I think the stigma and judgement mostly come from people who have/want a diamond engagement ring. I have a moissanite and I love it, but I am ashamed to say I’m not as loud and proud of it as I should be… after this video though… I feel more emboldened thanks to you
I definitely agree... I hope you feel more confident in your choice through this video🥰It's something to brag about IMO... and if people are gonna judge/hate, let them😂 I'm sure your ring is absolutely stunning! Thank you for watching!
My husband bought me a princess cut moissanite ring,had it 7 years,still so awesome, was probably around $1400.00,looks like 15,20 thousand dollar ring,love it like 1st day we got it!!
$1400 if natural wow your ring is more then ten thousand dollars minimum if lab created still worth more than you paid a 8mm lab mossinite last year was I think $1500 and that's just the stone if he paid 10000 for a diamond ring your mossinite would fetch more at pawnshops the truth is buy what makes you happy and it will gain value. Here's the question if I offered you a $15000 diamond ring would you trade for it ??? Seriously what would your honest answer be? Always curious about question like that I have heard people say I would never sell a Ring it was my grandmothers just wanted to know values for insurance and the moment I tell them they are ready for the check way to many times and yes I do buy them but that is my business I have to source materials and make jewelry and some Gems you just can't find the quality anymore so buying antique or vintage yes a great source
I love this video! As a longtime moissanite collector I'm often disappointed in videos that fail to make the proper distinction between moissanite and diamonds. They're such cool stones! And to be able to pay a very reasonable price for a stone that is colorless or near colorless *without flaws* is amazing. I have an old European cut Elongated cushion solitaire that is a 2.8 carat visual equivalent and I am obsessed with it. Your ring is gorgeous on you!
You are delightful! Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Back in 1995 when my late husband asked me to marry him he wanted to design my rings himself. I agreed as long as the center stone was a white sapphire rather than a diamond. More than a few people were horrified.🤷🏻♀️ But I loved it. You’re absolutely right that each person should choose what is right for them and not be pressured. Moissanite…be still my heart! I’d harbored dreams of diamond earrings, big sparkly ones, since childhood but the prices…ugh. Them back in January I noticed a spectacular pair of earrings on a customer at work. When I commented that I’d never seen such beautiful diamonds she quickly pointed out that they were moissanite. I’d never heard of it but dove into researching the moment I got home and fell in love. Ordered a pair of earrings just like the diamond ones I’d always dreamed of but they are so much prettier! Sparkle just makes me happy! Since then I’ve added more pieces and will no doubt end up with a whole collection one day. Congrats on your engagement! May you have many happy years together😊
Yessssss I love this so much! I'm so glad you stuck with your gut and got what you wanted🥹✨Sparkle makes me happy too, I can't get enough!!! Thank you for watching🥰
I agree: get what you want. My husband knew I was a fusspot so he proposed without a ring (with a jewellery box) and said I could choose whatever I wanted (within the budget!). I love my engagement ring still - now 12 years later.
My first ring from my husband is a Charles and Colvard Moissanite. He couldn’t afford an actual diamond of the same size. It’s gorgeous! My last wedding anniversary I got a larger set by C & C. I love it too.
My husband just gave me a wedding set from Charles and Covard. I have to say that it is breathtakingly beautiful!! It's so sparkly. I absolutely love moissanite. By the way, I got the radiant cut.
Thank you so much for this video. I fell in love with a moissanite engagement ring not too long ago and after I sent it to my BF declaring that it was “the one” I started having regrets. I’m not 100% sure, 😮but I believed he bought it already. It’s beautiful and literally everything I wanted. Now with the information you gave I can be 1000% sure that I made the right choice.
Countless diamond vs moissanite videos later, and yours helped cover everything I was still left wondering!!!! I will definitely be choosing moissanite over diamond 😊Thank you for such a detailed and well explained video. Along with all of those different lighting shots 😍
Totally agree with you, I love my bling , it’s sparkly, Have a few pieces of Moissanite , I wear them everyday,,, I will never buy a real Diamond again.. I’m sharing your video TY❤️
This is such good information regarding Moissanites! My ring was “lost” at a well-known jewelry box store (long story) during a simple maintenance visit and I was having trouble finding the exact diamond to replace my recreated ring. I bought a moissanite as a “temporary” stone for my ring and I LOVE IT! So much that I may not go back to a diamond. I find myself asking, “WHY are we spending so much on diamonds when moissenite are just as beautiful if not more so?!” I agree with everything you said in your explanation of diamonds vs moissanites and I’m glad the younger generations are discovering the scam in the cost of diamonds, the retail mark-up is criminal. Just my opinion. And, your ring is beautiful.😊
I agree with everything you said and yes your ring is stunning! I have a wedding set I got 30 years ago and it’s a 1.5 carat VVS2 color D and I love it but I decided I wanted another ring recently and chose Moissanite equivalent to 2 carats and well the problem is, it looks way better than my diamond!! I too am obsessed and wish I had known about them 30 years ago. I do think I’ve convinced my future daughter in law.
Okay. Your video is the absolute best moissanite video on youtube. Hands down. Ive been searching for months randomly to see if anyone will post something new because i love moissanite and plan on having it for my ring, and thank god you posted omg. Thank you for this video! So much better than the others
God bless you for this video! Yes make a second video of this but more in depth of the bias the social status the misinformations when it should all be definitely about love as well as managing your money well to make the best proper decisions
Total mossy lover here!! I love EVERYTHING about them!!! I used to be the manager of a jewelry store in Hawai’i & fell in love with them then like 20 years ago!! I love your video!! One of the best I’ve seen!! I have a few of these beautiful gems myself!! 😊😍🥰♥️
I, like you, was a sales associate for a prestigious jewelry company. In fact, it sounds like the same one you worked at! Any who, I love sparkle too and LOVE moissanite! Right now, I'm sporting a moissanite necklace and TWO rings. Congratulations on the engagement and that beautiful moissanite solitaire!
Omg thank you so much for this!!! I keep being shamed by former “friends” who said my fiancé didn’t love me enough to buy me a diamond. You have no idea how much you made me feel better. ❤❤❤❤
Oh no!!! Please don’t listen to that negativity!🫶🏽All the matters is the love between you and your fiancé. The ring has nothing to do with the value of the love you share!!!🥺If they try to hate again, just send them this video😂Thank you so much for watching and congratulations!!!😇🤍✨
Great video! I have both Diamonds and Moissanite. Moissanite definitely out shines and sparkles Diamonds. Let face it, you just get more bang for you buck! Blessings to you and your fiancé… a long, healthy and loving marriage!
THANK YOU! i was OVERsaturated with info between lab diamond and moissanite. Were over a year married.. with zero rings haha youve finally convinced me!!!! Ordering a ring NOW! TIME TO SPARKLE ON VDAY. thank you!!!
Young lady deserves at least 10K more likes... the only chicky that put time in not only explaining this gem....but showing the gem in so many ways and in different lighting!!!! I can not wait to get my white gold tennis bracelet from ahemmmamazon haha. Hope to update you guys on when I get it.
