Lab Created Diamonds Are Now Exceedingly Good. by Peter Crump

shobber — Mon, 02 Oct 2006 12:23:42 +0000

When we think of precious gems, we usually spare little thought to the hard work that it takes to bring them to us in the beautiful jewelry that we love to wear, but diamond mining is, in fact, an expensive and dangerous procedure, reflected to the consumer in the price that must be paid to own one. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there were some way to recreate that same brilliance and beauty in a less dangerous, and hence less expensive way? Today’s technological innovations mean that this does not have to be a pipe dream any longer – with lab created diamonds, we can wear beautiful gemstones produced by the intelligence of mankind, rather than the trials and tribulations of nature, and without the expense that mining brings. Lab created diamonds are now very good and becoming as popular as the real thing.

The popularity of diamonds have urged experts to try to find more cost effective ways of providing the brilliance of the stone in our jewelry, and over the years there have been many alternatives to diamonds put forward, including cut glass, rhinestones and cubic zirconium. While these have proved satisfactory for some purposes, these lab created diamonds have consistently lacked the brilliance and beauty of a genuine diamond. This was until the discovery of moissanite in meteor fragments, and the realisation that moissanite could be reproduced in controlled circumstances, leading to the dawn of lab made diamonds.

It was discovered in 1995 that moissanite could be reproduced under laboratory conditions, and the unique beauty of the stone made scientists realize that there would be a huge market for these lab created diamonds. While the difficulty involved in growing these lab made diamonds remains quite high, the price for moissanite jewelry is higher than you might expect in a diamond substitute, but today, many gemmologists consider the moissanite stone to be a gem in and of its own right. Unlike previous substitutes, moissanite is in many ways superior to diamonds, with more sparkle and brightness that the mined gem.

Previously, choosing a gem that looked like a diamond but wasn’t one was seen as a step down, a compromise, but with the quality of today’s lab created diamonds, this is no longer the case. So take advantage of today’s great moissanite prices while they last, because someday soon, the brilliant sparkle of this stone will make lab made diamonds even more sought after than the ‘real thing’.

Lab created diamonds, and Moissanite in particular, are now as good as the real thing.

Moissanite Wedding Set by Kristy Annely

shobber — Sat, 30 Sep 2006 12:21:12 +0000

Sporting a moissanite jewelry set on a bride’s wedding day is just about one of the most profound statements she can make. The effect that this set will have puts even diamonds to shame. On this day, a bride loves to show off – and nothing can showcase her better than the exuberant sparkle of a complete moissanite ensemble.

Moissanite can be cut to perfect specifications. The extreme refractive properties of the stone allow an experienced jeweler to design wedding jewelry sets with stone alignments that literally radiate fire in all directions. Such wedding sets are usually crafted in either 14 or 22 carat white gold or platinum, since these perfectly complement the moissanite and lend it a dramatic backdrop.

Moissanite wedding sets are eminently adaptable to individual budgets. Most of them are half the cost of a comparable diamond ensemble. A bride can flaunt an extravagant set on her wedding trousseau for a comparatively modest price.

The appeal of moissanite on the most significant day of a couple’s life is not just limited to women’s jewelry. Men’s wedding rings, tie pins and cufflinks sporting the moissanite are becoming increasingly popular. This is not surprising – moissanite is being cleverly marketed as the stone that most reflects a man’s most desirable qualities in relationships. It is among the hardest substances known, is literally “forever”, shines forth uninhibitedly, is economical, and can be molded according to desire. What woman could ask for more?

Men’s moissanite wedding rings are usually made with two tone white gold/yellow gold, said to be the perfect “male” blend. The wedding ring is invariably the only piece of jewelry a man can wear during his wedding; considering this limitation, it is only proper that it features a brilliant moissanite for maximum effect.

Discount Moissanite by Gordon Petten

shobber — Fri, 29 Sep 2006 12:20:15 +0000

There are a lot of people that will not know what moissanite is. In fact if anyone offered to give them a piece of moissanite they would probably turn them down. Moissanite is quite simply a jewel and this jewel contains properties that other jewels do not have. If you have a piece of jewellery with moissanite then it is highly likely that that moissanite is mined. This is because if anyone was to try and create moissanite in a laboratory then it would take 104 years to complete this process.

Moissanite is a beautiful jewel and discount moissanite will look even better when you purchase it. Moissanite is usually compared to diamonds and there are many diamond vs moissanite websites. The main fact is that whenever someone mentions diamond vs moissanite the moissanite jewel will always win. Diamonds are still the strongest substance known to man but moissanite is the second closest. Also a diamond vs moissanite heat resistance test will show surprising results. A diamond will catch fire and then vaporize at 1100C. However moissanite will still be fully intact at this temperature and it will still look just as gorgeous as the day it was originally created.

Other diamond vs moissanite tests show that due to the high temperature moissanite can withstand it is easier to cast moissanite in place and so any jewellery can get the perfect design that they are looking for. Also diamonds are prone to heat damage when a jeweller is repairing these diamonds. However with moissanite the chances of moissanite becoming damaged are less likely when the jeweller is performing repair operations. During a house fire moissanite has a high chance of surviving. Even though the temperatures can be extreme moissanite has a greater chance of surviving compared to a diamond. This will mean that you are less likely to loose this precious jewel during a house fire.

