Moissanite is a fake diamond. However, it is a good quality-made fake.
My opinion is that if you do not want a real diamond (or if it does not matter to you) then this is an excellent choice if you do not want to go down the road of a semi-precious stone.

Personally i don't get it. They are supposed to have a higher sparkle than a diamond (and they do) and are relatively just as hard.
But if I was going for a fake I would just do a high end CZ or something like a white sapphire if colored stones aren't your thing.
If you are replacing later with real why spend so much extra for the fake?
If you aren't a white sapphire has more value than moissanite for a cheaper price.

I think it's actually kinda cool, but then again, I'm a rock geek. It actually does exist as a natural mineral, but is very rare, only in meteorites. The gems are grown in the lab, like many other gems you see in the store actually. I just think they have an interesting history and they do sparkle a lot! Don't get me wrong, I like diamonds too, but in my opinion moissanite is just fine for engagement rings or any other jewelry for that matter.

I would rather have a tiny real diamond than a large fake diamond.
I have a .45 carat diamond and I love it. It's small, but not too small. No one thinks it's fake and I always get compliments on it's "sparkliness".

Better to go with a cz than a moissanite.
You can get diamonds and gold for a few hundred dollars -

I'd rather have a real gemstone than a fake diamond but that is my opinion.. they are pretty.. fakes are usually pretty b/c they lack flaws..

it's what you like and can afford. should be what ever you like.
either way the ring shows theoutsied world how big your love is, so if you want big... go for it.

sure, go ahead. no, i didnt mean that. fake diamonds are great for any jewelry at all except for engagement and wedding rings. there is no comparison to a real diamond in an engagement ring. but other than that, do as you wish.
