    Wait, wait! Lemme guess. “Exploitation of child labor, unsafe (ie. lethal) practices, and general corruption”, right?

      Yeah but also cut hardness shine fire brilliance etc etc. moissonite is objectively superior in every way.

      This site is about two very simple truths: (1) diamonds are an incredible rip-off, and (2) a little known naturally-occuring gemstone called moissanite is superior to diamonds in every essential way: cut, color, clarity, durability, fire, brilliance, and cost.

        When I proposed to my wife, I gave her the choice. Sure could have a diamond, or she could have a moissonite (which is sparklier) and we could pay off her car loan. She made the right choice.

          The engagement ring I gave to my wife had natural diamonds, but it belonged to my great-grandmother, so I felt it was ethical enough. I certainly wouldn’t have bought a new one that wasn’t synthetic.

      You forgot about the whole, hoard heaps and pretend they’re rare and we don’t have swimming pools worth in warehouses.