It can be very tough to find discount moissanite anywhere. This is due to many reasons and just on of these reasons is because moissanite has only been available to jewellers for a few years, so this is still an exclusive piece of jewellery. One reason why people like to buy moissanite is due to the fact that moissanite is lighter then a diamond and you could forget that you are wearing a piece of jewellery that has an exclusive jewel in there. In a few more years the chances of finding discount moissanite will be a lot higher then the chances that exist today.

Moissanite: The Great Diamond Alterative by Casey Buell

shobber — Tue, 26 Sep 2006 12:19:06 +0000

It was a very large meteorite that struck Arizona thousands of years ago. But the biggest impact of that meteorite was not its explosive contact with the earth’s surface, but instead was brought about by the smallest traces of an unknown mineral found within it. That mineral was moissanite. An exceedingly brilliant mineral, moissanite showed promise as the perfect gemstone, if only there was more of it. Alas, there was not. But now, more than a hundred years after its discovery, and through the miracles of modern science, moissanite has finally made its way onto the jewelry market, and is enjoying great success as a leading diamond alternative. With unequaled brilliance and fire it’s no wonder that moissanite is fast becoming the gemstone of choice for discerning buyers the world over.

The advantages of moissanite:

What are the reasons for buying moissanite? Why not simply buy diamonds instead? The fact is that there are many advantages to owning moissanite jewelry as opposed to diamond jewelry. Some of those advantages are:

The Brilliance: In the jewelry industry the term “brilliance” is used to denote the amount of white light returned through a gem to the eye of the observer. In other words, how “sparkly” a gem is. Moissanite is actually more brilliant than any diamond, allowing moissanite jewelry to “show” better than diamond jewelry.

The Fire: The dispersion of light through a gemstone, particularly a colorless one, creates flashes of color. This is commonly known as the fire. The light dispersion of moissanite is more than twice that of a diamond, giving it far more fire.

The Mystery: Moissanite is truly not of this world. Originally discovered in meteorites, moissanite has the allure of a heavenly star fallen to earth. Moissanite jewelry adds mystery and sophistication to any outfit.

The Cost: With all its beauty and allure moissanite jewelry is still less expensive than diamond jewelry. For instance: a pair of diamond stud earrings with a total carat weight of 2 ct. can cost $15,000 or more, while the same pair of earrings with moissanite instead of diamonds should cost around $900.

It is also important to note that moissanite is not a diamond substitute, like cubic zirconium, which seeks, and fails, to emulate the beauty of diamonds. Moissanite is instead a diamond alternative, with a beauty and allure all its own. Moissanite can be worn with pride, which is something that cannot be said about cubic zirconium.

Where is the best place to purchase moissanite:

To get an idea of the different styles and prices that are available in moissanite jewelry it is more convenient to view it online before shopping around at local jewelry stores.

Retail jewelers will sometimes carry a small selection of moissanite, but you will find a greater selection online. Just type “moissanite” into an Internet search engine like Google or Yahoo and you will find several reliable websites that specialize in moissanite.

The cost of moissanite jewelry is dependant upon several variables, the type of jewelry and the size of the stone. Moissanite earrings with a total carat weight of 2ct. should cost around $900. A 2ct. moissanite ring or pendant should cost between $1100 and $1200. A 4ct. moissanite tennis bracelet should cost around $2000.

Why moissanite is so popular:

Is there any wonder why moissanite is makings such a big splash in the jewelry industry? As colorless stones go even diamonds can’t match the beauty of moissanite, not to mention the cost. With brilliance, fire, and mystery trapped in the heart of every gem, moissanite is simply unequaled by any other stone.

Moissanite Rings by Kristy Annely

shobber — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 12:23:19 +0000

Moissanite adherents swear that its sparkle outclasses diamonds by a mile and a half. The fact that it has no natural flaws also stands in its favor. Wearing a moissanite ring is a sure attention grabber and conversation launcher. The stones are more popular than the previous favorite, cubic zirconium, for engagement, wedding and anniversary rings.

Certain class of purists object that moissanite, no matter how admirable its properties, can’t match the sentimental value of a diamond on occasions of the heart. This may have something to do with the fact that it costs less. Also, many people still see moissanite as “fake diamond” – a very unjustifiable definition. Moissanite is a unique mineral and is not meant to replace any other stones.

Moreover, diamonds are considered appropriate for engagement, wedding and anniversary rings because they are “forever”. The “eternal” factor stems from the virtually indestructible nature of diamonds. By that coin, moissanite holds its own with diamonds. It also matches – if not surpasses – the sparkle and “fire” of diamonds. In other words, such arguments fall flat in the light of unbiased logic. Platinum, for instance, does not surpass gold – it is merely a precious and attractive metal in its own right.

Actually, much of the present bias against moissanite rings for sentimental/relationship occasions has more to do with successful marketing hype against them than anything else. Moissanite is a valid jewelry medium, measured in carats and worthy of being set in precious metals such as gold, silver and platinum.

If anything, choosing moissanite over diamond shows a progressive thinker who resists bending to tradition. This planet has limited resources, and diamonds will become progressively rarer in years to come. It would be a sorry statement on modern civilization if engagements and weddings reduce proportionately.
