(regarding a custom moissanite engagement ring)
Hi Beth,
I wanted to give you an update. Â I got engaged recently and my fiancee
absolutely loves the ring. Â There’s just one problem — her co-workers
are a little jealous! Â The moissanite is so sparkly and the ring looks
a little too good.
We decided to go to the mall to see what kind of wedding band would
look nice with it. Â In the first store we went to, the woman asked if
she could clean the ring. Â We said sure and we were both nervous that
somehow the woman would know it wasn’t diamond and would say something
but she didn’t say anything or seem suspicious. Â At the next store,
which even used to sell moissanite, the employee was taken aback when
he saw the ring and said “oh, wow!” Â He put a normal diamond wedding
band next to it, but it looked dull in comparison so he steered us
toward their most expensive wedding bands. Â We took the ring to
Tiffany’s and they asked us if it was a Tiffany Novo ring. Â The only
diamond ring we saw that could compare to the moissanite was an actual
Hearts on Fire. Â I guess it’s just the way they cut it. Â Nobody had
any idea that her ring was anything other than a very high quality
diamond ring.
We’re in the process of choosing a wedding band to go with it and
we’re planning on having either pink moissanite or pink sapphire in
it. . . .