Your opinions and videos are very helpfulnand an eye opener for people who likes to have beautiful gemstones and do not need to shell off a lot hell of money
Congratulations & Great video! I’m glad there’s more content around Moissanite. I designed my ring with Moissanite stones for all the reasons you’ve stated.
This information was great, and you're HILARIOUS. I loved my ring, however now I ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT. So grateful. He bought me a ring and noticed a few things about my comfort. He studied how I wore it ( I NEVER TAKE IT OFF). I love silver. He got 925 silver with a BEAUTIFUL HUGE moissanite. He gets a 10/10 for the setting he chose (925 silver mixed with rose gold). The inner eternity band spun and the moissanites didn't go fully around the band. This caused me to always have to "fix it". He noticed that, and replaced it with a full moissanite eternity band. An already beautiful ring now PERFECT. Every time I look at it, I feel special and cannot wait to be his wife. 💯❤️👑🙏🏾😁 💍
I'm so glad you found me funny 🥹 I think some people don't understand my sense of humor😂😂 awe your ring sounds stunning!!!!😍I absolutely love that for you 😇🤎
Great Video and Congrats! We just purchased a C&C 2.40ct cushion as my 30 anniversary gift. I have a number real diamonds, but fell in love with moissanite when the hubs gave me a pair of 2ct lever back earrings for our anniversary in 2020 when our Ireland trip got canceled due to the pandemic....well the Ireland trip is back on for 2023 and I will be sporting a new beautiful ring when we get there!! Love that I no longer feel the need to "leave the diamond at home" for safety and don't care who knows its moissanite...after 30yrs I have nothing to prove to anyone! Best wishes for a joyous marriage!
I literally cannot thank you enough I have been trying to find a good video talking about moissanite engagement rings and a good website to find them on because I have been struggling to find any information so thank you so so much!!!
This video was one of the best I have ever seen on ANYTHING. You have such a perfect presentation style. (High school English and Public Speaking teacher here!😂) My Moissanite band is coming tomorrow! I have a three stone rhodolite garnet ring and wanted Moissanite for a long time. I particularly wanted it to give my colored stones some bling. I could not be happier with our decision-your video validated everything I was thinking! Appreciated the education and the support for those of us who want something different and more beautiful! Many wishes for a beautiful life together and THANK YOU!❤🙏🏻
I absolutely looooved this video! You are so honest and funny and real and it was so refreshing :) thank you for showing videos of how it shines too!!!
My husband and I got engaged after 3 months together, we just knew. We started looking into rings after about 2 months together and I asked him to get me a moissanite )he wanted to get me a diamond, but I assured him that I truly wanted a moissanite). This was back in 2005 when very few people had even heard of a moissanite. He got me an oval stone on a platinum band (looks the size of a 1ct diamond equivalent). It's one of the OG Charles and Colvard stones, so it has a greenish tint in certain lighting. Moissanite has come such a long way since 2005! I'm so glad that more people are getting it. I now have a "colorless" forever one in a larger oval stone. I still love my OG, but the colorless is much nicer.
Thank you so much for the love you are showing to moissanite and being so happy with your gorgeous choice 😍😍 your ring is gorge ❤️ so happy that moissanite is getting the attention it deserves 💍💎
A very thorough & well put video. Love the description & extra info you provided. Your ring is gorgeous & love the different lighting and angles you showcased the ring. Awesome!!!
I just purchased a moissanite bridal set last week at the jewelry store. The sales manager said to me after paying for it, "Oh so you are aware this stone won't be as clear and may be foggy looking. I should have said something about it sooner. I hope it won't matter to your girlfriend?" I said no I highly doubt it'll matter to her because she's not like that. The bridal set is also rose gold and stones are placed in vintage style bands :) Thank you for your video and insight! Be blessed and congratulations!!
Hi Will! I have never heard this before, and have seen old moissanites that still look good as new! Perhaps the sales associate was confusing another stone? I bet the set is absolutely stunning from what you described 😍😍😍 Congratulations to you too and thank you so much for watching!
This is the best moissanite video I’ve seen so far! We are in the process of figuring out what I want, and watching this video made me confident I want moissanite. I hadn’t heard of Olive Avenue either, so I’m excited to check them out. Thanks for the video!
Awwww I'm so glad to hear that!!! I'm so glad this helped you to make your decision. Let me know if you end up getting a ring from Olive Ave🥰Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for making this video! My boyfriend and I are planning on getting engaged, and my mom is traditional and has been judgmental about my ring choices. But this has been so helpful and affirming! I sent it to my boyfriend.
1. That scripture though. & CONGRATULATIONS! 2. Doing SO much research and THIS.IS.IT. What I needed and what I was looking for. 3. SO THANKFUL FOR THIS VIDEO AND WHO YOU ARE!
Thank you for this awesome video. Also, your high quality video helped me determine between getting a crushed ice and brilliant cut. Your ring is stunning!
OMG. First of all congratulations! But also thank you for posting this video. My 20th anniversary is approaching and my hubby wanted to upgrade my diamond ring. However, I've been considering moissanite for a long time and you have helped me solidify my decision! Can't wait to see your wedding band!
I agree with you and your content! You ring is stunning!!! Had I known about moissanites I would’ve picked it. I opted for lab diamond vs. natural diamonds. Now With resources and the internet research , we have more options in picking and there is nothing wrong with that! My fiance and I went ring shopping together. Lucky for him I had no idea what I wanted but started looking and told him what I’m happy getting. He got me a ring that was a good happy medium and encompasses what we both wanted and I couldn’t be happier ❤.
I've watched quite a few and this is the best video I've seen on moissanite and engagement rings by far! I don't know much but I resonated with a lot of things you said - diamonds are largely a scam, the kimberley process is a scam, and the entire industry has been a scam from the beginning. Also love the quick scripture seed planted in the beginning, congrats to you and your fiancee/husband!
Congratulations 🥂 I have a 9×7 emerald cut moissanite center with 1ct lab created diamond band yellow gold engagement ring from The True Gem engaged 💍 for a year now and it looks just like the day I received it. I am proud to show off my ring and educate people if they want to know more. I love the fact that it is flawless and a slight rainbow effect in sunlight.
I would love a part2. I have questions! - what do you think about sparkles of round vs oval cuts - what are the differences between ice crushed and brilliant cut - should I worry about the bow tie effect in moissanites? - is moissanite easy enough to make that there are many companies that make them or there are only small numbers of companies who can successfully make them? - if there are many companies making them, is there a regulation or standard for quality or cuts like the GIA for diamonds?
