Is this a diamond or moissanite ring? What do you think?

@elizat, I started by posting about my pet bunny and went from there, it seemed safe, who is going to say "take your stupid bunny pictures and get out". LOL!
 
I normally don't say anything because I don't want to get dragged into drama but this is ridiculous, especially one comment in particular to the effect of "now that you've wasted our time do you feel better know?" maybe not the exact words but close and that comment was edited but she probably still saw it. Hateful and nasty and totally uncalled for. I just don't understand it.

Just re-read my post, I didn't mean to infer that I think you're a net nanny LOL! I admire you for speaking up. I hesitate to do so these days, just don't want to be put in a position where I could be criticized for voicing my opinion. It's happened to me in the past. I agree with your posts.

@Evangeline77, Your ring is beautiful!

Maybe this is why new users don’t continue to post or are even too scared to ask a question. How much time out of your day was really wasted by replying if it was a moissy or a diamond? OP just had some concerns and wanted to know if anybody could discern the difference without any prior information. Yes, she could have divulged some info so that we could make a proper assessment but is it really that big of a deal that she needs to be bullied?

@Evangeline77, it’s a beautiful ring. I hope you come back and share some more pictures and stats.


Some users here can be major dicks. I honestly don't recall people being this rude back in the day, and I'm an old timer with little patience. Covid-stress, maybe?
 
Yes, agree.

There is another forum with the name of bee in it that I sometimes view as an unregistered user and if you come from that forum, it's a very different tone for jewelry. People here want the stats, details and generally have a very different view point on stones and jewelry than they do on that site, even though I know there are some cross users. Posts like guess the carat weight or stats or does this look real or fake probably aren't going to be received like they would there- but each forum has a different tone, that's all.

Plus one for a post on your ring in the SMTB section!

Yes this. I wanted to say something similar. I just didn't know how without it sounding snarky. Both PS and the Bee are great. They just have different board cultures if you will. They love guessing games like that over there for sure I agree.

@Evangeline77 Welcome to PS. We would love to hear more about your shiney! You can make a new thread and or post it in any appropriate Show me type threads. We love seeing people's stuff and hearing all about it :)
 
Sorry, my initial response was cross because I dont feel like "guessing game" posts are helpful. If OP knows what a stone is and has concerns, then we can help. But asking us to guess is a recipie for being disappointed, IMHO.
 
@junebug17, no worries I didn't take it that way at all!

I saw, it made me laugh to be honest. I was like yeah I woke up yesterday and thought about all the ways all day I could waste his time and this is what I came up with :D I appreciate the nice comments by the way, but no worries, this is not my first rodeo on the internet lol
This was nothing compared to what goes down on the “bee” sometimes. Doxxing and all

I just want to say I want to see more of your stupid bunny pictures =)2 Bunnies are awesome!

And OP, I really like your ER setting.
 
Sorry for the threadjack @Evangeline77!

@kgizo, here are the Bunbun threads, we sadly had to put her to sleep last year due to illness but she was a sweetheart.


 
Welcome,welcome, welcome!
It took me years to actually post because I am just a lowly magpie CS (colored stone) collector with an anemic jewelry collection. I didn't think I could hang.
I can happily say I was totally wrong about that.;))
It's just that they rightly know that this is where you come for expertise/help you can't get anywhere else and they take it seriously. They have a job to do:lol:
You have a beautiful rock and we would love for you to show it off. We are also super greedy and want all the pics. All the pics! SO, come on in, the water's fine.
 
Well I just read and I was guessing diamond but some moissy are now cut hearts and arrows so it’s hard to tell. Welcome and beautiful ring!
 
I just checked back and saw it’s a diamond, which confirms that I will forever be in love with both beautiful stones!
 
Thank you, I appreciate your comment! I actually tried deleting my post but I couldn’t figure out how to do that on my phone. But then again we are on the internet, this happens everywhere. I’ve seen much worse, so I wasn’t too bothered, I just figured I’m obviously on the wrong forum if others get annoyed with me this easily lol

Your ring is so beautiful
Im glad you posted

Im just here for the pictures ;)2

Thank you guys! :) Next time I'll keep my guessing games for the bee :D Here are a few bonus photos lol It's a 1.71 ct, 3Ex, SI1 and G in color. Now I'm thinking I should have gone with D-E, but my pear is an E and a VG cut only, so it reflects light in a TOTALLY different way (that's what I was used to seeing)FullSizeRender-7.jpegFullSizeRender-8.jpegFullSizeRender-6.jpegFullSizeRender-4.jpeg
 
It’s lovely! Perfect size for your pretty hand! Love the setting too! Great choices!

Wow beautiful! Your pictures of it are gorgeous! It looks perfect on your hand :D
 
I think your ring is lovely. I like the G color but I'm a G-H gal myself so it looks great to me. Welcome to PS. :wavey:

Now that you've been properly complimented and welcomed....lets get down to business. Please post pics of your pear as well. :D
 
The G color looks great, and the size is perfect.
 
It’s time for that SMTB thread showcasing all your beauts! We wait patiently (read impatiently!) Welcome to the fold!

haha the pear is much more modest. It's a 0.8ct pear halo. I'm still in the beginning of my (what looks like is going to be a long journey) with diamonds. I'm slowly creeping towards bigger and better :D I'm in love with how white it looks sometimes, but as you can see there is not a whole lot of fire.IMG_7764.jpegIMG_7198.jpeg
 
@Evangeline77 I love your beautiful pear diamond ring too! See! You are one of us! Welcome to your place!
