Possibly a good time to plug moissanite again: http://diamondssuck.com http://diamondssuck.com

  Odd. The arguments all make sense, but the prices I am seeing are nowhere near the quoted ones. Have the prices on moissanite jewelry been jacked up since this site was created or something?

    There's a wide range of prices. More often than not, you'll end up buying one that is custom made in an American lab, so it might not be exactly cheap, though it is cheaper than an equivalent diamond. We bought moissanite because I absolutely refuse to support the diamond industry in any way. For what its worth, friends of our who are obsessed with image can't tell the difference.

      Is the sting in the tale (sic) that DeBeers (or its major shareholders) owns the moissanite company/production/patents and created the competition to secure both sides of the market?

        Moissanite is largely (completely?) controlled by Charles & Covard, at least in the US. I don't see anything online indicating any crossover with DeBeers.
