That might seem a silly distinction to some, but it means a great deal (at least with regard to e-rings) for most women. At least don't get her a moissanite without telling her it's not a diamond.

TheDiamondangel Cut Rock Total Posts: 239 Last Post: 10/6/2005 Member Since: 3/12/2003	An ideal cut .33 round, G color and SI1 clarity with a cert, should cost you about $594 American, or about $816.43 Canadian; an H .33 SI1 = $544.50 American, or $748.40 Canadian. Is the price of $900 including the setting? Is the stone a branded or certified stone? TheDiamondangel winkjones.com

StevL Ideal Rock Total Posts: 591 Last Post: 12/11/2007 Member Since: 1/1/2000	Moissonite: Double Refractive About 9 to 9.5 hardness Many times exhibits a slight greenish tint Man Made One company producing the product (to my knowledge) My opinion is they are over priced Diamond: Single Refraction Hardness 10 Colorless to most any color you desire Natural (Created can be bought) Mined in many places Expensive but the prices has always been supported First thoughts, we could get a little more detailed if you like. Cheers, Steve
