I got Moissanite earrings for Christmas and OH MY DO THEY SHINE. Thank you for your channel

[arturoleonardoeyre]

Also u can get certified moissanite jus like diamond. They class them the same way. Trust a clarity D vvs1 is better nd more beautiful than any low scale S1 or S2 diamond. So why waste money on a diamond unless it flawless 1 or 2 or vvs1 or 2. A moissanite VVS1 will shit on any low grade diamond. Also not many people but the very wealthy can afford a flawless 1 or 2 diamond or even vvs1 or 2. Ur talking 100 of thousands of dollars for the cut color carit nd clarity of that of a real diamond. Go moissanite because it has more reflective light more beautiful fire nd half the price. And they are a real gemstone!!!

I like moissanite simply because it shines brighter than a diamond. It cost less than a diamond. It looks better than a diamond and moissanite is the shiniest stone in the world and diamonds are overrated and overpriced.

I bet the price of moissanite will sky rocket in the next ten years maybe even surpass diamond because of the rarity of it in nature. And its fire nd brilliance. Moissanite is the only gem that passes as a diamond on a detector. I got a tennis chain made of moissanite for 5 grand oppose to a diamond tennis chain that is 50, 000 and nobody can tell it apart from a real diamond chain. Without taking it to a jeweler. Very hard to tell the difference to the untrained eye. And they test possitive as a diamond on most diamond testers. But 5 grand for a chain is still not cheap. But it beats 50, 000 any day of the week. So moissanite is not that cheap. But way less expensive as a diamond. Ur basically paying double just to say its diamond. But yet moissanite passes diamond testers lol diamond is going to loose value wen more people discover moissanite

I can’t disagree with anything you said. Very true about natural Diamond. It’s abundant but heavily marketed by you know who, and supply is controlled. I own a few Moissanites and they are beautiful. I also have some natural Silicone Carbide in my collection which is amazing, it just looks like it’s rolled in glitter. Thank you for taking you time and effort producing this video. 👍💯💫

Show this to my fiance. You just made my day. Subscribed!!!!

My engagement ring is moissanite and never stops shinning.

[kloveslvandcckelli]

You couldn’t have said it better!! I can’t wait to sell my diamond and buy a moissanite 😃

[ithrynluin]

You did a great job. Well said and documented. Well done.

[cbreeze]

Moissanite that is put in jewelry is lab created. So yes, it’s a fake (not a natural gem stone).

I really wanted to like this video, but it was so redundant and hard to get through. Next time write out your script or do more aggressive editing. This video should be at least 50-60% shorter

Thanks for all the info on Moissanite! I had no idea what it even was so this was very informative!

[janetmoore]

I still like my moissanite diamonds they are great they look as good as the real diamonds I think in my opinion.

[laronbluewater]

Very nice video, you explained it very well I totally agree on all points you made in the video.

[rixbrazil]

Thanks for your commentary. Everything you uttered is indeed valid. I've collected several moissanite pieces over the years. Yet, I confess that it is not what I reach for first when I want to dress to the nines.

We must get it through our thick skulls not to compare the two, as they are different. I also hear jewellers constantly making a comparison to highlight the affordability of Moissanite and thus generate more sales. In so doing, I think they denigrate the value of Moissanite because they make it seem like a less expensive substitute! Because of constantly being subjected to such an ideology, I feel as if I'm compromising or 'settling' when I wear my Moissanite. Your pep talk will help me work harder to think otherwise.

May I please offer a humble suggestion regarding your monologue? Attempt to avoid "word whiskers" like: Actually. Your must have said it at least 25 to 30 times. It became distracting, especially when it was thrown in at random...similar to the way some over season food by continuing to add salt or sugar.

Again, may thanks for your dissertation.
