Moissanite vs. Diamond?

Who has chosen a moissanite ring over a diamond? We are looking to upgrade my center stone and I just want opinions! Post pics if you have them.

    This is my 8X6 oval Moissy and i love it 😍 I told FH that I wanted moissanite. Took Mohs scale into account as well as wanting the look of a bigger stone but saving some money for my fiancé. It sparkles like crazy!

    I just have to say how much I love all of the positives about moissanite on this post! I am relieved that others are aware of the amazing qualities of the stone. On my engagement night, my fiancé surprised me with friends meeting us downtown after dinner. One of the boyfriends of our friend said that I had a “fake” diamond. It ruined my night. I felt like I had to justify why I chose this stone and what it meant to me. I totally agree that a clear and sparkly stone does not only belong to a diamond. I’m so happy, in love, and feel awesome about my choice to have a moissanite!

    We went with a moissanite stone and I’m so in love!! I just got it today... I browsed in person at Lauren B and was able to see a diamond next to a comparable moissanite stone. I was pretty blown away. We used my research and oredered from a great shop on Etsy.

    What an ignorant comment by the boyfriend. If anyone makes a comment like that to me in the future, they're going to regret it after I launch into my TED talk haha. All that matters is that you and your FH love your ring!

    Good for you, Denise! I love that though you have diamond e-ring, you are open minded & make informed decisions moving forward. That’s exactly the point of posts like this, we share info & learn about choices we have & we didn’t know about. It’s not about making anybody feel bad or talk down about their choices.
    I’m sure you will love your moissanite wedding band! Moissanite is so much harder, durable & sparklier than CZ, you don’t need to worry about that.
    My wedding band will also be moissanite, custom made 😍

    I have a white sapphire, but I'm so not into the diamond industry. It's so horrible. My husband got this one on his own. If it dulls too much we may replace the stones later, but I'm so happy with my ring!!! He put so much thought into it. He's the best =]]]

    I love, love, love my moissanite! I originally looked into getting one because I was really against wasting money and didn't want to support the diamond industry. But now that I have it, it's so much prettier and sparklier than the diamond rings I see on others, that I'd still pick it over a diamond even if the price and ethics weren't an issue. My only complaint is that I can't seem to photograph how pretty it is 😂

    It’s a 7.5mm Forever Brilliant (I think that’s what it’s called, must be a brand specific trademark). That size is a 1.5 ct equivalent.

    My center stone is a diamond that comes from a family ring. My FH's mother wanted him to use her mother's ring. The setting is new, since he knew my style (simple with some decoration), and fig the original sett

    It's not moissanite, but don't think I knew to much about the diamond industry. I love this ring, especially because it's a family heirloom.

    My husband got my ring on etsy through a shop called Rosados Box he says that the process was smooth even with engraving and they emailed him pictures before they shipped out when the rings arrived he says they were very secure. He would recommend and they have a lot of beautiful options Smiley smile
