WeddingBee stone wars . . . it just made me chuckle. Thanks for that.

I get it if someone says “I can’t afford a diamond, so I am getting an alternative”…I get it if someone says “I don’t want to spend the money on a diamond, so I am going to get an alternative”…when someone says “the alternatives are BETTER than a diamond” (for whatever reason), I am throwing the bullshit flag and calling jealousy.

Well, we’d kinda have to define, “better”, in that context before we could assign any intentions to their statement, don’t you think?

Oh, too funny. Love that guy!

I’d disagree. I’d want to know what the Bee was talking about when she says “better” before I form an opinion about her approach to bling buying. I feel the same about people talking up their ceramic knives while I’m still using my Ginsu set bought off the TV with our wedding money.

I have a diamond Ering, and I love it. But if I’d known about moissanite at the time, I would have opted for that instead. Different from a diamond and beautiful in it’s own way. Great quality stone, gorgeous rings, unbeatable price.

Rarity and cost doesn’t make something “better.” This is entirely a matter of personal preference.

Also, I think you need to learn the difference between “simulant” and “lab created.” Man made moissanite is not a diamond simulant. It’s a lab created version of natural moissanite, which is extremely rare (too rare to distribute widely as jewelry), and chemically identical to the real thing.

The only reason you came here was to try and make people feel bad about wearing moissanite. Do you really feel so badly about yourself, that you have to try to make other people feel bad? I feel sorry for you. *hugs*

I won’t say anything more on this topic, as this thread has been derailed, and it’s not beneficial to the OP anymore.