I so agree with you on the diamond part, hence why I've sold mine and will be creating my dream ring with a moissanite!! They're equally, if not just as more beautiful than a diamond and you're not saving your whole life just to buy a ring that you love. I see it now as, the ring should be what you love and represent you opposed to what it is. Also, I appreciate the end clips of you showing the moissanite in all lightings!!! Soo many videos but yours is by far the best, so thank you! X
Thank you so much for watching! And I 100% agree with you😇🤎 The ring is about so much more than what it physically is! And thank you for sticking around til the very end of the video!
I'm a year late to comment on this video but thank you for the in depth information on Moissanite. I ordered my first Moissanite ring and finally received it yesterday. You are absolutely right about the sparkle and shine 🤩 Also, your ring is ssssstunning on you!!! ❣
First off congratulations that's an extremely beautiful ring. Second, I totally agree with you about diamonds and moissanite. That's why I chose a lab color stone, alexandrite(due to it changing color between my three favorite stone colors.) with moissanite side stones. I'm so happy I chose lab created stones that sparkle as much as they do. My husband surprised me this Christmas(2022) with the ring I really wanted years ago. Thank you for posting this video. I learned more about the side stones in my ring than I was able to find in other videos.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. I’ve been doing some research about diamond alternatives & your video was enlightening and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 💕
From a moissanite lover to you congrats your ring is very beautiful. I agree with you in everything thanks for the info. My e-ring is also a moissanite blue ❤i love it is gorges. Congrats and many blessings for a happy life together. 🎉🥰
You nailed Girl! I love the explanation. Congratulations on your engagement, you’ve got a beautiful ring! I also have a 3 carat Emerald cut Moissanite solitaire in 18k yellow gold band, and I love it! I wanna go for a bigger moissanite the next time. I had a great experience buying my Moissanite and I super recommend!
This video really helped with my decision to purchase moissanite!! Although I can afford a diamond I’m a firm believer that it’s not about price or size the commitment is what’s important so I’ll save the extra 5-6 k for more important things thanks for the vid
I'm so glad you liked this video🥰Thank you for watching! And I recommend just looking at pictures of rings and going into stores to see what kind of styles you like and narrow down from there. Then you can feel confident if you want to order a moissanite online! Some stores do offer it in person, but stores like Olive Ave provide you with customization options 😇✨
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve always known that I wanted moissanite but now I have no doubts! Can’t wait to find mine. You were a joy to watch ☺️
Congratulations! Your ring is GORGEOUS. I also have a moissanite ring and i'm so in love with it. This video was so thorough, informative, and well done :)
Love your insight! I wanted a lab pink diamond, but after seeing a pink Moissanite, I can't stop thinking about it! After watching this, you've convinced me to go with the Moissanite. Great video & congrats to you! Gorgeous ring 😍
Awesome discrimination - without being to overly scientific... I just got my first moissanite ring - thanks to my niece. I've been old school diamonds forever ole gal. I am looking for some earring studs to go with it. Great video! Oh, and congratulations!
Well done video! Ethical, affordable, beautiful. I have a dimond i bought long time ago it cost me so much i never put it on... i didn't know about the mining industry when i got it. I have a moissanite ring that is super super sparkly and beautiful and i am not afraid to lose it. Now i just need the man😄
definitly the most informative video Ive seen. I thought it was funny when you said it's not a cheap stone, because I know you can get a decent moissanite ring from Amazon for under $50 and Im just curious how a C&C moissanite stone compares, can a difference be seen with the naked eye. Also, I wish someone would talk about alternative stones (sapphire, ruby, etc) which can be had dirt cheap but still look beautiful and are very durable, and look better than a silicone band.
@@melc4308 ya I've been learning more about diamonds too. Watched a video from Bonnie jewelry and turns out the 4C's aren't actually a good way of valuing a diamond because the color/tint/reflection of two identical diamonds can be completely different so you have to look at them in person to make sure you aren't getting a dark diamond. So this is also gonna apply to moissanite and I was looking at the $25 ring I bought and now I notice how dark the tint is.
Very informative video. I love it! My bf and I have been talking about getting married (elopement) and I too told him I do NOT want a diamond. I’ve been doing my research and told him I want a moissanite and the exact style I want 😆
Congratulations 💍 Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us. I loved all the details you shared 🤍 Best video I’ve seen about Monssanite.
I love the size that you picked out. I see a lot of people getting bigger rings because they’re more affordable for moissanite. However, bigger does not look better. Whatever size is on your finger looks amazing. It looks classy and not bulky. Plus, I also noticed the smaller the size of the stone, the more sparkly the stone is, and I don’t mean those tiny side stones.
Thank you so much!!! And I 100% agree!! Sometimes the huge rocks look very cheesy in my opinion😂But if that’s someone’s style then good for them! Just not for me, thank you🙅🏽♀️😂
Congratulations on your new adventure! You motivated me to go for the oval solitaire look(I was dead set on moissonite however). I love the simplicity yet elegant look on your fingers. Congrats!
Firstly, fantastic,comprehensive review on this amazing gem. I have been researching Moissanite for about 6 months now. Your accurate and through information is very respectable. This led me to sub. I look gorward to seeing more from you. You are a breath of fresh air. Sincerely, Gina Charleston,S.C.
I love your ring, so simple but elegant and just stunning! Thanks for educating me about moissannite, didn't really know there was a just (or nearly) as hard alternative to diamonds which have always been problematic with false prices and ethics. I think people's aversion to lab made gems might be due to scientific illiteracy, not understanding it's not the same as other synthetic materials and foods/food chemicals where it can be better ( and sometimes quite important) to have the natural version. Geology is different, a gem is a gem. Here in Australia those worried about ethics used to be able to insist on Argyle diamonds mined in our own country and use fair trade or recycled gold or platinum. However now the Argyle mine has closed I'd been wondering what those that wanted to be able to get pleasure from their jewellery because of having clear conscience would do now and in the future. Sounds like moissannite is a good alternative many will be happy with. I'm wondering if it will hold its value? I figure people want it in other jewellery, not just engagement rings. You seem to assume everyone knows, but I've found it's amazing how few people know about ethics and sustainability in the jewellery industry so maybe you could talk about that more in the future. Non profit organisations and charities have done a reasonably good job promoting fairly widespread awareness of these issues in the clothing industry but no one seems to be pushing awareness of their bad practices in the jewellery industry so the more people educating others about it the better. Especially as so much money is made on the back of human suffering from products that aren't essential for human existence, they just give pleasure. I think more people would not get pleasure from their jewellery if they knew about the misery and exploitation involved in their production. I'd be happy to hear more about that and other gems and precious metals and anything else interesting about the jewellery industry that you think people aren't aware of or would like to learn. And pearls maybe too, getting ethical pearls can be really difficult. Although if you can afford the top quality expensive ones here in Australia you can buy white South Sea pearls from Western Australia. But not South Sea Pearls with other colours as so far I've not heard any evidence of fair trade practices in Philippines, Tahiti, Myanmar (Burma), China etc. where they're cultured. Japan now cultures its pearls offshore in China or other Asian countries. You didn't mention pink diamonds, I don't know much about them but have heard they can be quite popular but guess problematic in same way. I'm always, always interested in curly hair videos as well! Thanks for the pleasure of watching you again in a TH-cam video, I won't repeat why I love your channel and keen to see more on TH-cam as I put that all in my comment on your previous video about getting your new puppy. So please go back and read that if you haven't seen it. 😀❤
Hi Stephanie!! Thank you so much for this wonderful comment and taking the time to watch my video🥰I definitely agree about your comments on ethics and sustainability, I just do not feel I have enough factual evidence to explain to people! Perhaps I will research more and do a part two including that information! I also have not looked into pearls much specifically, but it is something I definitely would love to learn more about!!! I would love to do more curly hair content! Maybe my updated curly hair routine would be good? Thank you again for being such a wonderful supporter. It is appreciated more than you know!!!❤🥺
@@julia_zaniewski Your welcome. Since I wrote that comment I found out that they're still selling Argyle pink diamonds, well here in Australia, but their online stores probably reach everywhere in the world. However as the mine closed a while back stocks will eventually run out and will get more expensive I presume closer to that time. So I'm guessing moissannite would be a better option cost wise still, especially if wanted for engagement rings as most would want the traditional non-coloured look.
