Got my wife a Moissanite ring, it's even shinyer than diamonds and way cheaper, i love being with a practical woman <3
Moissanite gang rise up
Not doubting what you're saying (because I've heard it many times already) but that picture looks misleading because of the different light hitting each stone. These marketing tricks are so obvious that at this point they can even make the truth look like a lie.
The rainbow light in the graphic looks cheesy, but that is what the visual difference between the two rocks looks like
Yea sure man, but why is your comparison a rainbow being shat on the supposedly superior stone while the other gets a dull monotone?
Mine is moissy too, I picked it out, would have been pissed if my now husband wasted a car's worth of money to get the equivalent diamond, and wanted a solitaire, and I like this stone better.
No it doesn't get scratched up, as I am not scratching at it with a diamond. It's very hard.
Isn't it much softer too? Ie, it'll be all scratched to hell by day to day wear?
Nah Moissanite is still one of the hardest materials on earth at 9.5 on the mohs scale. Ain't shit gonna scratch that
Ah nice good to know.
Diamonds are really hard but there's other things that are pretty much up there. Unless you're planning on repeatedly punching sharpened graphite spikes with no gloves on wear isn't really a problem.
You might be thinking of cubic zirconium, which is another replacement for diamond. That one is softer, but my understanding is that it's still quite difficult to scratch
