I couldn't give a damn which one is more colorless, that's insignificant for me. Bomb fire, bomb brilliance, good clarity and we good to go. I'm a solid gold jewelry shopper, but I welcomes the moissanite.
This isn’t a review, this is a high quality class!
Thank you for educating us, you seem amazing at what you do 👏🏼
Thank you kindly Larissa. 🙏🏻❤️
I love my moissanite! It's the 1.8 carats (the equivalent of a 2 carat diamond). There is no way I would have ever asked my husband to buy me a diamond. I've looked up comparable diamonds, although my moissanite was just listed as "white". I understand that you're showing things from a jeweler's perspective, but I'll be honest. I couldn't tell the difference between any of the stones you lined up. I'm happy with my ring, I'll proudly tell anyone who admires it that it's a moissanite, because I love the gemstone. When you come down to it, that's really all that matters when buying jewelry. Now, I did pay more for my moissanite than they're charging for it on Alibaba, but I was paying for the jeweler's time and expertise. He did an amazing job on my custom ring set, and he deserves to be paid for it.
Yeah, it's ok usually, but if your not Fn around you, buy the real real because you know what it is, and that's enough. I wear the real bloodiest of diamonds and love it because I'm a cold-hearted cut throat apex alpha and weather treat my jackets with children's tears.
@@Roguesheepdog - I am wearing a "real" stone. It's real moissanite. I don't pretend it's a diamond, because I honestly don't care for diamonds. They're nowhere near as pretty as moissanite. You do you. I'll do me.

I love mine also. I don’t think I’ll ever buy a diamond again.
I have a 2ct Diamond and I am looking to “upgrade” to a moissanite for our 20th wedding anniversary this year. I just love the sparkle and fire of a moissanite.
Definitely not an upgrade. Diamond to costume jewelry...
I have a lovely 2 carat round diamond, but I love the sparkle that I get from my moissanite ring. Also, I don't have the stress wearing the diamond that I have wearing the moissanite. PS. No one has said a word to me asking if the moissanite is real. Do it!
@@happydisneyteacher7557how about in low light setting. I find diamond sparkle better in low light setting
@@luvvtotravel Times change and consumers determine value. There was a time in the 1600s when a single tulip bulb was worth the value of a house. One day man-made diamonds and moissanite may be worth more than natural diamonds.
Do it. Marking this milestone with a weight that matches the commitment. Don't let anyone confine your own happiness. You have what many cannot achieve.
You are both a gentleman and a scholar, thank you sir!!

Finally someone who tells us the truth about the colour of moissanites! every single other person selling moissanites neglect to mention the fact that colourless moissanites arent actually as “colourless” as like their diamond and lab diamond counterparts.Your honesty and clarity of information is refreshing.
Thanks Riley. I appreciate your comments.
I am not used to leaving comments however, your review is the best, very informative and detailed. Thank you!
10x10mm Ascher cut, its really amazing, and I never think of it as a diamond simulant. I think of it as Moissanite. The most dazzling gem in the world.
I have 1 white Moisanite and 4 green Moisanite and I love them. I was skeptical at first but when I got my first I fell in love with the stone. And the green is my favorite.
I got a C&C 9mm (around 3 carat DEW) Moissanite and I absolutely love it. And I LOVE that it's a 9.25-9.5 on the Mohs scale! So it's basically just as durable as a diamond. I've read that natural Moissanite is even more rare than Diamonds, given where it comes from naturally, occuring in meteorites ☄️ Even though mostly ALL Moissanites are man made. But I don't care that they're man made. I love the ethical thought behind it. Most diamonds now are lab grown anyway too. Blood diamonds are beyond expensive. And frankly, I wouldn't feel comfortable if I knew someone was actually hurt or killed mining my gem. So it doesn't matter to me if they're man made or not. They're beautiful 💎 I get so many compliments on my ring. I dreamed of having a 3 carat diamond, but I knew it would cost more than we could ever afford. So we found Charles & Colvard and immediately I was interested 😍 Plus we got the best deal! My ring was originally $6,600 but we got it for $2,000. If I had gotten a 3 carat diamond ring, it would have been upwards of $20,000 or more for the one I dreamed of having. So... MOISSANITE FOR THE WIN! IDC WHAT ANYONE SAYS! And as long as the inclusions aren't visible to the naked eye without a loupe, I don't care! I've seen some pretty low quality diamonds where you can see the inclusions with the naked eye and it's not ideal for an engagement ring.
@mrzackenglish No problem!
What are best cuts of moissanite, i.e hearts and arrows for example. What are other best cuts of moissanite stones? Thank you for the comparison.
May be princess shape is best for ring and luster shining...and best in series
you don't know what you are talking about .