@@julia_zaniewski oh, and yes, an updated routine, new products, styling techniques you've tried etc. Any ideas you've got from curly friends/ in curly girl groups/ curly influencers etc. Everyone's hair is unique in what it needs but we get some good ideas from each other to help us manage our curls by trying out different things.
Hi! I also have a C&C moissanite and love my stone! I was wondering if you’ve experienced any of the oil slick or film that appears on the stone? I’ve tried to clean it with a toothbrush and toothpaste as well as with dawn dishsoap and warm water. I still get the oil slick/film 😭 I avoid any oils or lotions when wearing my ring. Do you have any tips?
I really like your visuals for the carbon vs silicone carbide. I need those visuals. Also, I love how you actually presented valuable knowledge on this topic. I wish you hadn’t said “I’m not smart enough to talk about here”…and instead would have said “I’m not going to waste your time talking about engineering stuff in a video about engagement rings.” You’re clearly very intelligent, well spoken, polished, and a hardworking. Our bodies don’t know the difference between jokes and serious comments. Keep making videos! I just subscribed!
I think the stigma and judgement mostly come from people who have/want a diamond engagement ring. I have a moissanite and I love it, but I am ashamed to say I’m not as loud and proud of it as I should be… after this video though… I feel more emboldened thanks to you
I definitely agree... I hope you feel more confident in your choice through this video🥰It's something to brag about IMO... and if people are gonna judge/hate, let them😂 I'm sure your ring is absolutely stunning! Thank you for watching!
Hi do you still enjoy the ring is it still as shiny today.
Thanks great video
@@susanabushaban2719hi Susan, yes it’s still as shiny :]
My husband bought me a princess cut moissanite ring,had it 7 years,still so awesome, was probably around $1400.00,looks like 15,20 thousand dollar ring,love it like 1st day we got it!!
ooooh I bet that is absolutely stunning 😍 I'm so glad you love it!!! thank you for watching 🥰
Just picked out a princess cut solitaire moissanite on brilliant earth, I’m so excited to get it when he proposes (it’s gonna be hard to wait lol 😄)
$1400 if natural wow your ring is more then ten thousand dollars minimum if lab created still worth more than you paid a 8mm lab mossinite last year was I think $1500 and that's just the stone if he paid 10000 for a diamond ring your mossinite would fetch more at pawnshops the truth is buy what makes you happy and it will gain value.

There are no natural moissanite sold in jewelry stores. It’s all lab grown.
I love this video! As a longtime moissanite collector I'm often disappointed in videos that fail to make the proper distinction between moissanite and diamonds. They're such cool stones! And to be able to pay a very reasonable price for a stone that is colorless or near colorless *without flaws* is amazing. I have an old European cut Elongated cushion solitaire that is a 2.8 carat visual equivalent and I am obsessed with it. Your ring is gorgeous on you!
awe this means so much to me 🥹I'm so glad you enjoyed this video and thank you for watching! I bet your ring is gorgeous 😍😍😍😍
Where did you buy it from? I want a good old European cut
You are delightful! Thoroughly enjoyed the video. Back in 1995 when my late husband asked me to marry him he wanted to design my rings himself. I agreed as long as the center stone was a white sapphire rather than a diamond. More than a few people were horrified.🤷🏻♀️ But I loved it.

Yessssss I love this so much! I'm so glad you stuck with your gut and got what you wanted🥹✨Sparkle makes me happy too, I can't get enough!!! Thank you for watching🥰
I agree: get what you want. My husband knew I was a fusspot so he proposed without a ring (with a jewellery box) and said I could choose whatever I wanted (within the budget!). I love my engagement ring still - now 12 years later.
Yes!!!! I love that so much!!!🫶🏽🥰
My first ring from my husband is a Charles and Colvard Moissanite. He couldn’t afford an actual diamond of the same size. It’s gorgeous! My last wedding anniversary I got a larger set by C & C. I love it too.
We were looking at this company but didn’t see to many real world reviews. How does it look in person ?
My husband just gave me a wedding set from Charles and Covard. I have to say that it is breathtakingly beautiful!! It's so sparkly. I absolutely love moissanite. By the way, I got the radiant cut.
I have a gorgeous C&C moissanite engagement ring. Last year hubby bought me a C&C lab created diamond ring for my anniversary. I love them both.
Thank you so much for this video. I fell in love with a moissanite engagement ring not too long ago and after I sent it to my BF declaring that it was “the one” I started having regrets. I’m not 100% sure, 😮but I believed he bought it already. It’s beautiful and literally everything I wanted. Now with the information you gave I can be 1000% sure that I made the right choice.
My Moissanite wedding set is absolutely gorgeous! I’m wholly team Moissanite! ❤
Woohoo!!! Moissanite team😍thank you for watching!!
Countless diamond vs moissanite videos later, and yours helped cover everything I was still left wondering!!!! I will definitely be choosing moissanite over diamond 😊Thank you for such a detailed and well explained video. Along with all of those different lighting shots 😍
You're so welcome!!! I'm so glad to hear this video was helpful for you🥰Thank you so much for taking the time to watch!
I feel the same way. I started looking into moissanite half way through the vid.
Totally agree with you, I love my bling , it’s sparkly,
Have a few pieces of Moissanite , I wear them everyday,,, I will
never buy a real Diamond again.. I’m sharing your video TY❤️
I know right?! So so pretty 😍 Thank you so much for watching!!!☺️
This is such good information regarding Moissanites! My ring was “lost” at a well-known jewelry box store (long story) during a simple maintenance visit and I was having trouble finding the exact diamond to replace my recreated ring. I bought a moissanite as a “temporary” stone for my ring and I LOVE IT! So much that I may not go back to a diamond. I find myself asking, “WHY are we spending so much on diamonds when moissenite are just as beautiful if not more so?!” I agree with everything you said in your explanation of diamonds vs moissanites and I’m glad the younger generations are discovering the scam in the cost of diamonds, the retail mark-up is criminal. Just my opinion.
