      Those semi rare gems are the best.

      As pretty as the ruby/diamond/emrald stones, but without the absurd costs.

        Moissanite has better sparkle and fire than diamond. It literally looks better! And as the article says, it’s mostly about the setting more than the stone

          Most of people are happy with shiny thing that won’t start to look cheap as they wear off. We can’t all of us be jeweler after all.

        I bought my mom two sets of moissanite jewelry for generic winter holiday times this year! Matching necklace and earrings!

      I remember watching a yt short comapring diamond and moissanite and the guy said at the end something along the lines of don’t buy moissanite because idlf you heat it up and then cool it with ice it becomes fragile.

      The best thing was that the comments were all hating on him for so obviously being a diamond industry shill becaue he displayed all the advantages of moissanite and then said to buy diamonds. He got ripped a new one.

    • Moissanite: chemical formula SiC, not pure carbon. 60/100

      Lonsdaleite: chemical formula C, pure carbon, hexagonal crystal structure, naturally created by meteorite impacts, synthetic versions are harder than diamonds. Awesome/100.
