Is moissanite a real gemstone?

Honestly, it depends on a few things. I ordered from Tiffany online. Short answer: no. I switched after a few months and never looked back. The upkeep was not worth it.

I asked my jeweler the same thing. He said it is safe for daily wear as long as you avoid harsh chemicals.

This is one of the most common questions I see here.

Step by Step

1. Confirm the stamp or certificate before buying
2. Check the return policy on the listing
3. Order a size slightly larger if unsure
4. Clean with warm water, dish soap, and a soft toothbrush
5. Store separately to avoid scratches

I followed these steps and have had zero issues. Hope this helps.

Here is my honest take after owning one.

What I Noticed

The sparkle is actually more brilliant than a diamond in my opinion, especially under indoor lighting. Up close, nobody has ever guessed it was not a natural stone.

Cost

I paid $3,000 including the setting. A comparable natural diamond would have been at least five times that. The price difference is the main reason most people go this route.

Durability

It is still going strong after two years. I clean it once a month with warm soapy water and a soft brush. No scratches, no cloudiness.

Who This Is For

• Great if you want maximum sparkle on a budget
• Great if you do not care about resale value
• Skip it if you want something that holds investment value

I went through this exact decision last year. My jeweler recommended Charles & Colvard. Save your money. The difference is noticeable but not worth the premium for most people.
