    My wife’s engagement ring is Moissanite and she absolutely loves it - more brilliant than a “real” diamond, and a tiny fraction of the cost

    Status symbols are dumb to start with, but spending 10’s of thousands on a diamond ring that is functionally identical (or even inferior) to a lab diamond or Moissanite ring is completely idiotic

      Today was the first time I’m hearing of Moissanite as a standalone thing(my search queries were just ‘lab-grown diamond’ and ‘cultured diamond’), but definitely a good alternative, I’d say! The brilliance looks ridiculous in the shots I saw.
