Avoid Fakes on here. A REAL Lab Created Diamond is made in a lab by recreating exact temp/high pressures that occur in nature. Both=100% carbon & have SAME molecular structure. A HYBRID diamond is cheap crystal that has had Carbon infused on the OUTSIDE. Same as how you put silver plating over copper. This has a thin diamond “plating” or layer over the crystal. It‘ll test as a diamond on the outside ONLY. Hybrids are 8ish on MOHS. ALL DIAMONDS-including it’s twin; lab created diamond=10 MOHS.

missstephlee@loulie a lab diamond just means the whole diamond was grown in a lab but it’s still 100% diamond. Same idea of a Tulip grown in a greenhouse vs a one grown in the wild…both are tulips, just one was grown with help and intention instead of randomly somewhere.

missstephlee@loulie I would suggest to get it tested by a real Authenticator so you know what you have. If it is lab made then it’s just as good as a mined one, better even but if it’s got a crystal center than it’s not worth the same at all but it should look nice on the outside still as long as you got it at “fake” diamond prices.

missstephleeI’m willing to answer any questions even if you aren’t buying from me. I just hate seeing scammers scam and if I can help you make an informed decision I’m happy to share what I know. Hybrids are great if you’re buying a Hybrid. Similar to buying CZs. Hybrids SUCK when you *think* you’re buying a lab-created diamond. Just like CZs. If they’re advertising Lab Created look at the price...you’ll be spending more than a top quality Moissanite gem & about 30% less than a mined diamond.

dmgbling55129Will hybrids fool a less expensive diamond tester?

Oct 25Reply

missstephlee@dmgbling55129 yes, all testers as the outside layer is actual diamond, but it’s only a dusting over it so a thin layer. You would need to test the diamond as a whole such as by weighing how many carats it weighs.

missstephlee@dmgbling55129 There’s someone on here selling hybrids as “lab created” but of course has a 5ct as barely over $100 which is just ridiculous. A real lab created diamond is a real diamond throughout and an identical twin to mined diamonds. The price is about 1/3 leas bcz we can mass produce them faster than we can finding them in mines but a 5ct would be approx $15,000...no where near $100.

missstephlee@dmgbling55129 I get called out as lacking “posh ambassador” attitude when I try to alert anyone so I just hope this post educates those looking so they can spot the fakes right away. The ones looking over “reporting” when that I tried aren’t educated enough to know it’s fake unfortunately. If you’re paying less than $3,000 per carat, then it’s not real.

Oct 25Reply

dmgbling55129How much per carat is typical for a moissanite? And what is the largest ct you have seen?

Oct 26Reply

missstephlee@dmgbling55129 For a top quality D, VVS1 1 carat Moissanite it’s currently averaging a touch over $600. (Prices have gone up recently) A comparable quality mined diamond would be approx $5,000+.

missstephlee@dmgbling55129 I have a 10ct Emerald cut for sale and that’s the biggest I’ve seen in person 🤩. On the larger side I also have a 8ct, 6ct, 5ct. I have my own supply of Moissy gems that I have cut & inscribed with my trademark ensuring it’s held to my high quality standards. My old inventory didn’t have my trademark (only gemologists report serial #) but as of my last shipment going forward they’ll have Jewel Eternal on its girdle too 😁

Oct 26Reply

missstephlee@dmgbling55129 so I can supply and create any shape or size of Moissys ☺️

Oct 26Reply

dmgbling55129Do you make special orders from another person's moissy?

Oct 26Reply

missstephlee@dmgbling55129 If I have something that will work for them I don’t mind selling just setting but generally it would have to be worth my time money wise to pause my projects to work on a custom setting. My time just usually gets too pricey to justify it for the customer. What size & type are you looking for tho? If I can help I will :)

dmgbling55129Ever deal with ringjewel moissanites from india?

Oct 26Reply

dmgbling55129I have multiple sizes and shapes

Oct 26Reply

missstephlee@dmgbling55129 I haven’t heard of them but that’s not saying much. Since I have my own line of Moissanites now I don’t venture out of my own Moissy bubble much anymore.

missstephlee@gescobar1 Hi :) This is just an Informational post, nothing for sale. I do make jewelry and have several rings available for sale. I’ll tag you in one.

missstephlee@garnetowl Absolutely! I wish jewelry sales on here were held to some sort of standard in (truthful) descriptions. 🙈

kelliecooper856@missstephlee tag me too. I have a 3 carat solitaire oval, with 2 surrounding band, 5 stones per band so a total of 5 carats all together. And my husband’s tension set 1 carat per stone x 5, also 5 carats…is prettier than mine.! Go figure. 🙄 Approaching our 5th anniversary, I might like to upgrade mine. Thanks in advance for the “break” & education! 🫶🏼💐👏🏻

ruby0102@missstephlee So how does a diamonds weight tell you if it’s hybrid or lab?

Jul 28Reply

missstephlee@ruby0102 A hybrid is a CZ with a thin diamond layer on the outside, like an Easter egg dipped in dye. 1ct of Cubic Zirconia (CZ) weighs 2.6g/cm3, whereas diamond weighs 3.52g/cm3. If it had been a diamond throughout it would weigh more.

ruby0102@missstephlee thank you🌸🌸

loulieHI, thanks so much for this post! I purchased what was listed as a natural earth mined untreated diamond ring here on posh with a diamond report that says it's EGL from India signed by "Jane Doe." I thought the inspector's name was suspicious so I looked up the provided website and put the report number in and it pulled up as expected. I was still suspicious so I emailed EGL official with the certificate attached. They said it was not an EGL report. (continued)

Dec 27Reply

loulieIt was sent to posh for authentication and i just got it today and it was authenticated by posh. So, posh authenticated the diamond as described, a natural, earth mined, untreated diamond. Can I be sure it is as described, or could it actually be a moissanite or lab diamond and posh's diamond testers aren't able to tell the difference?

Dec 27Reply

missstephlee@loulie It’s coated with real diamond which is why the outside can be confirmed as real but the inside isn’t. It’s the same idea as when you plate a. Healer metal with gold over it; this is “plated” in diamond.

Jan 23Reply

missstephlee@loulie (sorry for typo above)...* it’s the same as when you plate a cheaper metal with gold over it
