    I've had my moissanite ring for over 20 years, my husband bought it for me after 10 years of being married and not having an engagement ring. I still wear it today and it is still beautiful. Your ring is beautiful and will keep its beauty for years to come.

      Kelly Pratz did you have any problems with the ring? Like did the stone ever fall out? Did the clarity stay clear? Do you have to care for it in a special way? If you get pregnant do they offer resizing?

      @@Precious211 Hi, I don’t mean to intercept this question, as it wasn’t directed at me, but I know that it’s not the stone that decides if sizing can be done or not, but the band. Silver I think can only be sized once, but if you have gold or platinum, I believe that sizing is possible more often. That, of course would be up to a jeweler, but the Moissanite will be just as wonderful even if the band is resized. I hope this helps. I noticed you never got an answer to your question. 😇

    I’m so happy to hear people speaking up about how amazing moissanite rings are. My wedding set is made of diamonds, but after a few kids....it doesn’t fit anymore. I did not want to spend that kind of money again, so I got a replacement ring out of Moissanite. I couldn’t be happier with it. It’s a approximate 2ct emerald cut, with approximately 1/4ct baguettes on each side. People grab my hand all all time and ask about it. I never pretend its a diamond, rather, I educate them on how great Moissanite stones are!

  • @jovk2372
    @jovk2372 4 ปีที่แล้ว +72

    I so wish my husband and I had gone this route. I LOVE my diamond ring/set that he chose for me - he got the style I wanted without me having to tell him anything - but I wish he hadn’t put so much $$$ down for a “real” diamond when we could have gotten soooo much more for a moissanite. We were just very uneducated though. When we upgrade my ring in a few years, we are definitely going this route. Thanks for sharing. Your ring is beautiful!!

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi

      I totally get that! A few years ago I feel like a diamond was seen as really the only option! But now there are amazing alternatives all over the place and I’m just so glad we have the choice now to have a stunning ring that isn’t the same price as a down payment for a house 😩

    Thank you for this video... it’s been a huge journey for me and my soon-to-be fiancé on finding a ring. When I saw yours I fell in love with moissanite and had been contacting so many companies to see who would be the one to make my ring. We were very close to going with Zen and I kinda had my mind made up on them till I found someone else on Etsy who had the perfect ring for me! I finally got pictures of it this morning and hopefully we’ll be receiving it next week. 🥺 Your ring is absolutely beautiful and I love that you were honest about wanting a big stone but not wanting a diamond. I am the same way, and if anyone asks if my ring is “real” I will say yes, it’s moissanite. I don’t think engagement rings HAVE to be diamonds and I am not going to lie and say mine is a diamond. Moissanite is a wonderful alternative and I hope more people start getting it. I can’t wait to receive it!

    You essentially got it right! It was initially discovered in its natural form in a meteor crater! Its natural occurrence is pretty rare but we're so lucky that it can be synthesized because it is hands down my favorite stone.

    Im not putting down anyone here im truely not but i notice that the way people propose has totally changed.
    Remember when people would just have a ring and propose and it would be a suprise.
    It seems like a sign of the times that people now pick their ring and get it designed and paid for so know they will be getting a proposal and its not really a suprise.
    I see so many people doing this now and i have to say it is an appealing idea. Ive bee engaged once and my partner got me a ring that just was not me at all and i hated wearing it so i do very much see the appeal of doing it this way

    Okay ladies and gentlemen let me explain what is a moissanite.
    Composed of Silicone Carbide this gemstone was originally found in a meteorite by Henry Moissan.
    This gemstone is naturally occurring however has been found in miniscule amounts, so if someone where to purchase organic naturally occurring moissanite it would be extremely expensive and unfortunately it cannot be made into jewelry becuase its that small. HOWEVER scientists discovered how to make it in a lab! Now unlike diamonds a moissanite has no inclusions (imperfections)
    They are beautiful and brilliant 👏 how ? Well on the Mohs scale of hardness (which rates the strength of a gemstone)
    Moissanite is rated at a 9.25
    While Diamond's are rated
    as a full 10.
    This means they are the worlds 2nd hardest gemstone. Aside from that they actually are more brilliant than a diamond and have a bigger refractive index, meaning their fire (light, sparkle) has a longer range.
    And not to mention they give off a beautiful rainbow sparkle and shine.
    While diamonds usually give off a white sparkle and shine.
    Want more detail?
    Just look up what is a moissanite? on TH-cam its a 2 minutes video by Charles and Calvard

    Hey Alyssa, I would love a moissanite but am worried that it may throw lots of fire which I don’t like. Does your crushed ice throw fire all the time or only in very certain lights?

