I just don't want them in the fine jewelry I make. I feel they cheapen it. There is no real value in synthetics. If there is some deep sentimental attachment to something, I'll make an exception occasionally but usually the only reason someone walks in with a synthetic for me to set is that they don't want to spend the money on a natural stone. And that's just not the kind of jeweler I am.

Is the hardness of moissanite pretty good? Yes. But I don't think you should put synthetics into any fine jewelry.

I know it's a simulant, but it's listed at 9-9.5 on the Mohs scale, and it comes in pretty green hues, which corundum, alas, does not.Rourke Douglas Deckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03046133770821794200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5590775563993110893.post-51498251766686998872017-04-24T16:55:35.946-04:002017-04-24T16:55:35.946-04:00Great article!