And, your ring is beautiful.😊
Yes 100% to everything you said!!!👏🏽Thank you for watching!!!
I agree with everything you said and yes your ring is stunning! I have a wedding set I got 30 years ago and it’s a 1.5 carat VVS2 color D and I love it but I decided I wanted another ring recently and chose Moissanite equivalent to 2 carats and well the problem is, it looks way better than my diamond!! I too am obsessed and wish I had known about them 30 years ago. I do think I’ve convinced my future daughter in law.
I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the video and that you love your new ring so much!!!!☺️🤍✨
Oh my this was the best moissanite video everrr! You are so enjoyable to watch! Thank you so much for making this 🤗❤️
Awwww thank you, Rachael!!🥺that means so much to me! Thank you for watching and I hope it was helpful!🥰❤️
I agree
Couldn't agree more. Very informative and had fun watching and learning. ❤
Agreed! Thank you!
Okay. Your video is the absolute best moissanite video on youtube. Hands down. Ive been searching for months randomly to see if anyone will post something new because i love moissanite and plan on having it for my ring, and thank god you posted omg. Thank you for this video! So much better than the others
I’m so glad you think that!!!! Thank you so much, Andrea, you have no idea how much that means to me☺️🤍✨
@@julia_zaniewski you have no idea how much your video meant to me!! Im glad my comment made you smile ❤️ congrats on the engagement!
God bless you for this video! Yes make a second video of this but more in depth of the bias the social status the misinformations when it should all be definitely about love as well as managing your money well to make the best proper decisions
I’m so glad you enjoyed this video!!☺️
Total mossy lover here!! I love EVERYTHING about them!!! I used to be the manager of a jewelry store in Hawai’i & fell in love with them then like 20 years ago!! I love your video!! One of the best I’ve seen!! I have a few of these beautiful gems myself!! 😊😍🥰♥️
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!! Enjoy this season in your lives! Thanks so much for this wonderful informative video! Blessings & hugs!!!
Thank you so much, Maria🥺That was so sweet! And thank you for watching and supporting☺️🤎✨
I, like you, was a sales associate for a prestigious jewelry company. In fact, it sounds like the same one you worked at! Any who, I love sparkle too and LOVE moissanite! Right now, I'm sporting a moissanite necklace and TWO rings. Congratulations on the engagement and that beautiful moissanite solitaire!
I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one!!! Thank you so much for watching!🥰
Diamonds are also expensive because of Debeers monopoly.
And because they are beautiful and hard to damage.
This! Debeers marketing has went on for generations. At this point diamonds were not even a popular or standard engagement ring into like the 50’s.
This was so good, thank you for making this!!
I am not an enjoyer or appreciater of history but your history lesson is one I love! Thank you for educating us!
Awe I am so glad to hear that🥰thank you for watching!
Omg thank you so much for this!!! I keep being shamed by former “friends” who said my fiancé didn’t love me enough to buy me a diamond. You have no idea how much you made me feel better. ❤❤❤❤
Oh no!!! Please don’t listen to that negativity!🫶🏽All the matters is the love between you and your fiancé. The ring has nothing to do with the value of the love you share!!!🥺If they try to hate again, just send them this video😂Thank you so much for watching and congratulations!!!😇🤍✨
I just got engaged last week, and LOVEEEE my Olive Ave moissanite ring!!!! I did so much research beforehand and you are SPOT on about everything!!!
Awe congratulations, Rylie!!!! What style did you get?! Thank you so much for watching my video🥰
Great video! I have both Diamonds and Moissanite. Moissanite definitely out shines and sparkles Diamonds. Let face it, you just get more bang for you buck!
Blessings to you and your fiancé… a long, healthy and loving marriage!
THANK YOU! i was OVERsaturated with info between lab diamond and moissanite. Were over a year married.. with zero rings haha youve finally convinced me!!!! Ordering a ring NOW! TIME TO SPARKLE ON VDAY. thank you!!!
Oh my gosh YAY I’m so happy to hear this was helpful for you!!! Thank you for watching!!🥰
Young lady deserves at least 10K more likes... the only chicky that put time in not only explaining this gem....but showing the gem in so many ways and in different lighting!!!! I can not wait to get my white gold tennis bracelet from ahemmmamazon haha. Hope to update you guys on when I get it.
Awe thank you so much!!!🫶🏽☺️
Your opinions and videos are very helpfulnand an eye opener for people who likes to have beautiful gemstones and do not need to shell off a lot hell of money
Great video! Needed this info and your personality is fantastic.
Awe I’m so happy to hear that it was helpful!! Thank you so much for watching☺️
BY FAR this is my favorite Moissanite video. Thanks!
Congratulations & Great video! I’m glad there’s more content around Moissanite. I designed my ring with Moissanite stones for all the reasons you’ve stated.
This information was great, and you're HILARIOUS. I loved my ring, however now I ABSOLUTELY ADORE IT. So grateful. He bought me a ring and noticed a few things about my comfort. He studied how I wore it ( I NEVER TAKE IT OFF). I love silver. He got 925 silver with a BEAUTIFUL HUGE moissanite. He gets a 10/10 for the setting he chose (925 silver mixed with rose gold). The inner eternity band spun and the moissanites didn't go fully around the band. This caused me to always have to "fix it". He noticed that, and replaced it with a full moissanite eternity band. An already beautiful ring now PERFECT. Every time I look at it, I feel special and cannot wait to be his wife. 💯❤️👑🙏🏾😁 💍
I'm so glad you found me funny 🥹 I think some people don't understand my sense of humor😂😂 awe your ring sounds stunning!!!!😍I absolutely love that for you 😇🤎
Wow Julia, so informative!
Great Video and Congrats! We just purchased a C&C 2.40ct cushion as my 30 anniversary gift. I have a number real diamonds, but fell in love with moissanite when the hubs gave me a pair of 2ct lever back earrings for our anniversary in 2020 when our Ireland trip got canceled due to the pandemic....well the Ireland trip is back on for 2023 and I will be sporting a new beautiful ring when we get there!! Love that I no longer feel the need to "leave the diamond at home" for safety and don't care who knows its moissanite...after 30yrs I have nothing to prove to anyone! Best wishes for a joyous marriage!
ooooh I absolutely love that for you😍😍😍that is so exciting!!! You're gonna be blinged out for your trip😜thank you so much for watching!
I literally cannot thank you enough I have been trying to find a good video talking about moissanite engagement rings and a good website to find them on because I have been struggling to find any information so thank you so so much!!!
Awe yay I’m so glad to hear this video was so helpful for you!!!🥰🥰🥰thank you so much for watching!
