All About Moissanites: Lauren B Live Show #5 

boimackhead where did you get your moissanite?

I'll take a diamond any day.

seller? If you don't mind sharing but i have a feeling mossanite just may be more expensive now

boimackhead hey I just got one from etsy as well. Do you have a video you should make one. I love just watching them sparkle I am obsessed!!!

Absolutely. Its crazy how ridiculously expensive they are. I've been to tiffanies and cartier, vancleefs , so many..PRICES are crazy. A 0.90 carat was so small cost like $35, 000. Honestly make a person sick to realize how overly priced a tiny little rock is, cannot justify those prices NO matter how much I love diamond...im realizing over time, I just love sparkle...don't really care about diamonds, would still like one but not at those high-way robbery prices. really shameful. mossanite is gorgeous. Greatest thing I discovered too.

❤

yup yup

Idk man. I can spot it from a mile away. Also in videos and pictures. Diamons will let off a sparkle not so much a rainbow. Not hating but when people know their gems theyll spot it immediately

Follow The Grow true but a lot of people don’t know as much as u do. I have both a diamond and a moissanite and honestly I love them both but I have to say my moissanite sparkles way more than my diamond and gets more compliments

I have to say I can tell and it’s too rainbow for me in person

Damn. No pear cut that’s what I want to see

Agreed, I find the ‘crushed ice’ effect more beautiful as well. The fire/rainbow effect is a little tacky to me.

I agree. Diamonds are more beautiful!!

The setting is different. The diamond ring has gems under the diamond, unlike the moissanite, giving it that crushed ice effect.

you are right, but at the same time, when you wear moissanite yo'll fall in love with the gem more and more everytime you experience how dazzling moissanite really it. Its stunning and costs enough too. moissanites are about $500 to $700 for solitaires (rounds) but when you buy fancy shapes they go up to like thousands.

@LikesandLoves Thanks for the reply. Yes, ive seen mossanites that are horrible like that. My moissanite really does look like a Diamond its incredible. The more I wear it the more I love it and it has the small tiny sparkles you're talking about, but its a moody gem. Depending on the lighting...but its so beautiful....that is too bad. Real diamonds are so expensive. But there is a jewelry in our town that sells exquisite diamonds for about $12,000.00. Thank you.

Which shop?

❤

We do, we do associate diamonds with the legend of everlasting commitment and all the original diamond legends stand for. Moissy can sure bring a lot of FAKE to a marriage 🤣 if I’d want something shiny, I’d buy a disco ball Diamonds are not disco balls

@@MrsPaulaTorres The irony of a bleach blonde referring to anything else as "fake".

@@MrsPaulaTorres what is wrong with you? You think a stone means your marriage has fake in it? Moissonite is a stone, not a fake diamond. Moissonites also come from asteroids, space. Much cooler than in the ground. You’re allowed to have your opinion but genuinely nobody needs to hear your negativity

@@KaysoiFnSniperx You do know that moissanite is lab grown right. Any natural moissanite are tiny crystals used as side stones.

@@MrsPaulaTorres I'm not a fan of moissanite either, but they are lab grown and are not fake. I also like diamonds more.

Thank you for watching!

❤️❤️❤️

Aleena Mathew hummmm it's nice but not prettier!

Amit Parekh It depends what your priorities are! We had a 2,000 dollar budget and with that I would have had a tiny little diamond whereas I prefer larger rings, so I got a moissy as well and saved 1,000 and that went towards my honey moon. I don’t think one is better than the other, because they’re not the same so they are both beautiful in their own way!

Lol the lies you tell.

So much prettier! What's the big deal about diamonds? The sparkle! And a diamond doesn't hold a match to a moissy. Anyone who prefers diamonds is just a sucker to marketing... think for yourself!!!

Moisanite is already go to wear , money is for other investments to make more money

That how they nick the diamonds off people who don't know any better. You might as well have went for a Cz.

@@Odo-so8pj Moissanite and CZ aren’t even in the same league. 🤣

Not even “cheap” ...affordable. I have a diamond as my engagement ring and am going for Moissanite for my anniversary. The difference in cost is my daughters yearly private school tuition, but that’s not why I am going with it. In every instance with the volume off my husband and I preferred Moissanite over the diamond, except the emerald.

@@Extraordinaryee Why not buy CZ. If its just the cost. Moissanite is over priced.

do you need moissanite?

