.
Good question that's why lab grown diamonds are a scam they are currently over inflated in the price and are continously dropping with the more supply that hits the market in a couple of years lab grown diamonds will be around the same price as moissanite a fun fact they also test as moissanite they state there is no difference between lab grown and natural but their is chemically lab grown diamond are electric conductors while natural diamonds are not due to the chemical composition of both stones one has boron lab grown diamonds do while natural diamonds don't people are fooled everyday into thinking they are diamonds but they are very clearly separated to not interfere with the billions of natural diamonds that currently exist
I read that natural moissanite is very rare. Is it?
Yes very rare in its natural state
@@laurenbjewelry I see a couple of natural moissanite listed for sale...how can I be sure it's natural?
natural moissanite was first discovered at bottom of a hole created by a meteor, that's how they're formed, by meteor impacting the earth. They are very rare and only found in tiny specks of 0.1-1.5mm size, the largest ever found is 4.1mm, and they are full of colours and impurities (asteroid hitting the Earth don't really create clean conditions for high purity crystals). So if you find any on sale that is white or clear and larger than a 1mm speck, it's not natural. not sure why you would even want a natural one except as a sample collection.
@@crystalrobbinsgreen5785 natural moissanite is extremely rare so if it’s affordable, it was grown in a lab.
yes but how do you tell the difference...geesh
Hi Johnny, some people can spot the difference between a moissanite and natural/lab diamond. Lab and natural diamonds are very difficult to tell apart with your naked eye, they require further testing or you can check the GIA or IGI number inscribed on the stone.
@@laurenbjewelry
Lab/Natural difficult to spot with the naked eye?
Actually IMPOSSIBLE to detect with the naked eye.
Ppl talk bad about LG diamonds as if mined diamonds come out of the ground shiny and brilliant 😅. Natural diamonds are also MAN MADE, natural diamonds are “processed” to become sellable. Has anyone ever seen an “unprocessed” natural diamond? They ugly and look like a regular rock 😅
The obvious choice would then be a lab grown diamond. I don’t trust the pricing of the natural diamond which I believe is a marketing strategy by De Beers. Just go to any jewelry district that sells diamonds or diamond jewelry and there is no scarcity of diamonds. Try selling a natural diamond after you buy one and it’s next to impossible.
Moissanite diamonds are so stunning. You can't hardly tell the difference between the real diamond 💎 or moissanite diamond 💎.
Moissanites are not diamonds. Diamonds are diamonds. Moissanites are just moissanites.
@@libaz82 whatever.
@@janetmoore5645 moissanite is it’s own thing lol it’s a gemstone that’s different than a diamond
@@miguell2731 whatever
This is like saying “Opal diamonds are so stunning” it makes no sense. You can say whatever all you want but you sound uneducated.
Is moissonite lab grown ? or do we get natural moissanite
Lab grown
@@laurenbjewelry thanks. I too found out. many are misleading as natural stone.
there are natural moissanite but they are extremely rare that they are not really even on the market. I think they are created by meteor of certain size or larger impact on the ground. that's how they were first discovered, bottom of an ancient hole created by a meteor.
Personally, I see the difference in the clarity. If you get a super high quality natural stone and get its counterpart then I’d say you will always win getting lab grown, but when it comes to larger natural stones, I prefer a little less opacity. My 2 cents. Thanks for the information!
Natural for the win, some snakey jewelry sales people would say they are the same as lab. Sure they look the same but natural will always be better
No
Webster is Mojasdanite
Only one here has the oil slick problem.
Are we really living in a glass house where a complete stranger asks you are those real your wearing or Lab made because if there is not coal then you're not in the club LoL ✌️
I like how diamonds look, but their price is artificially inflated. They release them slowly to create the illusion of scarcity. There are over 1 Quatrillion Tons of diamonds in the earth. I feel like a sucker for the diamonds I purchased in the past.
sounds like the Kimberley process is the total scam of diamond suppliers self-certifying their own diamonds as ethically sourced.
Seems legit 🤦♂
Basically zero difference between moissanite and diamond apart from subtle differences in sharpness and fire.
