Calling all moissanite ladies. I happened upon the bee by way of my search for moissanite info. I loved looking at all of your beautiful rings. So when I purchased my upgrade I wanted to share in the moissy love too. But it seems every time I see a moissy thread it turns in to an ugly environment by a few people. I am no longer involving myself in this negative banter and will only be focusing on my sole reason for joining the bee… To spread and share in our common appreciation for moissanite.
So let the moissanite porn begin. Feel free to offer up details and specs 🙂

here’s mine 🙂 purchased from moissaniteco. It’s a 7.5mm with halo and a twist shank. We have matching infinity tattoos and chose a twist shank to match with those. I had a diamond of pretty good quality but fell in love with the fire and brilliance of moissanite.
ps. I’m using my iPhone and it has a lovely way of making tons of typos.;)

@als1214: I have an alexandrite but I love looking at moissanites. Am I unwelcome or can I ogle?

I have a moissanite RHR and I think moissanite is so pretty. It is different to a diamond but variety is the spice of life!
Here’s a pic of my FB heart shaped moissanite compared to my diamond. I think the moissy shows a lot more colour despite it being an FB because it’s a fancy shape, I’m sure the rounds are much whiter. I only really see it if I’m putting it next to my “E” diamond, kind of like cream next to white.

@Chrysoberyl: ohh yes! Ogle away. I myself enjoy ogling rings:) Was just hoping to avoid any debates and whatnot and just keep a friendly moissanite love thread. Lol.
@Ms_Midori: Beautiful rings. Where did you get your heart moissy? I love the bezel setting. My FB stone is pretty white but does display some color and for me that is what I love. I always try to get photos of the rainbow effects but that is truly hard to capture.

@als1214: You should probably say “Moissanite LOVERS, not owners.” There are probably tons of bees waiting to own one. Also, there might be sapphire or emerald owners that won’t be negative about moissanite!

@Chrysoberyl: I would love to say that however I’ve observed some bees utilizing all of the moissy threads to demonstrate backhanded snarky comments under the pretense of education.
Id be more than happy to edit the header but I’m not 100% sure I know how or if that’s even possible.

The boyfriend creature and I have been becoming increasingly serious, and he recently brought up in our chatting about moissanite, talking about its properties and such, in that “I’m trying to feel out your opinion on this thing but trying to be subtle about it because I am a boy and think I am super sneaky and don’t have obvious intent” way. The more I’ve read into them, the more I’ve loved them. They’re drop dead gorgeous, so close in appearance to diamonds that they work in all the same settings, and they aren’t obtained through the suffering of others (Well, mostly. Insert joke about him being a lawyer here.) Partner that with the fact that I’m a hands on kind of lady and if a prong is damaged and a stone falls loose, it won’t cost an arm and a leg, and I don’t have to invest in ~ring insurance~? Brilliant. I slapped up some posts on them to my Pinterest board which he “tooootally doesn’t look at despite having discovered it” and I look forward to the day I blast one of those bad boys on my finger.
The only negative I really see people listing is that despite the fact that they have all the best aspects of diamonds and none of the worst, they are not diamonds and only cost a fraction of the price, and those kind of complaints always seem like they’re spurned by jealousy on the part of diamond advocates.

@Bracelet00: congratulations on taking that next step (talking of engagement is a serious step IMO). I fell in love with moissanite because of the fire and brilliance of the stone. It’s also such a romantic notion to have a stone that originated from a meteor. For all we know there may be planets out there with an abundance of moissanite. I am thoroughly in awe of space. Just started reading A Brief History of Everything and can’t seem to put it down. For us it was never a money thing as we can afford to purchase a diamond of like specifications as my moissy. I infact own diamond things as well. It was simply bc I like it. No more no less. Where have you begun your search if moissy rings that you like? If you like, post pics of ones you are considering. I love ring porn 😉