Yocasta Pena Hay it's Gary's wife here I have a moissenite ring I love it I got it 8 years ago !! Hope this helps!!

I agree. If a person knows what diamonds look like and what moissanite looks like, the difference is very obvious. They do not look alike at all.

You will save a ton of money if you go moissante. Cost's about 10% of a lab diamond.

Diamonds sparkle gray and white while moissanite sparkle rainbow. Diamonds do reflect rainbow (on to) other surfaces but there is no rainbow in the diamond itself. CZ sparkles rainbow as well so moissanite always remind me of cz's.

Michelle Keyes You won't regret getting a Moissanite. I have been married for 11 years and mine is still as gorgeous and as brilliant as the day my husband proposed. And 11 years ago, Moissanite was JUST getting its name out there so there weren't as many options as there are now.

The other bad thing about diamonds bought from a Jeweler is you never can sell them for what you paid, and a pawn shop would even give you a 10th of what you paid. So yea the better stone is the Moissanite stone.

Michelle Keyes you will not regret that decision at all 10 years later and mine are all still very sparkly.....it don't hold oils or scratch like the CZ and is very brilliant. Good luck you will love it for life.

how much will your ring cost?

Michelle Keyes hi dear. (I know this is so delayed) but I'm just curious where were you thinking to purchase your marquise moissy? I haven't been able to find a retailer for one. And it's my favorite cut

LOL the difference is obvious.

I guessed right each time too. I'm a diamond fan though.

Victoria Lsaint oh please!!!!

Good for you! Anyone who prefers diamonds needs to learn to think for themselves.

@@melodiechartier5173 She has a right to speak the truth on how she feels... Wtf is your problem

@@melodiechartier5173 I agree.... " oh please"........ Blood diamonds dont really exist.... Dig an look further into the equation of "blood diamonds".... An your full of shit... For saying you wouldnt want or wear a genuine earth mined diamond.... Your full of shit....

@@silverghost4206 there is no difference between a lab and an earth mined diamond....

The cut pattern is different. A brilliant cut diamond and a brilliant cut moissanite do not look the same.

Alison Klein i agree, it was pretty easy to pick

I have diamonds, but am a magpie and actually prefer the moissy sparkle

Thanks we look forward to hearing from you!

taccora Most likely the mossys are not dug up humanely as well.

Bite Hunger Back moissanite isn't dug up. It's only grown in a lab. There is natural moissanite but it's rare and not used for jewelry

taccora Actually there are mined moissanites that are available. You can choose the color and clarity you want like a diamond. My friend got a real mossy that is about a karat and it was $800. But why get lab created moissanite? It's better to get a great quality cubic for a fraction of the price of a fake mossy.

Zirconia become cloudy, QUICKLY.

They don't sell mined mossy so im wondering how your friends got it...

Thank you for watching!

yes cheap flashes just like cubic zerconia , both double refractive and diamond is single refractive and have FIRE

Um so much misinformation in such a short post. First of all, "flashes" are not something which can be assigned a monetary value such as "cheap". A well cut CZ does not look markedly different from a diamond, so if CZ has "cheap flashes", then so does diamond. Second, CZ does not have birefringence (which you mistakenly call double refractive). Third, although moissanite has birefringence, that is only along one optical axis, which when cut properly and viewed face up will be almost impossible to see from face down. The reason some diamond cuts don't work in moissanite is simply because some diamond cuts don't work on moissanite - just as some moissanite cuts don't work in diamond. Fourth, although diamond is "singly refractive", its refractive index causes it to be less maximally brilliant than moissanite Fifth, diamonds do have fire... but less than either CZ or Moissanite, because they have a lower dispersive index. Moissanire has more brilliance and more fire than diamond. CZ has less brilliance but more fire than diamond. All three are gorgeous stones and cheapness is a subjective trait, mostly a result of individual bias.

Perfectly put!

@@jamesanagnos6123 zirconia doesn't look like a moissanite..

@@steeviem1835 and nether look like a diamond, and they both have double refraction, a diamond is single , how can they look like a diamond when the refractive index is so deferent lol are you stupid or what

Michelle Yarbrough same girl:)

Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching!😍

she is a 5 and thanks for watching!

Yes! But we can customize the ring to the budget

Wow.. Your a moron.. Hope you really didnt trade your 3 grand diamond set.. For a lab grown ... Man made stone...... If thats the case.. Ill trade you a moissanite.. For your diamonds rings..... Message me....

