Question by jlo1010: Can anyone tell the differences between Moissanite and Briolite engagement rings?

I’m trying to look for an engagement ring that isn’t a diamond, but a colorless alternative. I’ve already done my research on Moissanite but can’t find much information on Briolite rings….does anyone own a Briolite ring? What do you think of it?

what are the reasons for you choosing a colorless alternative to a diamond. and yes i can tell the difference but most people cant. if you would like a large stone now and maybe later replace it with a diamond then i suggest a CZ. moissanite under a loupe “doubles” which lets a jeweler know that it isnt a diamond. actually a CZ looks more like a diamond and its cheaper than a moissanite. remember there is a difference between simulated and synthetic stones, neither briolite, moissonite or CZ are diamonds, they just look like a colorless stone. my advise is not to go with a briolite or moissanite. both will wear eventually and beard because they arent as hard as a diamond, then people will know they are fake, at least with a CZ you can replace it cheaply when it begins to beard.