This video was one of the best I have ever seen on ANYTHING. You have such a perfect presentation style. (High school English and Public Speaking teacher here!😂) My Moissanite band is coming tomorrow! I have a three stone rhodolite garnet ring and wanted Moissanite for a long time. I particularly wanted it to give my colored stones some bling. I could not be happier with our decision-your video validated everything I was thinking! Appreciated the education and the support for those of us who want something different and more beautiful! Many wishes for a beautiful life together and THANK YOU!❤🙏🏻
I absolutely looooved this video! You are so honest and funny and real and it was so refreshing :) thank you for showing videos of how it shines too!!!
Awe thank you so much! And thank you for watching☺️
My husband and I got engaged after 3 months together, we just knew. We started looking into rings after about 2 months together and I asked him to get me a moissanite )he wanted to get me a diamond, but I assured him that I truly wanted a moissanite). This was back in 2005 when very few people had even heard of a moissanite. He got me an oval stone on a platinum band (looks the size of a 1ct diamond equivalent). It's one of the OG Charles and Colvard stones, so it has a greenish tint in certain lighting. Moissanite has come such a long way since 2005! I'm so glad that more people are getting it. I now have a "colorless" forever one in a larger oval stone. I still love my OG, but the colorless is much nicer.
Wow that’s so cool!!!😍and yes I’m so glad more people are jumping on the moissanite team🤪thanks for watching!!!
Please do an update video on your ring!
Hehe maybe I will soon!!! 👀 subscribe so you can be notified if/when it comes out!
im sharing this video with all of my engaged friends. i just bought my bridal set moissanite and im in love!!!
Awe thank you so much for sharing 🥰 isn't moissanite just so beautiful?! I'm obsessed!
Love this video, I am definitely wanting moissanite for my anniversary ring. No more diamonds for me. Your educated insight sealed the deal.
Thank you so much for the love you are showing to moissanite and being so happy with your gorgeous choice 😍😍 your ring is gorge ❤️ so happy that moissanite is getting the attention it deserves 💍💎
Hehe thank you so much!!!😇🤍
A very thorough & well put video. Love the description & extra info you provided. Your ring is gorgeous & love the different lighting and angles you showcased the ring. Awesome!!!
Thank you so much for saying that and thank you for watching! I'm glad you enjoyed🥰
I just purchased a moissanite bridal set last week at the jewelry store. The sales manager said to me after paying for it, "Oh so you are aware this stone won't be as clear and may be foggy looking. I should have said something about it sooner. I hope it won't matter to your girlfriend?"
I said no I highly doubt it'll matter to her because she's not like that.
The bridal set is also rose gold and stones are placed in vintage style bands :)
Thank you for your video and insight! Be blessed and congratulations!!
Hi Will! I have never heard this before, and have seen old moissanites that still look good as new! Perhaps the sales associate was confusing another stone? I bet the set is absolutely stunning from what you described 😍😍😍 Congratulations to you too and thank you so much for watching!
This is the best moissanite video I’ve seen so far! We are in the process of figuring out what I want, and watching this video made me confident I want moissanite. I hadn’t heard of Olive Avenue either, so I’m excited to check them out. Thanks for the video!
Awwww I'm so glad to hear that!!! I'm so glad this helped you to make your decision. Let me know if you end up getting a ring from Olive Ave🥰Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for making this video! My boyfriend and I are planning on getting engaged, and my mom is traditional and has been judgmental about my ring choices. But this has been so helpful and affirming! I sent it to my boyfriend.
I want the same exact ring as yours. It’s basically my dream ring. So regal, classy and elegant.
Awe thank you so much!!! It’s almost three years later and I’m still obsessed with it😍😍😍😍definitely recommend!!
1. That scripture though. & CONGRATULATIONS!
2. Doing SO much research and THIS.IS.IT. What I needed and what I was looking for.
3. SO THANKFUL FOR THIS VIDEO AND WHO YOU ARE!
Thank you so much, Sonia!!! I’m so glad to hear this was helpful for you🥰❤️✨thank you for watching!
Thank you for this awesome video. Also, your high quality video helped me determine between getting a crushed ice and brilliant cut. Your ring is stunning!
Awww yay I'm so glad🥰Thank you so much for watching!
OMG. First of all congratulations! But also thank you for posting this video. My 20th anniversary is approaching and my hubby wanted to upgrade my diamond ring. However, I've been considering moissanite for a long time and you have helped me solidify my decision! Can't wait to see your wedding band!
thank you so much for watching 🥰 and YAY I'm glad you're team moissanite now🤎✨
I agree with you and your content! You ring is stunning!!! Had I known about moissanites I would’ve picked it. I opted for lab diamond vs. natural diamonds. Now With resources and the internet research , we have more options in picking and there is nothing wrong with that! My fiance and I went ring shopping together. Lucky for him I had no idea what I wanted but started looking and told him what I’m happy getting. He got me a ring that was a good happy medium and encompasses what we both wanted and I couldn’t be happier ❤.
Awe I’m so happy to hear you got a ring that you both love🫶🏽🥹What style of ring did you end up with?!
And thank you so much for watching!🥰
@@julia_zaniewski - he got me a classic round with pave stones! So happy!!!😀
I've watched quite a few and this is the best video I've seen on moissanite and engagement rings by far! I don't know much but I resonated with a lot of things you said - diamonds are largely a scam, the kimberley process is a scam, and the entire industry has been a scam from the beginning.
Also love the quick scripture seed planted in the beginning, congrats to you and your fiancee/husband!
Oh I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed this video so much!!! Thank you for watching🥰God bless!
Congratulations 🥂 I have a 9×7 emerald cut moissanite center with 1ct lab created diamond band yellow gold engagement ring from The True Gem engaged 💍 for a year now and it looks just like the day I received it. I am proud to show off my ring and educate people if they want to know more. I love the fact that it is flawless and a slight rainbow effect in sunlight.
Eek I got my ring from them too. Love them
Yessssss so true!!!! I love all of this and from what you described, I bet your ring is absolutely STUNNING😍
I would love a part2. I have questions!
- what do you think about sparkles of round vs oval cuts
- what are the differences between ice crushed and brilliant cut
- should I worry about the bow tie effect in moissanites?
- is moissanite easy enough to make that there are many companies that make them or there are only small numbers of companies who can successfully make them?
- if there are many companies making them, is there a regulation or standard for quality or cuts like the GIA for diamonds?
I so agree with you on the diamond part, hence why I've sold mine and will be creating my dream ring with a moissanite!! They're equally, if not just as more beautiful than a diamond and you're not saving your whole life just to buy a ring that you love.
I see it now as, the ring should be what you love and represent you opposed to what it is.
Also, I appreciate the end clips of you showing the moissanite in all lightings!!! Soo many videos but yours is by far the best, so thank you! X
Thank you so much for watching! And I 100% agree with you😇🤎 The ring is about so much more than what it physically is! And thank you for sticking around til the very end of the video!
