Hi all, last week I posted a thread asking advice regarding saving up for a pair of 1.5cttw diamond studs.
I have a moissanite ring set (not my engagement ring, I bought this set after passing 2 important exams as a gift to me from me) and I wear these rings everyday with zero maintenance since 2 years, 24*7. These are not the higher quality F1moissanites either. They are the FB type. Today I was changing my earrings (diamond, Gia, excellent cut, D colour) I chanced to compare them side with my rings and other than the much whiter color of my studs (but since they are d color range they are supposed to be white) I didn't find anything extra in the sparkle factor between the moissanite and the studs.
So now I am a bit confused, why save up / spend so much for my dream diamond studs when I think the moissanite will look as pretty and hold up as well and will cost me a fraction of the actual diamonds. Further my studs will not be bought considering investment since diamonds lose 50% value once taken out of the show room. What do you guys think?