The diamond looks more "crisp" and the rainbow gives it away. Could tell immediately which one was the moissanite
@@MasterofLOLsha diamond looks more dull, it lacks color
@juhadexcelsior diamonds are supposed to be like ice.... that's the whole point of the white light and why they say "iced out" . The rainbow makes moissanite look more like cz
@@MasterofLOLsha Both Cz and diamond have equivalent and the same level of rainbow effects, moissanite outshines both in a totally different category of its own. CZ has a closer refraction number closer to diamond than moissanite. CZ is nowhere near moissanite when it comes to rainbow effect. It's chemically impossible and is actually visually closer to diamond.
@juhadexcelsior lol buy it doesn't flash white ! Even if they both flash rainbow at the same lvl it's not the point its the refraction of white light

I have no idea how moissanites look like. Moissanites on Temu don't look white clear like in this video. They are more yellow. LOL. I like diamond more.
I can tell the difference between moissanite, lab grown or diamond just by looking at them. Moissanite is just lifeless shiny stone. Lab grown is closer to diamond by sparkles and fire, but I found lab diamonds are stupid expensive. Just add more and buy diamond. Diamonds forever!
I’m calling bullshit on all of those here that are saying they can see the difference. If jewelers that have been working 10+ years with these stones can’t tell the difference then I doubt Karen who looked at stones for 3 days can.
Natural diamonds has lot of unclusion.
It depends on the diamond.
Buy a Moissanite ring, with the rest of the money have a nice vacation.
Hilll Pass
Wrong. Natural diamond prices have been consistently going down year over year.
Lab grown diamonds have no resale value. There is no scarcity and are unlimited. That means there can be infinite and if there is infinite value goes down. If your thinking of upgrading later that lab diamond won’t be worth much because there has been hundreds and thousands made after the fact.
Lmao same with natural diamonds. There's literally tons of it. It's just the company intentionally strict the supply and control the price 😂
@@ariefghani2380 yeah but it’s more limited then lab. It’s called demand and supply. To much supply depreciates
lol the people controlling the diamond market are scamming y’all🥂🤣💎
The Moissanite looks less clear
Only a fool would waste their money on a natural diamond. When the naked eye cannot tell the difference, there is no reason to spend the extra money. If she demands a natural diamond, run!
😂
It's a investment, lab diamonds are not
@@jacob0316 It’s not an investment, just try and resell it, and see how much less you get than what you originally paid!
Diamond expensive not because of creation process, it's because ONE FREAKING COMPANY CONTROLS THE WHOLE MARKET
Moissanites are very rainbow glittery as opposed to the silvery white sparkle of a natural or lab grown diamonds. Don't like them at all.
DIAMONDS ARE FOR SUCKERS. I CANT EVEN BELIEVE P ARE ACTUALLY STILL GET RIPPED OFF De Beers made one of the steepest cuts to its diamond prices in years, as the world's top producer tries to revive gem sales after the market ground to a halt.
The industry almost came to a
complete standstill in the second half of
2023 as the two biggest miners all but
stopped supplies in a desperate attempt
to stem a collapse in prices.
Diamonds don't take millions of years. Natural diamonds with the right neural conditions can be formed in weeks to months. Question for you market story tellers. How long does carbon last for? How can diamonds have carbon in them if carbon lasts for only..... I'll let you look at that. It is a lie that the industry tells I order to have a very high price. Natural diamonds do are beautiful and can stay in the ground for a while. And it takes a lot of work to cut them..but there are a lot of diamonds. So you have countries like Russia that holds back millions of carrots of diamonds in order to control the narrative or over pricing the Diamonds. Anyway. Thought I would put my two cents in
My wife has both but she recommends moissanite 😂 real diamond looks boring. She prefers the flashy sparklers . I’m planning on selling my diamond for 38k if anyone is interested?? 😅
I wish if somebody gift mea huge real shiney diamond rings 💍 😭😭😭😭😭
Moissanite is not SILCONE carbide!!!!!! It’s SILICON carbide!!!!!
Cubic wins💀
Moissanite look fake asf
If it ain’t real, I don’t want it😢
Natural or Lab diamonds are both real
Bro you really need a manicure
Go for a moissanite. Honestly 8 out of 10 people won't be able to tell the difference. Unless you're American then buy a diamond. You guys are elstupido. Stay elstupido
Nat diamonds ..a hyped scam job.
Do not buy natural diamonds! It is absolutely stupid!
stop biting your nails.
