EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MOISSANITE | ALSO... I'M ENGAGED... MY OLIVE AVE RING DETAILS 

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 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😊

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!!

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT!!! Enjoy this season in your lives! Thanks so much for this wonderful informative video! Blessings & hugs!!!

My Moissanite wedding set is absolutely gorgeous! I’m wholly team Moissanite! ❤

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!!!

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!!!

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.

I am not an enjoyer or appreciater of history but your history lesson is one I love! Thank you for educating us!

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 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.

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 💍💎

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, 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!

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. 💯❤️👑🙏🏾😁 💍

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

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!❤🙏🏻

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 😍

Love this video, I am definitely wanting moissanite for my anniversary ring. No more diamonds for me. Your educated insight sealed the deal.

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!

im sharing this video with all of my engaged friends. i just bought my bridal set moissanite and im in love!!!

Beautiful ring Sis and Congratulations! And thanks for sharing.. I’ve been doing my research on these stones and I think I’d prefer these going forward for several reasons.. and You’re right , we put value on things because we’re fed propaganda.. but when people actually stop and think and make decisions for themselves without the subconscious thought of “what will others think” we will actually be more encouraged to just get the things “we” actually like 😇

BY FAR this is my favorite Moissanite video. Thanks!

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 love the way you layout the agenda of the discussion. Thank you so much! I want to get one but idk where to start

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!

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 :)

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!

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 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 ☺️

Great video! Needed this info and your personality is fantastic.

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!

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! 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!!!

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!!!

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

Such helpful and straight to the point information. Thanks for the video, girly! Subscribed 🫶🏼

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.

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 😍

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! 💕

First off- Congratulations!!! Secondly- thank you so much for the video! My boyfriend (soon to be fiancé) is making my engagement ring, and he bought me a moissanite!! I’m not allowed to see it yet but I can’t wait to! This video just made me even more excited!!

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. 🎉🥰

I am SO happy I found this video. I couldn’t thank you enough, and your ring is beyond 🙌🏻

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!

The best moissanite video!! Thank you so much for making this.

EXCELLENT VIDEO!!! So informative and true (I’ve seen other videos that had the wrong information…) Congratulations and all the best!

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 want the same exact ring as yours. It’s basically my dream ring. So regal, classy and elegant.

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.

Congratulations! Your ring is very pretty. 🥰 ♥️You explain moissanite so well. 👏🏻

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😄

Congratulations 🎉!! I also have been a huge fan of moissanite! You just can't beat that bling!!

I just bought a 3 carat oval with diamonds on the side. I absolutely love my mossanite ring. Great video!

Love love love this video! You are so adorable! You reminded me of my younger self! So very educational, great, true knowledge 👏! I love your ring. I also have a 4.20 carat moissanite for my new replacement engagement ring. It is sooo good 👍. Can't wait for the next video from you! :)

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.😊

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!

Beautiful ring 💍 🎉 I’m looking for a moissanite ring & I think I want oval. I’ve ordered cushion & oval solitaires from Modern Gents to test run the size and style. I’m so glad I found your video because now I have a reputable company to buy from. My 19th anniversary is coming up and I think a large sparkly ring is in order 🥳🎊🤩😂😂💗 thanks for sharing!

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.

Very insightful. I'm rethinking my ring idea.

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.

Thank you so much for this video. Definitely saving this. Thank you again! 💝

I got engaged in February and I’m OBSESSED with this ring, on personality alone I HAD to sub

Yr Ring is Stunning, I love it! CONGRATULATIONS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️ I totally agree with this stone, I think it is gorgeous & would love to own one💖💖💖💖💖

Firstly, congratulations♥ Secondly, thank you for your explanation on both different stone. I bought a moissanite ring But I don't have any idea about it and so i saw your video. I love your explanation! It's clear enough to understand!

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!

Oh my this was the best moissanite video everrr! You are so enjoyable to watch! Thank you so much for making this 🤗❤️

That’s a beautiful ring!!! ☺️😍 Also great informative video! I have been obsessively buying a lot of moissanite lately with no slowing down in sight!

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 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

Theyyyyy best video handsss down. My mom swears by diamond 🙄😂🤦🏾‍♀️ (old school mentality) but i just don’t want one. I want a moissanite or morganite. This was so helpful and well appreciated

I agree I have both and I love my moissanite so much more than my diamonds. Thank you for this video.💕💕💕

Best ring video on moissanite thanks girl!

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?

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. ❤❤❤❤

Looove this!!! This is such great info! I have a diamond but I think moissanite is a great option!! I always wanted to have a diamond but moissanite is really pretty!

Excellent information!! Gorgeous ring💍💍💍💍💍💍❤

What a great video very informative love your personality girl.

Enjoy your time being engaged, time moves swiftly. Very simple yet lovely! I also have a moissy as well but in the round cut. Had it since summer 2019 and wouldn’t go for another stone type.

This was so informative. Thank you so much!

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!

I literally love your personality and I LOVED this video. So entertaining and informative! I think im #teammoissanite

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 RU-vid video, I won't repeat why I love your channel and keen to see more on RU-vid 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. 😀❤

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'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!!! ❣

Down with debeers! And your ring is enchanting 😍

Love everything about this video! Informative and valuable information. Thank you for sharing this wonderful website. Do you have an idea what kind of band you will be choosing? Can’t wait to see it!

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.

I just got one and I love it! This video was great!

Congratulations on everything ! I just watched your wedding video as well. Very beautiful. Wish you both the best. I had a question about your wedding band. You went with a white gold band? I couldn't tell.

Beautiful ring! Thank you for the information. ❤

First, congraulations! your ring is gorgeous. I too am wanting an oval Moissanite and after doing extensive research I have found your video to be the best in terms of showing a Charles and Colvard stone in alllll lighting settings -which is exceptional among all of the other info detailed in your video thank you for this, truly! New Sub here (:

Love love your ring!!!

Love love loved this video THANK YOU it was so helpful😫🙏🏻 can’t wait to find the right one and I LOVE Olive Ave💕💕

Your background in jewelry sounds sooo fascinating to me! Your ring IS STUNNING!!!! I could look at it all day! I’m very impressed! Qs: My ER is a 4.1 ct natural yellow diamond. Do moissanites come in colors also? Do they cut the same facets in Ms as in Ds?

Amen to everything said 💕 you are 100% right. In retail, everything’s value is only as much as what we “give” it.

I'm so sad! I wish I knew about moissanites when my fiancé was looking for rings. He actually did purchase a moissanite ring for me in the dream ring that I wanted but when it came in he was a little sad about it bc he did get me a rings already with genuine diamonds but it wasn't the cut i wanted and he already knew that but I was so back and forth about the cut anyways lol I've never really cared much about diamonds or rings so this was all new to me. So I'm keeping the ring he got me on for now in a year I'll act like it's an "upgrade" LOL and switch it out. I'd it mean to say I love the ring he got me but I love my moissanite more? 😩😩 thank you for this video also, I've watched a bunch of videos on moissanites and you've had the best so far!! 🥰🤗💜 gorgeous ring and congratulations

Thank you so much for this video such brilliant advice xx

Thanks for sharing! Love your video!

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!!
