How much does moissanite cost? What is the difference between domestic moissanite and American moissanite?

Although moissanite is not a real diamond, it is also very precious. Moissanite is a gem close to natural diamond and is very rare. Many moissanite diamonds have the phenomenon of double images on facet edges.

The price of one carat of moissanite is only a few hundred to a thousand yuan, and it is basically D color and VVS clarity. The price of one carat of moissanite on the market is less than one thousand yuan, and some are sold for more than one thousand or two thousand yuan. This kind of artificial gem is too expensive and not worth buying. The price of a moissanite ring must also include the cost of the inlay material. For example, the cost of 18K gold may be higher than that of moissanite. The price of one carat of diamonds with poor quality and obvious flaws may be tens of thousands of yuan, and the price of one carat of good quality diamonds is tens of thousands of yuan. In comparison, moissanite is much cheaper, but the editor would like to remind everyone that moissanite is artificially synthesized and has no collection value, but it can still be worn as an ornament. After all, it won’t be too painful if it is lost! Mozambique diamonds and diamonds have different chemical elements. Mozambique diamonds are silicon carbide, and diamonds are carbon elements; Mozambique diamonds and diamonds have different refractions. Mozambique diamonds are double-refractive gems, and diamonds are single-refractive gems.

Moissanite is called Magic Star Diamond in Taiwan. It entered Taiwan many years earlier than the mainland and has a relatively mature market in Taiwan. Therefore, it was a group of Taiwanese who first brought American moissanite into the domestic market. American moissanite officially appeared on the Internet around 2011-2012. At that time, American moissanite was quite yellow. Please see the photo below, and the price was also very expensive. Faced with such a high purchase price, by 2013, domestic colleagues were trying to study moissanite crystals. The technology was not mature, and the results were even worse, yellower and more turbid than American products. In 2014, American Moissanite released the Black Card series of moissanite. Actually, the color did not improve at all and was still very yellow, but the price went up again (I despise the cunning Americans, the evil capitalists), but there is no way, who told you Chinese can't produce it yourself? You can only buy it from others at a high price... On the other hand, we hardworking Chinese are still working hard and vowing to catch up with the Americans... In 2015, good news came. The patent protection period of the technology of the American company producing moissanite expired and the technology was announced to the world. This year, the quality of domestic moissanite has been qualitatively improved, and the Americans began to be afraid... The picture below shows the appearance of domestic moissanite. Of course, it is still far from American moissanite.

In 2016, the United States launched the forever one series. The color of this series subverted all previous colors, very white, but the price also subverted the price of all previous series. The launch of this series widened the gap with domestic moissanite, but China is a nation that refuses to lag behind. In just two or three months, domestic moissanite that was very close to American products appeared on the market, and the price was much lower than that of American moissanite. However, since domestic moissanite had not yet established a brand in the minds of consumers, everyone still only recognized American brands. For a time, domestic moissanite was sold as American moissanite on the streets, and it was difficult for consumers to distinguish. For a time, domestic moissanite occupied 60% of the market share. At this time, domestic moissanite was still a little bit behind American moissanite. In 2017, the happy days came. The top-grade domestic moissanite reached the quality standard of American goods. Note that the premise is that it is top-grade. In the same year, the Americans bought moissanite crystals from the Chinese and cut them in China because the cost was much lower than in the United States (the Americans are shameless and fence-sitters). Then they sold them to Chinese agents at the same price. The agents sold them to retailers at a higher price, so the retail price of American moissanite in China is still ridiculously high. With the advantage of the same quality and lower price, the domestic market share of domestic moissanite rose to 90% at one time and has been maintained until now, and it has been exported to foreign countries. There should be applause here. This is simply a microcosm of China's economic take-off. However, the thing that cannot be ignored is that due to the entry of too many domestic manufacturers, many different grades of moissanite have appeared on the market, which can be said to be mixed, and most of them are sold with American brand packaging, which indirectly affects the long-term development of moissanite. So now you can see moissanite of various prices when you open a certain treasure.

I would like to recommend a Tmall brand to you: Qizhan Jewelry. This brand bravely fired the first shot and created the first truly domestically produced high-end moissanite brand. It has become a Chinese brand and strictly screened top-quality moissanite. Combined with extremely sophisticated craftsmanship, this brand has a "thousand-layer cake" production process that is second to none in the world. It can present different stripes on 18K gold, one layer and one color. The stripes of this process are not plated on the surface, but the metal itself is like this. The striped pattern will not fade, and the gold content can reach the 18K standard, that is to say, it is also made of 18K gold. American moissanite is being squeezed hard, and those who sell American products will certainly not give up. What should they do?? They finally came up with some unorthodox methods, so some voices slandering domestic moissanite quietly appeared on the Internet, saying that domestic moissanite is still very poor, and some are counterfeit with zircon, which is just coated with a layer of moissanite film, and will peel off after a period of time. What's more, some people say that domestic moissanite has radiation... It can cause cancer to the wearer and his family. Alas, they are really unscrupulous. Since they are all moissanite, their ingredients are the same, and their DNA is the same, how can one have radiation and the other not?

Moissanite is not a real diamond, but it is not a "fake" either. It is cultivated through two minerals, carbon and silicon, in a very strict environment. During the cultivation process, the risk is high, the time is long, and the yield is not high, so moissanite is also very precious. As the technology of moissanite becomes more and more mature, more and more scientific research institutions and countries have mastered moissanite, and the price of moissanite is much lower than that of diamond. Diamonds are expensive, and moissanite can meet your needs and is a very good substitute for diamonds. Moissanite is composed of natural minerals carbon and silicon. It is not artificially chemically synthesized, but naturally formed in a specific environment. It is difficult to distinguish between the naked eye and diamonds. Although it is not as transparent as diamonds, it has a high fire color and is called the most shining gem in the world.
