@PERFECTDIAMONDSTAR - Firstly, Diamonds are far from rare. Secondly, do you know that a number of companies are making synthetic man-made diamonds (not simulants/substitutes like Cubic Zirconia)? Whilst they're struggling to make diamonds above 1 carat and none of them are close to perfecting colourless diamonds in quantity, it's only a matter of time before there's mass production (50-100 years most likely). I wonder how good an investment Diamond will be then??!!
@GIA13615093 Diamonds can also be man-made. The only difference between a synthetic diamond and a mined one is that the synthetic one is too perfect. They also know how to produce inclusions and imperfections now - meaning there is no difference at all. The value of diamonds is made-up. Uniqueness doesn't equal value. No one pays $25,000 for a one-of-a-kind petrified tree branch.
@sanyozing Moiss. isn't fake just because it is white and not a diamond. That is like saying white sapphire is fake. Moissy's a beautiful in their own right, and the vast majority of women who own them don't pass them off as diamond. The visual properties between the two are much too different for moiss. to be a diamond substitute.
De Beers created Blood Diamond Myth Because Local Black Africans where trying undercut the Prices of De Beers ,, Jeez its is their own Backyard in Africa , to say that this Tribe or that tribe dont have Diamond mines, and to say its conflict Blood or whatever , wouldnt you be arming your people if their was Diamonds below your feet , so CHina or other countries wouldnt go in and take over
@PERFECTDIAMONDSTAR That doesn't make them rare; it makes them buried. There are plenty of CHEAP minerals that are much deeper and harder to dig up. Rarity comes from there not being a lot of something... and there are PLENTY of diamonds around. Far, far more than you think. Again - a cupful for every man, woman and child in all of Africa. There isn't even that amount of moissanite yet!
@taicleis Moissanite stones are man made, therefore can be mass produced and therefore has no investment value & you can't call something that is man made rare! Even if you say they are limited edition well all diamonds are UNIQUE~no two are alike & that makes each of them rare.
@GIA13615093 diamonds are a terrible investment. They are sold to customers at a 200-300% markup. Do you really think any jeweler is going to buy them back for more than that lol? OR, admit to you that the stone you bought isn't really worth what they had you pay for it??
Good looking diamonds are so rare and expensive that they're barely worth it. You can usually tell a diamond from a cz because the diamond will typically be whitish or yellow and cloudier. I've met ladies who prefer to wear their fake cz engagement rings over their real diamond ones because the real set looks a bit shabby compared to the imitation.
You can find CZ in any color and yellow tone like cape diamond serie. The CZ is nearly twice the density of a diamond that make them easy to spot (loose stones). I do not agree much about the yellow and cloudier diamonds. You can find anything in Diamond but a D color and any VS-VVS-IF & F will not show any cloudy looking if they are well cut. I have to agree with you that most of the diamond on the market today are just badly cut and bad looking of course, better use a CZ!
Moissanite can be found in nature but it is opaque and rough can't be used as gems material. Today the Moissanite have been synthetized and it is before all Man MADE and it is not natural. For CZ, china are making tones of this material everyday and it become to be the most commun imitation for diamond. A 1 carat CZ in the trade won't cost more than 1 $US and for a Moissanite 100$US and a perfect diamond is 20000$US.
I wouldn't really consider moissanite a 'diamond simulant'. Moissanite is it's own form of precious stone, brighter than diamonds and with more fire. The only reason it isn't as expensive is because De Beers doesn't create an artificial scarcity of it, like they do with diamond.
If tomorrow, all of the world's diamond tycoons changes their supply numbers to actually reflect how many diamonds thy really have, diamonds would be around the same price as moissanite - and not as bright or perfect.
@taicleis Nope, sorry but that is wrong. A diamond has a higher refractive index, meaning it is "brighter," an excellent diamond with good clarity (VS2+) and Good Color (G+), will shine beautifully and breathtakingly.
@taicleis Moissanite is cheap bcoz it is man made and can be mass-produced while diamonds took 3.3 billion years for Mother Nature to create which makes it limited & rare. You people kept saying diamonds are not rare but how can Moissanite be rare when they are made in a factory & can be as common as money or rocks in the road? And don't call all diamonds blood or evil bcoz Canadian, Russian & Brazilian diamonds are as good as it gets.
Diamonds are not rare. There is enough diamond around for every man, woman and child in Africa to have a cup full of them. Ruby is much more rare. A top-quality ruby would be worth more than twice what diamond of the same carat would.
The 'rarity' comes from people who mine the diamonds hoarding them all, hiding them, lying about how many they have, and creating an artificial scarcity. Look up 'artificial scarcity'.
Moissanite is more beautiful, and not priced on lies.
@taiclei really? y would I believe you? u haven't been inside the mine and haven't been in the diamond trade to say there are a cupful of diamonds for every human beings on this planet! so you're into blood Burmese rubies? even in just small scale mining Myanmar alrwady exported tons and tons of rubies how much more if big mines will start? Just look how few diamonds those small scale miners get and comapred it to the amoung to rubies from small scale mine. Wait till Moissanite is mass produced!
I'm not telling you to believe anything. Do your own research. I already told you what to search for. It's just a fact. Diamonds are not rare, they are not worth anywhere near what people charge for them, and the diamond industry is an industry of lies and exploitation. Has nothing to do with blood diamonds. It's about artificial scarcity.
@taicleis to say that diamonds are not rare is a lie. it takes tons and tons of earth to find a 1 ct diamond rough. if it is not rare then start looking for them in your own backyard.
Great video but ridiculously loud. Could barely understand what you were saying.

Afraid you're the one who is wrong. Diamond's refractive index is 2.42. Moissanite is 2.65.
Moissanite also has much, much more fire than diamond.
