A Little About Moissanite
I sometimes get asked for my opinion on moissanite diamonds.

Synthetic lab grown moissanite by Charles & Colvard has been around for almost 2 decades.

Moissanite, in my opinion, wasn’t a good looking diamond alternative for most of it’s earlier days in the jewelry marketplace.

I’d refer engagement ring clients to the nearest jewelry stores that sold moissanite engagement rings.

- Brilliance
- Conflict Free Assuredness
- Color & Clarity
