I just received a 5 stone moissanite band from Doveggs via Amazon. Packaging was great! Not only was the jewelry box it came in was nice, but there was a silver polishing cloth, certificate card, plastic sizing rings, and a ring sizer. Estimated diamond cttw is 1.25. I was a little worried it would be too big, but I love the size and even more so than the 7 stone moissanite band I received a couple weeks ago.
I am hinting at my husband to get me the diamond version next year since we will have been (officially) together for 10 years.
Here is how it compares to the 7 stone. I do still like the 7 stone, but after a couple days I felt it was a little too small and reminded me of too much like an eternity band:
I also just bought this elongated antique cushion moissanite from Starsgem! GH color and only $64. This will be my first “big” stone. I put this in quotes because I don’t think it’s considered big to PSers (9x7mm), but it’ll be huge to me! I was planning to make this into a pendant but now I kinda want to make it into a cocktail RHR. I’ll have to see once I get it…
Thank you!!! I’m actually self conscious of my “spindly” fingers, but I appreciate the kind words

I’ve been MIA for a year, but I haven’t stopped enjoying jewelry.
There were a lot of ugly mistakes, but here are the okay ones lol
My moissanite stud earrings. I love my moissy pendent so much to I ordered nickel free silver studs. 1 carat each. I love them. I hope I’m not going to ever regret spending so much on my genuine stone collection.
Just ordered this 4 carat lab ruby from Evan Grant Fine Gems on Etsy.
4.0 Ct Lab grown ruby precision cut oval loose gemstoneTransaction ID: 3579610845
Quantity: 1
Returns and exchanges accepted within 30 days of delivery$336.30
I didn't like the lab ruby above in person enough to keep it so I sent it back. But now I've ordered the one below from the same vendor (Evan Grant Fine Gems on Etsy). It looks like it's a brighter red. It is 4.7 carats, 10mm:
A few pieces at once! Literally can't take a good picture to save my life. But I tried!
Moissanite band a birthday present from my lovely dad. Supposedly nickle free patterned band. Had it for awhile. It's lovely in stacks or alone.
Moissanite tennis bracelet in sterling and plating I got this year as a combined anniversary and birthday present from my amazing husband.
And the 3 station necklace I recycled an old chain and synthetic opal bracelet parts from a bracelet I couldn't wear at all due to it being itchy and uncomfortable from how it was originally assembled since apparently I'm terribly delicate lol. So i took it apart to use the opals in something else at a later date since they are perfectly good! There were many curse words uttered while I was trying to attach o rings xD Eventually I will probably have them more professionally attached and everything given a thick plating of rhodium so i can wear it more safely but it all works for now! Eventually I will probably add two more stations and use the rest of the leftover synthetic opals for a bracelet but not just yet.
Not pictured are 2 carat moissanite studs I also got from my husband but I think they might honestly be too big for my ears. They cover almost the whole lobe and sag a lot. But they're just for super special occasions anyway since they are silver and plate. So I'm going to keep them since they are so pretty!

I’ve recently fallen down a moissanite rabbit hole and it’s lots of fun!
I’ve got an 8mm Kuololit jubilee cut in a semi-collet which I'm loving. The jubilee pattern is a delight and stacks brilliantly with my engagement ring, allowing me to achieve the illusion of a toi et moi.
I’ve also just received a 9mm vintage-ish asscher. I might not be a step cut girl at heart but I’m enjoying getting to know this stone.
And then the most extra stack of all (but it kinda works right?)
It might be hard to buy diamonds again given how accessible and sparkly these moissanite are. I can get the kind of size that’s otherwise unaffordable.
Moissanite Company house brand 6.5mm colorless OEC in ring composed of Stuller illusion head and a step shank that are still in current catalogs.
Other ring is a Tiffany knife edge replica from Amerian Set on ebay, purchased in 2008 or so. The stone in it is an old 2005ish moissanite 7.5mm round brilliant with the large table, flat crown, and slightly yellowish/greenish tint typical of that era, but it's beautifully cut and throws broad flashes of fire. Both rings are unplated 14k white gold. I use them as work rings in places where I won't take my diamonds.
This is the 8mm transitional that impressed me.
