I converted
I still love moissanite and appreciate them for what they are but damn I was wrong. I do indeed prefer a diamond.
Specially I prefer an oval diamond over an oval moissanite. I recently upgraded mainly because I bent my setting (I didn’t know 1.5 was too thin at the time I found this sub too late!!!) and kept bending it. It needed to be replaced and the cost of lab diamonds has significantly dropped since i got engaged, so i decided to try out a diamond.
Let me tell you i am blown away. The depth is unmatched. It’s hard to capture on camera, which is probably why I never realized the difference, but it just looks so crisp and clean. It makes my freshly cleaned moissanite look cloudy and dirty.
I really hyped up my moissanite and said diamonds are a waste blah blah blah. I was wrong and I’m sorry to all the diamond lovers. There indeed is a difference and a space for both moissanites and diamonds in this world. I’ll still be buying moissanite but it’ll be shape and size specific.
Note: I’m not hating on moissanite and I still love and would recommend moissanite as an engagement ring. This is just my preference and I thought it was fun and silly to reflect on as a past diamond hater.
