I'd love to hear about less expensive, reliable sources for moissanite. I'm thinking I might pick up a pair of earrings for my MIL. I have a docride pair set in 14kwg martinis and I'd like to get MIL a similar size.

Here are my earrings next to my ering (F/Ex/VS2). You can see that my moissy's are not as white close up, and neither are as well cut. This would bother me on a ring I had to look at all the time, but for earrings, I don't mind. They still sparkle like mad.

Those are pretty! I heard the DEF color are colorless. Mine appears mostly white but certain lights make it sparkle with colors. I’ve had recommendations from others who have ordered overseas (china) from sellers. Their stones are pretty good and well cut with customized settings. You’ll see those recommendations on reddit.

My stone that is about a 2 carat equivalent, was purchased from Charles & Colvard at least 10 years ago and I think even though the sparkle is amazing, the color on the newer stones is very much improved. I love that I can have a beautiful replacement when we travel around and I know that a CZ wouldn't be near as clear or have as much sparkle. I was tossing around getting an old european cut because from what I have seen, they are gorgeous.
 
I have a solitaire that was purchased online more than ten years ago. It doesn't sparkle like a diamond and has a milky slight green tinge. I really don't like it and haven't worn it much. It was a disappointing purchase for sure.

That’s what i’ve been reading about. The older moissanite stones vs the newer ones have a significant difference in clarity and colors. Was it a charles colvard stone you got?

Oh that’s another dream ring of mine: OEC! Yummy!