How are you liking your ring now? I want to get one but it’s hard finding people who have had them long term and what their thoughts are after months/tears
Grate video, and wow such beautiful moissanites, thanks for taking such care and time with these stones.. moissanite definitely deserves its own respect
I wish I saw this before getting my own moissanite jewelry! Most notably, the issue with color grading relative to diamonds, of course.
Thank you so much for educating us. Now I have more confidence and appreciation for the work that goes into the best diamonds. I'm hooked !
I see people being so defensive on both sides. If you feel the need to justify your choice maybe you made the wrong choice. Just saying 🤷♀️
If you feel like writing about how much you saved with a moissanite, maybe deep down, you feel insecure about not spending as much for your stone. Maybe you wish you had a diamond.
If you feel like saying moissanites are too sparkly or not as pretty, maybe you feel insecure about other people finding some cheaper stone prettier than your expensive diamond. Or maybe deep down you know diamonds are overrated or feel guilty about the choice.
Either way, people should get what they want not what they think they should get.
bingo
Generally speaking, the moissanite is more beautiful than a diamond. But there are certain cuts that the diamond can look better. Moissanites only look better in round, cushion, and arguably in emerald cut. Diamonds look better in princess, asscher, marquis, radiant, and pretty much any other cut other than round and cushion. Though a moissanite is more beautiful overall, the diamond will always be more special. For me, I prefer moissanites over diamonds. That’s because I like a more fiery and sparkly stone.
Moissanites are more beautiful than a diamond? I guess to each their own. But since to me it's subjective, the more sparkly it is, the less attractive it is. Before I knew about moissys and diamonds, this lady's ring was so sparkly I didn't want to look at it because it was hurting my eyes. It definitely hit the sweet spot in that particular lighting. Now I know it wasn't a diamond not that it's a big deal. But I have a diamond now (husband proposed with), and it's so sparkly probably because it has less lighting leakage. Not sure if I like it too much because it distracts me lol
@Alexander A what about Pear cut? Which one looks better in that?
@@thakurshouryapratapsingh3506 ... Diamond
If I had to choose, I would prefer a moissanite because of the higher refractive index. You didn't specifically mention oval cut--I assume you think they look better in diamonds? I am helping my son get educated. :)
@@jodiz5901 … Diamonds would look better in an oval cut.
I am so glad I found your channel!..This was a very very thorough and detailed clarification of the Moissanite gemstone. I am truly an educated consumer now…Thank you and God Bless!
You are so welcome!
Great technical explanations. Your passion is apparent
Thank you a ton for sharing your knowledge for others like me to enjoy and learn!
Thank you...this taught me a lot. I have a family piece that my grandad bought in Pretoria SA in 1920. It's an old mine cut 1.9 carats set in a vintage rose gold ring. It was costing a fortune to insure. 5 months ago I found a supplier who got me an old mine cut moissanite with a F rating (just like mine). Had my jeweller recreate the setting and put the original in the safe. Side by side in the same setting I can't see a difference (untrained eye maybe but I have been wearing the original for 30 years). The old mine cut makes it look realistic
😮
This is an amazingly informative video. My son is beginning the process and this will be of great help to him.
After comparing my VS diamond ring to my VVS Moissanite ring I can spot the differences. The moissanite has more of a glittery rainbow shimmer effect while the diamond has a flat flash effect with not as bright hues of blue and pink.
Yeah, you know why!! We all know why!! I'm not fn around you want real you buy real and with a jeweler who don't play with this child's play. No real legit jewler will touch fake or even all carbon with a ten foot pool!! Sorry, but if Mother Earth didn't make it, Stfu!
Considering that this video is 3 years old and the production process of moissanite is constantly improving, I wonder how a D color moissanite would fare against a diamond today?
Have you found out ?
I deal in championship belts and im using Moissanites in my belts. Thank you for this video my guy.
Also, another consideration whether a diamond or a Moissanite, it's better to have white inclusions over black inclusions and it's more ideal to have the inclusions closer to the girdle rather than right under the table. Also, specks spread out more ideal that clustered together. I'd rather have 5 inclusions spread out around the girdle rather than 3 inclusions clustered under the table.
Thank you for the education, very informative
I love them. Had I known that they existed 28 years ago, I’d have chosen them instead of diamonds. As a matter of fact I had the chance to buy another diamond ( my wedding ring was stolen) but I went w a 3 ct round w six rounds (3 each side). Lovely!
I really really really appreciate and thank you how much more you’ve tought me. I BEEN ON THIS LESS THAN A MONTH AND ALREADY AND EXPERT AND FUTURE YOUNG ENTREPRENEUR IN THE JEWELRY, CANNABIS, AND TATTOOS🙇🏽♂️💰💯💎💯💯
I would love to see a video like this on emerald cut moissanite
Hi. Humble Appreciation. Terrific Information. THANKS
Thank you for sharing this information!