I'm a year late to comment on this video but thank you for the in depth information on Moissanite. I ordered my first Moissanite ring and finally received it yesterday. You are absolutely right about the sparkle and shine 🤩
Also, your ring is ssssstunning on you!!! ❣
Thank you so much for watching!! And YAY I’m glad to hear you love the moissanite ring you got!🥰I’m obsessed with the sparkle✨
First off congratulations that's an extremely beautiful ring.
Second, I totally agree with you about diamonds and moissanite. That's why I chose a lab color stone, alexandrite(due to it changing color between my three favorite stone colors.) with moissanite side stones. I'm so happy I chose lab created stones that sparkle as much as they do. My husband surprised me this Christmas(2022) with the ring I really wanted years ago.
Thank you for posting this video. I learned more about the side stones in my ring than I was able to find in other videos.
I have many pieces and have been a fan since about 33 years ago. I remember the first ones had a greenish tinge, rather than the fine white of today.
Thoroughly enjoyed your video. I’ve been doing some research about diamond alternatives & your video was enlightening and informative. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! 💕
I'm so glad to hear this video was helpful for you🥰thank you so much for watching!
The best moissanite video!! Thank you so much for making this.
I'm so glad you enjoyed this video🥰Thank you for watching!!
I got engaged in February and I’m OBSESSED with this ring, on personality alone I HAD to sub
Awe congratulations!!!🫶🏽☺️and thank you so much🥹🥹🥹🥹you have no idea how much I appreciate the support!
From a moissanite lover to you congrats your ring is very beautiful. I agree with you in everything thanks for the info. My e-ring is also a moissanite blue ❤i love it is gorges. Congrats and many blessings for a happy life together. 🎉🥰
Thank you so much and thank you for watching!!🤗
Gosh, you are so beautiful!!
Awe🫶🏽🥹thank you so much!! And thank you for watching!!
You nailed Girl!
I love the explanation.
Congratulations on your engagement, you’ve got a beautiful ring!
I also have a 3 carat Emerald cut Moissanite solitaire in 18k yellow gold band, and I love it!
I wanna go for a bigger moissanite the next time.
I had a great experience buying my Moissanite and I super recommend!
Thank you so much! Your ring sounds beautiful from what you've described😍😍😍😍Thank you so much for watching!
Yr Ring is Stunning, I love it! CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
I totally agree with this stone, I think it is gorgeous & would love to own one💖💖💖💖💖
Hehe thank you!!! And thank you so much for taking the time to watch!!!🥰
I just got one and I love it! This video was great!
Awe yay I’m so glad to hear that!!!☺️🤍✨
This video really helped with my decision to purchase moissanite!! Although I can afford a diamond I’m a firm believer that it’s not about price or size the commitment is what’s important so I’ll save the extra 5-6 k for more important things thanks for the vid
Awe yay I'm so glad to hear that this video was helpful for you!!🤎✨AMEN to everything you said! Thank you for watching!
I have a 3.80 ct Moissanite and a AAA tanzanite diamond ring to be honest I prefer the Moissanite . congratulations to you both from scotland
Great sparkle! I love Moissanite!
Me too!!! Thank you for watching ☺️
Very insightful. I'm rethinking my ring idea.
Awe yay I’m so happy it was helpful! Thank you for watching!!!☺️
EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! So informative and true (I’ve seen other videos that had the wrong information…) Congratulations and all the best!
Thank you so much for watching! 😇🤎✨
I love the way you layout the agenda of the discussion. Thank you so much! I want to get one but idk where to start
I'm so glad you liked this video🥰Thank you for watching! And I recommend just looking at pictures of rings and going into stores to see what kind of styles you like and narrow down from there. Then you can feel confident if you want to order a moissanite online! Some stores do offer it in person, but stores like Olive Ave provide you with customization options 😇✨
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve always known that I wanted moissanite but now I have no doubts! Can’t wait to find mine. You were a joy to watch ☺️
I'm so glad this video was helpful for you🥰Thank you so much for watching and I hope you find your dream ring too!!!🤎✨
Congratulations! Your ring is GORGEOUS. I also have a moissanite ring and i'm so in love with it. This video was so thorough, informative, and well done :)
hehe thank you so much!😇✨I'm so glad to hear you love it too😍😍😍I'm glad you liked the video, and thank you for watching!!!
Love your insight! I wanted a lab pink diamond, but after seeing a pink Moissanite, I can't stop thinking about it! After watching this, you've convinced me to go with the Moissanite. Great video & congrats to you! Gorgeous ring 😍
I'm so glad this video was helpful for your decision! 💖 Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Awesome discrimination - without being to overly scientific... I just got my first moissanite ring - thanks to my niece. I've been old school diamonds forever ole gal. I am looking for some earring studs to go with it. Great video! Oh, and congratulations!
Congratulations! Your ring is very pretty. 🥰 ♥️You explain moissanite so well. 👏🏻
hehe thank you😇✨and thank you so much for watching!!!
Congratulations 🎉!!
I also have been a huge fan of moissanite! You just can't beat that bling!!
Right?!?! It’s SOOOOO sparkly I love it🤩
Thank you for watching☺️🤎✨
Well done video! Ethical, affordable, beautiful. I have a dimond i bought long time ago it cost me so much i never put it on... i didn't know about the mining industry when i got it. I have a moissanite ring that is super super sparkly and beautiful and i am not afraid to lose it. Now i just need the man😄
I love your ring. I have the exact same but in sterling silver.
Hehe thank you! And awe we’re twins!!!☺️Thank you so much for watching!
definitly the most informative video Ive seen. I thought it was funny when you said it's not a cheap stone, because I know you can get a decent moissanite ring from Amazon for under $50 and Im just curious how a C&C moissanite stone compares, can a difference be seen with the naked eye. Also, I wish someone would talk about alternative stones (sapphire, ruby, etc) which can be had dirt cheap but still look beautiful and are very durable, and look better than a silicone band.
@@melc4308 ya I've been learning more about diamonds too. Watched a video from Bonnie jewelry and turns out the 4C's aren't actually a good way of valuing a diamond because the color/tint/reflection of two identical diamonds can be completely different so you have to look at them in person to make sure you aren't getting a dark diamond. So this is also gonna apply to moissanite and I was looking at the $25 ring I bought and now I notice how dark the tint is.
Thank you so much for watching!!! I’ve never seen one of the cheaper moissanites in person, so I can’t really speak to the quality of them☺️
This video was fantastic! Thank you!!!
I’m glad you liked it!☺️thank you so much for watching!
Beautiful ring! Thank you for the information. ❤
Thank you so much for watching!! I hope it was helpful for you🤍✨
Down with debeers! And your ring is enchanting 😍
Thank you for watching☺️🤍✨
Love love your ring!!!
Heheh thank you!!!🫶🏽☺️
GORGEOUS ❤❤❤❤
THANK YOU!!!!!☺️🤍✨
11:37 yep. Nailed it. This is my opinion also. - I also think they are prettier. I love my moissanite engagement ring.
I know right?!😍thank you for watching!!
