Moissanite is one of the better stones out there, and definitely more brilliant than diamond. Diamonds also have the problem now of Russian lab grown diamonds flooding the market and even the best experts have trouble telling the difference. They controlled the supply very carefully for years but I agree, gold is better. Much harder to grow in a lab!
What kind of jewelry are you looking to make?
nothing planned for these tiny stones yet but I also got some bigger stones that I want to make rings with