I really appreciated your in depth lecture. You made me a knowled person. I thank you again.
You are very welcome
Oh my, that diamond is gorgeous.
Great video! Would be nice if you did a review of DEF vs GH moissanite for various cuts. For some cuts DEF may appear flatter than GH, would be interesting to check which ones this effect is most common with!
I want the one with the double refraction 🤩
I bough moissanites from China and took it to Hatton Garden jewellers to change a glass stone I had in a gold ring and they thought was a diamond, was perfect. So it is not that buying online gives you shite quality.
I have a 6.3 carat moissanite, and it has an off light blue/green hue to it.
Love it. Where did you buy it?
I love moissanite I have 9.0mm 3ct and 11.0mm 5ct engagement ring. It's so beautiful 😍
thank you so much for the great information.🌸👏
Dear Sir you are extraordinary, thank you very much for all the presentation made with good will and sincere. How to find the program you were working on in the presentation. Thank you very much if you have time to inform me. With sincerity and respect Sadri Krasniqi from Kosovo. I welcome your reply.
Jonatan is the diamond / moisennite
king!!
Hi John, i am from India, your video is very informative and awesome
great information, thanks!
My Moissanite SPARKLE sooo much, I will NEVER Buy a Diamond again.TY for a very Informative Video, I am a new Subscriber now.💎
Have you also got moissanite tennis chain the sparkling one ? I like to buy
Thanks a lot, a detailed lecture. After watching your video I checked mines😄. Anyway Thanks🙏
That was totally a doublet. You’re right about that. I could tell you were surprised when you had it magnified around the girdle. They probably put the harder material on top of the pavilion. Which could be CZ to "fix" the carat weight issue. After the patent expired or whatever that C&C had for the production of Moissanite....... The floodgates opened, and all kinds of ethically questionable companies started doing crap like that. I've yet to see a Moissanite that looks like a diamond. The fire is totally different, due to it being doubly refractive. I have a few C&C pieces, and they look pretty. But in a more Flashy-Rainbow-y way than natural or lab-created Diamonds.
I think a good cut for Moissanite would be your August Vintage Cushion Cut or an Old Mine Cut. Because the fewer and larger the facets..... The better. When you start faceting the pavilion of a Round Brilliant or Flanders in Moissanite, it begins to give itself away around "the edges."
They can look blurry when you look down into the gem, where each facet meets the next.
But they are resilient little suckers.
The Round Brilliant Moissanite Fire or whatever C&C had branded it years ago, is VERY greenish yellow in certain light. But most of the time you’d never know it, because it’s throwing so much fire and scintillation out, that the body of the gem almost appears colorless, or darker than white like a Diamond or CZ tends to. If that makes any sense. 😆
I bet Moissanite would be a great alternative to Demantoid Garnet, if they could get the right shade of green without going too blue.
I LOVES ME A DEMANTOID boy howdy!
Are you in the industry lol you know so much
@@nordette but what he said made absolutely no sense. he saying the larger the Moissanite the better but he's complaining about it being to refractive and Rainbowy. What? But ya go with the diamond if you want a darker more laid-back look.
Great video. On the GIA Favetware scene. The first stat for the Diameter is actually only a deviation of 0.04. not 0.5 much different. Basic math.
I didn't buy my ring of moissanite to "fake" anyone into believing it is a diamond! I love the Moissanite period!
I have high quality diamonds...
Soon I will sell.
Moissanite is an absolutely gorgeous gem PERIOD.
I tell everyone I know to get a Moissanite instead of a diamond.
Diamonds are NOT rare!!
Worthless in my opinion! And a scam.
There are billions of diamonds and none are worth salt!!
Exactly!!! I am noy stupid enough to fall for every girl needs a diamond. I am looking either for a crushed oval or a crushed cushion cut. I want it to be bigger than 2 carats. Please tell us where to source a reputable place to purchase one
I want to buy one of your stones now
@Rhino’sschoolofrock Hi, can you tell me where I can buy one online? Thanks!
What shape of moissanite most closely resembles a diamond?
I really want an asscher cut someday!
What is the price difference between a one carat diamond G VS1and a one carat moissanite with the same stats?
SO HELPFUL AMAZING VIDEO
Very informative thank you
I must say they are very nice, my preference is still diamond, there is just something about how they look to me that attracts me, on saying that the Moisonite is very very close in its beauty. Very interesting in the comparison of colours Dia =Mois . Could you tell me , in your opinion, is a faceted girdle better in Diamonds . ? I am learning to facet gem stones. And just wondering if it a preference or dose the industry prefer one over the other , dose it change the value of a gem stone?
What he doesn't tell you is that Moissanites in jewelry are MAN-MADE... This is not a "gem stone" it is a man-made replicant. The value of this stone is what some sucker will pay for it. It is virtually worthless once you hand over the cash, no one will buy it.