@@silverghost4206 diamonds are worthless. Consumers give it their value. The real morons are the ones willing to pay and even finance $13000+ for a rock. That's all it is btw. She most likely won't even get $3k on it maybe half of that because in reality diamonds are not worth how much they say it is.

@@missybe3238 you are right.. An are correct that they are way over priced than what they should be. But they are a gemstone an a beautiful one might i add. For jewerly they arent useless. But its a item we really dont need to own. Or spend thousands on. Your not wrong. I guess its whatever someone has to buy if they want it..

Anthony Valentino please learn the difference between your and you’re

Naturally - I agree it is very easy to tell the difference to me also - for me, the rule I heard YEARRRRRSSSS ago, was the "fireworks" being too much/ gives it away as not a real diamond (contrary to what so many people might assume or thing), & it still seems to be the same case, this has just reminded me - but, they are still lovely in their own right. I don't have any diamonds, right now, I'm kind of feeling gem stones if I'm honest. But the fact of the matter is, I haven't really cared for quite some time now, but.. particularly after this reminder, if someone came up to me and tried to say to me that a ring such as this morganite was real, I would absolutely just as I had been able to tell in the past, that it is not a real diamond. To my eye it's the purple flecks that give it away. Real diamonds do not have that. Anyway. I think that people should get and like what they enjoy.

Comes down to the cut and color of the sparkle and the different type of sparkle.

Barbara mowrey...I'm a Diamontologist and you couldn't be more wrong. Moissanite are easy for me to spot because it has a kind of greenish/yellow hue. I was noticing he was comparing them to diamonds of a j-k color which has a lot of yellow in them. I wish he would have compared to a colorless diamond (DEF) which has zero yellow in it so you could have seen the difference, I don't understand what you're saying about cleaning the diamond to make it clear. Clarity is measured and is on its cert...the imperfections are inside the diamond. Buy a high clarity diamond if you want it to be "clean" It is true that moissanites sparkle more because they are double refractive which means for every strand of light that goes into the stone, 2 come out split into the rainbow colors. That is another reason I can tell them apart from diamonds in a hot second. They are pretty, but they look absolutley nothing like a diamond to me. I wouldn't buy one because I think they look close enough to a diamond that you can fool people at first glance but off enough that they'll figure it out quick...then I feel like I'm trying to present something that's not real. I would consider it in a different color, like pink just because it's kind of unique. Also, at least in the diamond world, radiant are not as expensive as other cuts; the most waste comes from a round stone.

Thank you so much! That is the idea, that everyone can pick what center works for their budget the best

Not true. I have yet to fail pegging a moissanite engagement ring that someone I meet is wearing. A comparison is not needed unless a person knows nothing about either stone.

Thank you for watching and follow us on Instagram!💍💖

Lotus_Wolf820 the way ice cubes that have just started to freeze..

Oh wow. this is great, because I have to get my rings remade because the original jeweller screwed up my rings., Thank Goodness my moissanite it super gorgeous, I want to get it remade to have real diamond channel settings on each side and a wedding band in channel setting too, real diamonds, SO they do look good, im just afraid that it will all change in the sun because diamonds looks different form moissanites. I hope it works out. My new Jeweler says it will look stunning and you cannot tell them apart. Do you have gold setting or white gold..I have white gold in my screwed up rings but am considering yellow Gold, not too many people are getting that anymore. Thank you.

Moissanite is Not a diamond. The Moissanite is lab grown but it's not a lab grown diamond.

Thanks so much for viewing and commenting, please visit our showroom in New York to see in person

Yea I agree

EXACTLY all that fire in the moissanite makes me feel sick lol. Soo blah to me. If imma buy anything jewlery wise it will be ingots of 14k yellow gold and take it to my jeweler to be made. The mark up on some of these pieces is crazy. Lol miss me with that

thank you for watching and commenting! subscribe to see more videos

I’m the same way 😂

fashionerdxo Most likely mossys are not conflict free as well.

Why do you say that?

Moissanite is created in a lab. It is most definitely conflict free.

Anita Bath that's not true, they have real moissanites that get dug up.

They're so tiny that they can't be put into jewelry though. All the Moissanite you see in jewelry is created in a lab.

Good call!

It's all a matter of opinion. I like diamonds a lot more and their beauty is second to none IMO. If I want to save money I will go with a lab diamond. I don't see uniqueness in a moissanite as it's sparkle reminds me of a CZ which also sparkles rainbow.

Thanks for watching!💎💕
