    As some could have you believe the sweetness of moissanite, irrespective of it is obvious diamond like dazzle and brilliance is that it's being hailed as it's own stone, it's not just a "fake diamond".

    Moissanite are lab made under demanding conditions by Charles and Colvard. Moissanites shadow real diamonds in lots of ways. The rating of a moissanite is just under that of a diamond at 9.25. The hardness of a stone is 10. The luster and beauty of moissanite often exceeds that of a diamond. Moissanites would be considered as an SI quality stone, called "eye clean" to jewelers.It is their similarity to diamonds that sometimes makes moissanites and diamonds difficult to separate, even to experienced jewelers.

    It's very difficult for some dealers to share with the difference between a moissanite and an actual diamond. It seems that the thermal test many dealers used that could let them know whether or not a stone is definitely an actual diamond doesn't assist a moissanite stone, which has a higher temperature rating than a diamond. At a of 1100 degrees celsius a stone could eventually vaporize. A moissanite may remain intact. Some dealers have a tool that's called a "moissanite probe" that they could use when wanting to identify a moissanite from a stone or a CZ. There's also a refraction that a moissanite has that distinguishes it from other stones.

    Charles and Colvard will be the only manufacturers and patent cases of moissanite stones. They jewelry downtown san diego sell to distinctive dealers which are listed on their web web site, and any jeweler was not allowed by them to sell moissanite as loose rocks. Moissanites aren't measured in carats but in millimeters. A moissanite stone about one carat in weight would sell for about $525. That's a significant savings over a one carat diamond which will sell for approximately $6,500. A 4 carat moissanite tennis bracelet sells for about $1,800. while a carat SI diamond tennis bracelet sells for around $2,500.00. The most effective part is that nobody will ever know it's not just a diamond, if you don't choose to inform them.