Can you talk about cutting moissanite so it resembles diamond in other cuts like oval and emerald?
My husband is getting me a new ring for our anniversary. I want a 1.50ct pear cut. How does Moissanite look in a pear cut? I am researching Charles & Colvard's Forever One line.
So amazingly thorough and informative! Will you make one about an asscher cut moissanite (appx 2.5 equivalent) and the best dimensions for an amazingly cut most ideal asscher? That's what I want as my center stone.
Thanks!

Moissanite to me, is perfect for stud earrings because realistically earrings are always being assaulted by face products & body oils. That extra flashiness is taken down by everyday wear. I love my natural diamonds for sure, but there is a place for Moissanite in my opinion.
Went to your site. There is no carat equivalency stated for reference. I enjoyed your information given here.
Im older now and when i travel its always alone i have given a most all my really good diamond jewlry to my nieces and only wear Moissanite and ther less valuable diamond jewelry I LoVE Moissanite it looks great and none knows Most mass market diamonds certainly do not compare........... its for me worry free and the girls are happy too
I would like to order from your site.. how can I do so. I didn’t see a link
Sincere apologies. I'll put a direct link up there now but for quick reference all my moissanites are here. www.distinctivegem.com/collections/august-vintage-moissanite
Where can I purchase one ???
the moissanite you showed with the imperfect facets, what was that?
Moissanite 🤣
Do they keep their clarity for life????

Hi how can I buy the stones.I need a link to the website of the business.Thanks.
www.distinctivegem.com/collections/august-vintage-moissanite
How do I order a moissanite ring from your website- I don’t see a link in the description?
I would also like to know how I can’t buy from you
All mossanite is made in china almost 99% of them.. and they are very cheap.. they cost almost 14 dollars US a carat... So don't pay for a stone that have no resale value.. no one in the world talk about resale value of mossanite
I still prefer natural diamonds.,when I'm wearing one, it makes me feel so special.
very nice 💕
You should compare the gems with the same size.
Where can I shop for your moissanites?
I found a stone on your site are you able to set it?
I should be! Contact me via the email on the top right corner of my website or info@distinctivegem.com and include pix of your setting and link to stone. ☺️🙏🏻
Great education, thank you.
What is your web site ? How do we find you ?
I really want the most rainbow sparks as possible. Are your stones optimised for that?
Yes. to mimic that of the best diamonds.
Moissanite has a intense rainbow effect.
I want a moissanite, because it is more brilliant and more rare than a diamond, so why would I want it to be cut to make it look like a diamond?
Okay , where to look for your rings please?
Oh gosh .. sorry for the late reply here. Moissanites are here ... www.distinctivegem.com/collections/august-vintage-moissanite Settings are here ... www.distinctivegem.com/collections/designs-by-jonathan

What is your website ?
Should each moissanites have a laser code? to confirm with the IQ code of the purchase authenticity receipt?
sure Moissanite also has a laser code with certificate
What shape / cut do you think is the nicest for moissanite?
@helenalovelock1030 That's tough as shape and cutting style are a matter of preference.
@@RhinosSchoolofRock but what is YOUR favorite?? 😍
I got a moissanite but it’s always cloudy looks dirty
prob. just needs a cleaning.
Thanks for the explanation
Now… where we can get that😂
I like Moissanite, have had a ring for a dozen years, looks great still. But that last side by side comparison, the diamond look way better to me. Sorry
I like them much more.
Where can I purchase your brand?
Moissanites are here ... www.distinctivegem.com/collections/august-vintage-moissanite
I can know moissanite from this video. I think perfect to know moissanite. This videos name is 'Final moissanite', i think. Thanks you.
8.55mm - 8.51mm = .04 deviation not .5
i love crushed ice moissanite 🧡💎 -hilary

What is hearts and arrows ?
The cut
@@TheShumoby Does that mean the shape? Is hearts and arrows the same as brilliant round ?
Do you sell in India?
No. there are probs shipping there
No matter what you say I like moissanite better than diamonds, I think they are prettier and much more affordable.
I just wonder the Aliexpress Moissenites how would they Grade them.Say it's AAA VVS1 D COLOR.Help me out if it's a scam.There a millions of Moissenites
They are just as good.
Thank you for another informative video! Personally I don't think you were being "self promotional", I think you were being honest. When the science backs up your information you're not "bragging" you're telling the truth as it reads in all of the reports....that's just an honest description.
I worked as a private chef for over 15 years and I'm not being a braggart when I say that the Maine lobster I was serving was fresh off the boat, I was being honest as I had purchased it that morning from the lobster fisherman on the dock. It was a fact and a superior product.😁😉😉
This video is a moissanite iceberg lol
