HPHT diamonds on ebay for $$ and $$$?

You got a huge, lovely ring, a good end to the story.

I have bought several things from her, of course with the tester it tests as a Diamond. With the loupe no inclusion are seen, but would they be if it’s undergone the HPHT treatment which is the best treatment to do if you are going to clarity and color enhance a Diamond. I purchased 3 blue Diamonds and a citrine pendant. I had purchased before from a different seller in India who grossly lied about the size of the stones, so as I have gages and such since I have been a collector for many years he could not argue with photos. A white sapphire Will not test as a Diamond on my tester, nor will a sapphire. I have all sorts of stones from all over the word zultanites, padradscha sapphire, cherry red spinel, there’s a neon green stone that will change to orange but I can’t think of its name. Special Bonnie is still there she was kind and courteous to me and shipped items tog to save cost and sized my ring to a 4.75. My walls are navy blue and lighting is awful but I am pleased. For years Russia had a stranglehold on the market. That has changed. That’s why I think we are seeing this possible. Who cares if you like bling it last a while. You replace it if it doesn’t. I am dating a VIP and I wouldn’t dare let him spend the money this would cost for him to go to Tiffany’s. We can have fun9 doing other things.

As a jeweler of 40 years and expert on Moissanite let me tell you all something. These stones will fool most handheld Diamond testers but if you people think you are getting a Natural Mined 300k Diamond for $300 you are a fool. Just wear them, enjoy them. Fool other fools and be happy. Nobody will pay $200 to send them in and a Diamond scratch tester scratches these. So just pretend you are getting the best deal in the world, just don't try to sell them.

Ok- so it’s been a long time but I’m back, ok took the ring to first jeweler and they suspected it was moissy, mainly because of the silver setting but I picked the setting because I didn’t want to spend gold money on something I didn’t like. He couldn’t say conclusively with his tester so he told me I’d have to consult the gemologist for a fee. Fast fwd to 5wks ago took the ring to another jeweler to finally have setting adjusted and they tested with a high tech tester and kept getting an error reading, which the commented was really strange. One corner of the stone gave them a moissy reading so they told me it’s moissanite. I just don’t know. Believe me, for the price, I felt it was a decent deal for moissanite so I’m not attached to it being a diamond perse, it’s just in a gem and jewelry person, I can eyeball the difference between Iab and genuine stones. In addition I own diamond, moissanite and cz, a lot of it and it doesn’t look like any moissy or cz or white sapphire or danburite I own. It resembles most closely to diamond, thing is I don’t have a 4.5ct emerald cut natural diamond to compare it to so it’s hard to conclusively say. I was able to msg special Bonnie no problem, however I did go back to ask more questions and like you saw the store was gone. I did try messaging on the zee diamond site but got no response. I like sharing stories about my jewelry so it’s a lil frustrating not having a conclusive answer. I’m in love with the ring tho and been wearing as an wedding ring for over a year. I just had the head lowered and redipped and it still looks amazing. I’ve been thinking of making up a name for it and telling people it’s that. If I had to guess from the looks of it I would say they lucked up on a natural deposit of something akin to moissanite because the stone looks more genuine and glasslike to me than moissy usually does, the color and the clarity. I too originally saw SB on michaelas YT channel and I saw a few comments that people had taken their jewelry to their local jewelers and had been told they were diamonds. I purchased a few cheap ones and the quality was horrendous but I’m thrilled with the one I have that they called “rare” I hope you see this and I hope in some way it helps.

I bought five pieces mostly based on Michaela's reviewson youtube, and I was really disappointed by the quality of the three i got. One was a pear-shaped very yellowed pear shape with two lab cz stones on the side but they used a different picture in the description than what i got. the other was a very yellow princess shape and the other was a gray beautiful stone in a thin silver band that looked like mystic topaz. I think these stones are also treated with some sort of chemical on the surface level , similar to mystic topaz. I really don't know why they would sell subpar moissanite stones like this. I am going to probably return them but out of morbid curiosity want to send it in to the GIA and honestly, this would make a good story to follow. Special Bonnie Zee Diamonds has some guts for sure to be selling 1000 dollar rings on his personal website. The BBB should be informed . Anyone else know what's up with these stones?

why do the pieces look so bad compared to the moissanite being sold now? I have only bought Moissanite from Aliexpress and Amazon, and it is just way better, not yellow, more refraction and light play of colors. Are the piececs from Special Bonnie just old bad Moissanite stock? His old videos on youtube remind me of bad quality diamonds so I just don't know. They both look different from each other under a loupe. I also saw another seller selling like a 20 carat hpht treated orange brown diamond from Brazil and had ebay verifiy it under it's verified sellers listings that ebay does to authenticate an item. It looks just like special bonnie and eBay authenticated this fake looking stone in sterling silver as authentic hpht treated diamond. so weird.
