I’ve been a woman for 37 years and I have never found a boring white diamond to be appealing. It’s a rock. It’s a boring color. Even as a little girl being shown the first real diamond I’ve ever seen in person, by my materialistic mother who made quite the to-do, I couldn’t understand the appeal.
When I saw the first moissanite in person? I didn’t know what it was, but I couldn’t stop staring at this woman’s ring! It was so… I had to apologize for staring, and when I told her I didn’t know why I couldn’t quit staring, she told me.
“It’s moissanite,” she said, grinning. Apparently, this happens to her four times a day. She told me all about it and even how to spell it. I popped it in my phone.
“I’ve never wanted to spend a fortune on a rock before in my life but I must have one.”
“That’s the best part,” she said. “They’re synthetic. This ring cost me less than $100.”
Since then I’ve put moissanite next to a diamond and the moissanite shines brighter, and more importantly, has a gorgeous rainbow flash. The moissanite wins every time.
No, no, they sell synthetic diamonds at jewelry stores now. They just cost the same as the mined ones, because of course they do.
Moissanite is better anyways.
Say it again for the people in the back!