Excellent information!! Gorgeous ring💍💍💍💍💍💍❤
Thank you so much for watching 🥰
Very informative video. I love it! My bf and I have been talking about getting married (elopement) and I too told him I do NOT want a diamond. I’ve been doing my research and told him I want a moissanite and the exact style I want 😆
Thank you so much for watching!!🥰and congratulations!! And I love that you’re communicating exactly what you want!!☺️What style do you want to get??
Moissanites are durable quality stones. Wise choice, especially when a larger affordable earth diamond will usually have inclusions and a colour tint.
Exactly!! Thank you so much for watching🤍✨
Congratulations 💍 Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge with us. I loved all the details you shared 🤍 Best video I’ve seen about Monssanite.
thank you so much🥰 and thank you for watching!!!
I bought my oval moissanite on etsy for under &100. Its absolutely stunning. It looks exactly like the Charles and Covard moissanite rings
Yessss girl!!! Love that for you!!!😍😍😍
This was so informative. Thank you so much!
I'm so glad!!!🥰thank you for watching!
this is a great post! I am about to order a ring. What do you thinking of Diamond Nexus ?
Thank you so much for watching!! I don’t have personal experience with them and I don’t know anyone who has used them, but hopefully they’re good!🤗
I love the size that you picked out. I see a lot of people getting bigger rings because they’re more affordable for moissanite. However, bigger does not look better. Whatever size is on your finger looks amazing. It looks classy and not bulky. Plus, I also noticed the smaller the size of the stone, the more sparkly the stone is, and I don’t mean those tiny side stones.
Thank you so much!!! And I 100% agree!! Sometimes the huge rocks look very cheesy in my opinion😂But if that’s someone’s style then good for them! Just not for me, thank you🙅🏽♀️😂
I am SO happy I found this video. I couldn’t thank you enough, and your ring is beyond 🙌🏻
Awe thank you so much for watching!!! I hope it was helpful for you☺️✨
Congratulations on your new adventure!
You motivated me to go for the oval solitaire look(I was dead set on moissonite however). I love the simplicity yet elegant look on your fingers. Congrats!
Thank you so much!!!🥰and yes I LOVE the oval solitaire. Truly so timeless and classy in my (not so unbiased) opinion😂Thank you for watching!!!
Firstly, fantastic,comprehensive review on this amazing gem. I have been researching Moissanite for about 6 months now. Your accurate and through information is very respectable.
This led me to sub. I look gorward to seeing more from you. You are a breath of fresh air.
Sincerely,
Gina
Charleston,S.C.
thank you so much for your kind words and for subscribing, Gina!!! I appreciate that more than you know 🥰
I love your ring, so simple but elegant and just stunning! Thanks for educating me about moissannite, didn't really know there was a just (or nearly) as hard alternative to diamonds which have always been problematic with false prices and ethics. I think people's aversion to lab made gems might be due to scientific illiteracy, not understanding it's not the same as other synthetic materials and foods/food chemicals where it can be better ( and sometimes quite important) to have the natural version. Geology is different, a gem is a gem.
Here in Australia those worried about ethics used to be able to insist on Argyle diamonds mined in our own country and use fair trade or recycled gold or platinum. However now the Argyle mine has closed I'd been wondering what those that wanted to be able to get pleasure from their jewellery because of having clear conscience would do now and in the future. Sounds like moissannite is a good alternative many will be happy with. I'm wondering if it will hold its value? I figure people want it in other jewellery, not just engagement rings.
You seem to assume everyone knows, but I've found it's amazing how few people know about ethics and sustainability in the jewellery industry so maybe you could talk about that more in the future. Non profit organisations and charities have done a reasonably good job promoting fairly widespread awareness of these issues in the clothing industry but no one seems to be pushing awareness of their bad practices in the jewellery industry so the more people educating others about it the better. Especially as so much money is made on the back of human suffering from products that aren't essential for human existence, they just give pleasure. I think more people would not get pleasure from their jewellery if they knew about the misery and exploitation involved in their production.
I'd be happy to hear more about that and other gems and precious metals and anything else interesting about the jewellery industry that you think people aren't aware of or would like to learn. And pearls maybe too, getting ethical pearls can be really difficult. Although if you can afford the top quality expensive ones here in Australia you can buy white South Sea pearls from Western Australia. But not South Sea Pearls with other colours as so far I've not heard any evidence of fair trade practices in Philippines, Tahiti, Myanmar (Burma), China etc. where they're cultured. Japan now cultures its pearls offshore in China or other Asian countries.
You didn't mention pink diamonds, I don't know much about them but have heard they can be quite popular but guess problematic in same way.
I'm always, always interested in curly hair videos as well!
Thanks for the pleasure of watching you again in a TH-cam video, I won't repeat why I love your channel and keen to see more on TH-cam as I put that all in my comment on your previous video about getting your new puppy. So please go back and read that if you haven't seen it. 😀❤
Hi Stephanie!! Thank you so much for this wonderful comment and taking the time to watch my video🥰I definitely agree about your comments on ethics and sustainability, I just do not feel I have enough factual evidence to explain to people! Perhaps I will research more and do a part two including that information! I also have not looked into pearls much specifically, but it is something I definitely would love to learn more about!!!
I would love to do more curly hair content! Maybe my updated curly hair routine would be good? Thank you again for being such a wonderful supporter. It is appreciated more than you know!!!❤🥺
@@julia_zaniewski Your welcome. Since I wrote that comment I found out that they're still selling Argyle pink diamonds, well here in Australia, but their online stores probably reach everywhere in the world. However as the mine closed a while back stocks will eventually run out and will get more expensive I presume closer to that time. So I'm guessing moissannite would be a better option cost wise still, especially if wanted for engagement rings as most would want the traditional non-coloured look.
@@julia_zaniewski oh, and yes, an updated routine, new products, styling techniques you've tried etc. Any ideas you've got from curly friends/ in curly girl groups/ curly influencers etc. Everyone's hair is unique in what it needs but we get some good ideas from each other to help us manage our curls by trying out different things.
Hi! I also have a C&C moissanite and love my stone! I was wondering if you’ve experienced any of the oil slick or film that appears on the stone? I’ve tried to clean it with a toothbrush and toothpaste as well as with dawn dishsoap and warm water. I still get the oil slick/film 😭 I avoid any oils or lotions when wearing my ring. Do you have any tips?
I really like your visuals for the carbon vs silicone carbide. I need those visuals. Also, I love how you actually presented valuable knowledge on this topic. I wish you hadn’t said “I’m not smart enough to talk about here”…and instead would have said “I’m not going to waste your time talking about engineering stuff in a video about engagement rings.” You’re clearly very intelligent, well spoken, polished, and a hardworking. Our bodies don’t know the difference between jokes and serious comments. Keep making videos! I just subscribed!
Awe well thank you so much for your encouragement! You are absolutely right, and I appreciate that🤎Thank you for watching!!!
