My husband and I were hesitant to order such an important purchase, my wedding band and engagement ring, We are mindful of the conflict and suffering brought about through the mining of diamonds so it was important to us to choose a conflict-free stone. I had never heard of moissanite until I stumbled upon this company. I read all about it on this website as well as did a thorough search on the web. It seemed that I could have my cake and eat it too...have a conflict-free wedding band and engagement ring that is still just as beautiful, durable, and sparkly as a diamond. I've now worn the scalloped milgrain set for over 2 weeks, and everyone is fooled. They are shocked when I tell them where I got it and what it is. It is breath-taking and definitely catches the light just like a diamond.
