Geez the couple sites I found are still way more expensive that I expected! I’d love to see it in person, it looks way more sparkly

Yeah, even with a cheap stone, rings are still expensive.

I found my moissanite engagement ring on Etsy for a reasonable price, maybe check there? Lots of small time jewelers list their stuff on the site for really reasonable prices.

Oh wow, yeah those can be more in my range, I’ll have to learn the grading scale though 😅 thanks a lot!

Moissanite can become cloudy if you don’t clean it often. And the extra sparkle means people may judge you for having a “fake” ring. Like a polyester suit, people who know can tell by how bright it is.

Lab gems are relatively cheap and look exactly like the “real” ones. I mean exactly the same. People would only know it’s a lab diamond if you had a ring the size of Elizabeth Taylor’s at Applebee’s.

Rarecarat and Ritani have some good prices.
