This pretty, shimmery cuff also accompanied me on my latest trip

I just received a 5 stone moissanite band from Doveggs via Amazon. Packaging was great! Not only was the jewelry box it came in was nice, but there was a silver polishing cloth, certificate card, plastic sizing rings, and a ring sizer. Estimated diamond cttw is 1.25. I was a little worried it would be too big, but I love the size and even more so than the 7 stone moissanite band I received a couple weeks ago.



I am hinting at my husband to get me the diamond version next year since we will have been (officially) together for 10 years.

Here is how it compares to the 7 stone. I do still like the 7 stone, but after a couple days I felt it was a little too small and reminded me of too much like an eternity band:



I also just bought this elongated antique cushion moissanite from Starsgem! GH color and only $64. This will be my first “big” stone. I put this in quotes because I don’t think it’s considered big to PSers (9x7mm), but it’ll be huge to me! I was planning to make this into a pendant but now I kinda want to make it into a cocktail RHR. I’ll have to see once I get it…

I bought a bezeled moissanite eternity band from Kuolit, a vendor from Aliexpress to try. I’m pretty impressed with it so far. It’s very comfortable to wear. I’m pretty sure it’s 2mm wide, stones are well cut and sparkly.
It arrived in a pretty round velvet box and shipping was approximately a month to Australia.

A rubber band would look good on your hands. Long, beautiful fingers . .. oh my.

Thank you!!! I’m actually self conscious of my “spindly” fingers, but I appreciate the kind words

Posting for reference purposes. I received my 5 stone lab diamond band from Starsgem yesterday and it is gorgeous! Here it is next to my Doveggs moissanite band. IRL the differences are minimal; the only difference I can see between the two is that the moissanites are more rainbow-y, which I love! I can only see the crisp depth of the diamonds if I zoom in with my phone camera.

I highly recommend the Doveggs 5 stone band from Amazon if you want a similar look for way less.

I decided to use my Tianyu OEC moissanite on an existing pendant and I LOVE it! Originally the pendant setting held a different moissanite that was slightly smaller; this current one has presence!



Before:



After:



You might not be able to tell in the before pic, but the first jeweler did a very poor job of setting the first moissanite. The prongs were crooked and it was just very unrefined. My current jeweler was able to not only accommodate a larger stone but also refine the prongs to make them look more even.

There were a lot of ugly mistakes, but here are the okay ones lol

My moissanite stud earrings. I love my moissy pendent so much to I ordered nickel free silver studs. 1 carat each. I love them. I hope I’m not going to ever regret spending so much on my genuine stone collection.

i find the easiest way to take a photo of earrings is to position your self in front of a mirror and do some cropping

I didn't like the lab ruby above in person enough to keep it so I sent it back. But now I've ordered the one below from the same vendor (Evan Grant Fine Gems on Etsy). It looks like it's a brighter red. It is 4.7 carats, 10mm:

A few pieces at once! Literally can't take a good picture to save my life. But I tried!
Moissanite band a birthday present from my lovely dad. Supposedly nickle free patterned band. Had it for awhile. It's lovely in stacks or alone.

Moissanite tennis bracelet in sterling and plating I got this year as a combined anniversary and birthday present from my amazing husband.
And the 3 station necklace I recycled an old chain and synthetic opal bracelet parts from a bracelet I couldn't wear at all due to it being itchy and uncomfortable from how it was originally assembled since apparently I'm terribly delicate lol. So i took it apart to use the opals in something else at a later date since they are perfectly good! There were many curse words uttered while I was trying to attach o rings xD Eventually I will probably have them more professionally attached and everything given a thick plating of rhodium so i can wear it more safely but it all works for now! Eventually I will probably add two more stations and use the rest of the leftover synthetic opals for a bracelet but not just yet.

Not pictured are 2 carat moissanite studs I also got from my husband but I think they might honestly be too big for my ears. They cover almost the whole lobe and sag a lot. But they're just for super special occasions anyway since they are silver and plate. So I'm going to keep them since they are so pretty!

you can get those big (i think with a big plastic disk) earrings backs to stop sagging

Yes! I actually have some large size round silicone backings I was using because the metal ones hurt me. The 2 carat pair (1 carat per side) earrings are just so large they still sag after an hour or two. They work perfectly though with the 1 carat (half carat each side) moissanite set. Eventually I'll probably grab a second set and have them well rhodium plated and show them here at that point.

 

[seaurchin]

It's here. I like it. It's brighter than shown in some lights.

 

[YadaYadaYada]

It’s such a pretty color @seaurchin!

I’ve recently fallen down a moissanite rabbit hole and it’s lots of fun!
I’ve got an 8mm Kuololit jubilee cut in a semi-collet which I'm loving. The jubilee pattern is a delight and stacks brilliantly with my engagement ring, allowing me to achieve the illusion of a toi et moi.

I’ve also just received a 9mm vintage-ish asscher. I might not be a step cut girl at heart but I’m enjoying getting to know this stone.




And then the most extra stack of all (but it kinda works right?)


It might be hard to buy diamonds again given how accessible and sparkly these moissanite are. I can get the kind of size that’s otherwise unaffordable.

Gorgeous!! I have a few moissanite pieces from Kuololit too and for the price they are so well made. I’ve only order their standard items in sterling silver.
Are your rings special orders, I haven’t seen those speciality cuts on their shop site before?

The jubilee cut is stock but set in a bubble band setting which wasn’t what I wanted. So I looked at their other 8mm stock rings and asked if they could swap the jubilee cut into this one because I figured it would likely fit. And it did!
The asscher is a Provence group buy off the Provence Facebook group. That group buy has since closed.
I haven’t seen it listed in their store but they did show the three type of asschers they do in an IG post so it’s definitely something they can do. The moissanite subreddit has become a favourite daily visit (oops).

Moissanite Company house brand 6.5mm colorless OEC in ring composed of Stuller illusion head and a step shank that are still in current catalogs.
Other ring is a Tiffany knife edge replica from Amerian Set on ebay, purchased in 2008 or so. The stone in it is an old 2005ish moissanite 7.5mm round brilliant with the large table, flat crown, and slightly yellowish/greenish tint typical of that era, but it's beautifully cut and throws broad flashes of fire. Both rings are unplated 14k white gold. I use them as work rings in places where I won't take my diamonds.

That OEC is gorgeous!