    • @alyssamakesamigurumi
      @alyssamakesamigurumi  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Soft Pickles hi! I love my moissanite so much and I notice that the crushed ice doesn’t always throw tons of fire, only in direct light! I included lots of different lighting situations in this video to try and illustrate that 😊

    Well I certainly love my moissanite and diamond ring with matching diamond band. Not from Zen, but still gorgeous. Moissanite is an exceptional gem and it’s perfect for those that want the look of a diamond, but not have to pay such high prices. In fact, my moissanite is more brilliant than my diamonds, even when cleaned and shined. It’s outstanding!

    Yup. Diamonds are intrinsic value. I’ve sold multiple $5-15,000 rings and jewelry for $300 or less. You can only sell for gold value- I’ve had them rip diamonds out and toss them- they’ll give them back to you if you ask.

      Sarah T yes I did. The ring is beautiful but they screwed up a few things we paid for. They forgot to add the cathedral & on the website they said it was modern white but my stone is yellow in certain light and in pictures. I got an emerald cut halo

  • @supernova11711
    @supernova11711 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    It is beautiful but I will never understand how some of you ladies wear something so large on your finger lol. I’m more into a detailed, intricate band. Mine is kind of an infinity design band in white gold but has rose gold accent pieces on it in the shape of roses. It does have some small diamonds on the band (mostly the actual wedding band) but the main stone is a princess cut moissanite 6mm which is the equivalent to 1.3K if one were to get a similarly cut diamond.
    Honestly, it was bigger than I thought it was going to be when it arrived! That’s already going to be an adjustment to me! Lol!
    I’m sure the bands(s) influence that a lot though. You can have a bigger (huge) stone, but it won’t feel as heavy with a simple band.
    Still though…don’t think I could do it personally.
    Congratulations though!!! It really is STUNNING!

    Let me help anyone wanting a diamond. Go to a fine jeweler, a family owned jewelry store not a chain. Walk in say you want (let's go round, round looks bigger. Tell them you want VS2 or better, DEF color .75 to .90 it will look like one carat and be so beautiful it's all you'll see. The stone should cost around 3500 4550 depending. The setting on an 18k with not large elaborate setting are around 900 to 1300 and don't pay more

Having a man that listens to what I want is a huge turn on 😍🙉❤️

    My husband wanted to get me a diamond for our engagement, I asked for a moissanite. It's a 1ct equivalent oval, on a platinum band. I loved it, 14 years ago and still do. It's one of the original (called classic moissanite now) and it does have a greenish tint in some natural light. It's a bummer, and I don't wear it on cloudy days. Anyway, I have a forever one, which needs to be set; I may ask for it to be done as a Christmas gift this year.
    One the other hand....
    For our 10 year wedding anniversary, in 2016, he got me an amazing 1.25 ct round natural diamond with a beautiful halo. Like you said, diamonds have very LOW re-sale value. We purchased the ring on Ebay (pre-owned) for $1,600. I had it appraised for insurance purposes; it appraised for $11K. Please try to purchase estate or pre-owned when possible, it saves you SO MUCH money. I love being able to change up my look, so to speak.

    I’m currently shopping for an engagement ring and I’m really trying to convince my boyfriend to buy a moissanite. He is not yet sold and says that he doesn’t want to spend money on something that will wear off or “fake”. I’m wondering after nearly a year since you got your ring have you lost any fire or brilliance? Do you have to be extra careful when caring for it?

    From what I understand Moissanite came from a meteor so it’s not something that originated from earth like a diamond. But because the occurrences is rare there is not enough moissanite on earth so it is created in a lab. So it is “real” moisssanite just not from space anymore more
