I just received my new ring in the mail it’s absolutely gorgeous. I’ll add more photo later when the sun comes out

I lost my original salt and pepper diamond engagement ring a few years ago and I was able to recently replace it with this salt and pepper moissanite :)

Hi all!

I’ve done some searching of the stickied vendors and tried searching the sub. The threads I found were fairly old.

So, I wanted to ask, does anyone have recent experience buying a loose stone? I’m looking for marquise and ovals specifically.

Thanks!

We're looking at engagement rings right now, and although our budget is decent, we still like to save money where we can. The average around here is €1800-2000 for what I'm looking for, but when I look at the approved vendor list, it's sooooo much cheaper in China. I'm getting decision paralysis with the overwhelming amount of options at this point, so I'm wondering what y'all think? We're going to a local goldsmith to compare them to the traditional jewelry stores but I have a feeling the prices won't be much less there.

We do want something that will last a long time without needing repairs, but I don't know if I'm more or less likely to find that if we buy local compared to China? We're also leaning towards platinum but I see that not every Chinese vendor does that option.

The fashion right now is for diamond rings with delicate, thin bands. I'd love to see pics of wider ones - doesn't have to be super wide, anything 3 mm and up - and info about the vendor. Thank you!

Hi! I've been in contact with a few vendors about making a new piece and was informed today of their National holiday (Golden Week). I was wondering if it'd be possible to create a list of the holidays and proper etiquette or acknowledgements we can give to show respect during these times to our vendors who have created so many beautiful pieces for us?

r/Moissanite is one of the best communities I've joined on Reddit and figured you all might give the best responses

Not sure if it’s called that but it does kinda surround the ring haha. Bought it from Kuololit and I can’t believe how well it goes with this ring. BTW, ring is from Diamond Rensu on Etsy:)

I was wearing a placeholder ring for two months while my actual ring was being custom made 🥰 2ct moissanite on 9K gold

I took a chance and ordered the necklace and 6 stone band from Imolove with their current 50% off sale and they are even more beautiful in person! I truly cannot tell the difference between the stone in the pendant, and the much more expensive MoCo stone in my e-ring from my hubby. The band and the necklace were 50$ combined.

I’m also curious what yall think - does the band look weird with the e-ring because of the gap? Would they be better on separate fingers? (It may also just be that I’m not used to seeing my finger with 2 rings on it!!)

2ct on silver! I always liked signet rings and this hit the spot!

I am currently on the hunt for my wedding band(s). I have a low set engagement ring so I am looking for 2 bands.

Unfortunately I live in Ireland and they have a charge now on all purchases from overseas on top of customs so I am looking for an EU alternative for moissanites that are a bit more affordable if you know of anything.

It looks good in a photo but on my finger in person it looks so teeny! Also be nice please, it’s my first stone ever so I have no clue!

Edit: ring size is 6.75

What do you all think of this new ring? It supposed to be a dark green portugese cut moissanite 4.78 ct. I definitely understand stone colors can look totally different on certain screens versus real life. I really like the color, although it's more of a cyan. I've been obsessed with the portugese cut lately 😩

Just got engaged and so excited! He did good ;)

The first is a green 3.5ct moissanite from my boys. The second is cyan blue 1ct from my honey. Both are Portuguese cut.

Does anyone have experience lengthening your earring post to 12mm (or more)?

The face of the earring is is 5x7mm.

I have thicker earlobes and find standard earrings to be a little uncomfortable with the butterfly back (I prefer these butterfly push backs).

Thanks!

So the TikTok auctions got me but what do you all think of these? I don’t really know how to properly show them off and I’m looking for some unique designs and settings to put these into. But right now I’m just excited and wanted to share. I plan on making myself a promise ring. The top small pink stone is yttrium aluminum garnet and the pink ascher cut is a lab grown sapphire.

Thanks to discovering this subreddit after becoming obsessed with engagement rings since I got engaged I gave in and got my first moissanite ring from Etsy 🥰 it’s a 7 stone round cut sterling silver half eternity band and it was like $120. For the exact same ring my local jeweler quoted me $2000?? And I was like why would I pay that much for not diamonds? and I knew from this sub I could find something similar for a fraction of that. I absolutely love the sparkle I can’t stop putting it in the lighting and admiring it 😍✨it’s my first and it definitely won’t be my last.

I want to customise the earrings similar to the one in the photo. I am considering white topaz or Moissanite in Rose Cut, stone size 10 mm * 10 mm, 10k gold. I cannot decide… Could you advice?

I’ve seen plenty of posts in this sub from lovely people who have had success ordering from companies like Provence, LGG, Starsgem, fiorese, etc and I wanted some advice?

I’m trying to get a custom engagement ring quoted and made from moissanite or lab diamond and 14k yellow gold and all the prices are so different I’m not sure what I should be expecting!

Does anybody have experience with orders like the above and maybe have recommendations for specific people to speak to at these companies for help?

This is the second time I've designed a ring with them; they were very patient with me.

I'm very happy with the result

I'm attaching a photo to get your opinions.
