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.
Say it again for the people in the back!
