i was almost convinced i dont mind moissanites but somehow on your video the real diamond is just so so much beautiful than the other two... wow
That's probably because he chose a lower grade on the moissanites - ie, the forever one ranks much higher than the one shown here, and comes in "excellent" cuts instead of "ideal".
Thank you for taking your time to make all of the videos
I would have preferred to see synthetic gems with "excellent" cut grade rather than idea, as those would have been better matched imo
Thank you so much for uploading it....I am not sure of the Amora and Moissanite (they probably are awesome) I watched the VDO more than once, I just could not take my eyes off the diamond - It flamed like the sun, throwing large arms of fire and light, I never have seen a diamond of this value and beauty. Thank you so much - it was a unique experience....Gosh it is beautiful.
Look pretty dang close to me considering the cost differences.
Thanks for the video. The diamond looked great
I would like some explanation as to why the diamond in this video looks noticeably better. Specially when both BTD and Moissanite Co claims to surpass diamond in terms of optical properties.
Is it the camera work or are they just lying?
The diamond in the video as others commented looks sharper, crisper while the other two looks cloudy.
Jeff Lau I think I figured it out. Been researching this all day, particularly the Amora gems from BTD (BetterThanDiamonds). The Amora Eternity gem is supposed to have a Super Ideal cut, very easily showing the black arrows in the center. The Amora in this video is nowhere even close to being a Super Ideal cut, if it were, it would outshine or at the very least match the natural diamond in all lighting conditions.
Not sure what gem they are using here or if the gem they got from BTD is just massively flawed, but the Amora in this video is not representative of an Eternity Amora gem from BTD.

That's because that specific diamond has almost the highest quality on all facets, cut, clarity, color, etc.. its freaking 15-20k.
It’s all about the cut !! The natural diamond in this video has lot more facets compared to the other two so the light bounces differently. I hope that helps. If they had cut moissanite the same way that would be killer.!
Could you please show us the same stone comparison with exactly the same cut as natural demand ? That would be very interesting
That's just how moissanite looks. I compared the two side by side when looking at ring stone options and the diamond really does look better (in my opinion). It's just a matter of them being different stones.
The Amora is gorgeous!! 🤩
very good video thanks!
the diamond is still the best. as in clarity and sharpness.
Michael I’m curious since Moissanite didn’t previously have a cut grade on the certification ,now that their are stones out like Neo diamond cut and even your own line now that’s cut more like a diamond above the girdle , do they now offer cut grades for diamond cut Moissanite stones or does it still remain the same ? No cut grade do to the fact it’s Moissanite And not an actual diamond ? Very curious thanks in advance ! Either way the comparison videos you do are the best here to educate people !
I love moissanite but the dark concentrated patterns in the moissanites are not pretty.
Pretty much think a moissanite has to be cut perfect, and it's outstanding but just not attractive if it's not cut perfect.
You can see the diamond dealers are feeling threatened. If they are smart, they will start dealing in the alternative stones. DeBeers' time has come.
Wish I could afford a "real" diamond... Love the video. Just wish you gave a honest opinion on which stone is better Moissanite or Amora... Under the lighting it looked like the Forever One Colorless stone looked more like an actual diamond.... Now how about a real comparison on Moissanite and diamelia stones.
Hi, i had been following your videos and have been through most of them.
I like the idea of purchasing a moissanite but its colourful sparkle puts me off. Two stones caught my attention white sapphire by Chatham but you said it isnt hard enough on Mhos scale and pure light caught my attention too but then you mentioned it looks a bit cloudy.
Can you please do a video comparing white sappire, pure light and neo diamond cut including pros and cons, comparing most colorful sparkle to the least, hardness and durability. That would be very helpful in making a decision. Thanks heaps
Will you do a comparison of the FAB with the amora gem?
What happened with Amora? No longer around??
Nice!
Thanks for the feedback! We try. ;)
I want to like moissanite but its cloudy in comparison. ugh!
that was not a good stone...good moisanitte looks even better than a diamond...just got mine free off wish...stunning!!
no matter what the real mine diamond is more lively than the rest
I disagree with some of the others. I think the prettiest fire and brillance belongs to the BTD Amora
Agreed! The Amora performs a bit better.
Not even close. The real diamond sparkles & has more fire than the other 2. It's just a superb stone.
I really want an alternative stone but my only concern is the stone looking cloudy over time. I use to work at a diamond store and people would bring their white sapphires in it would be sooo cloudy. I would have to clean under it if I could and it’ll be like new but do the Amora and Moissanite get cloudy?
Sapphire is softer than diamond and moissanite; therefore, it's more prone to abrasions on the surface areas of the stone from every day normal wear and tear. This may have caused the "cloudy" appearance that you're referring to. Moissanite is 2nd hardest next to only diamond and will normally withstand the test of time. It's very clear and does not scratch very easily compared to that of other natural gemstones. Please note that all white and clear gemstones; such as, moissanite, diamond and white sapphires are prone to oil stains from the hand (sweat, lotion, etc). This may cause a false illusion that the stone is "cloudy" when it is just dirty which may require cleaning from a professional jeweler every now and then. Give moissanite a try. You may love it.

Fire & Brilliance thank you so much for this! I have picked a wishlist and will be sending my fiancé your way. I appreciate your time for responding back to me. Can’t wait to work with you!
Sounds like a plan. We look forward to working with you as well! :)
GIA has the best shine IMO, one factor would be if the cut profile of the other two follows the same as the GIA, it is not actually ideal for the slight difference in refraction indexes. To me, the other two look dull and cloudy
You are rich enough to buy nature diamond and moissanite for comparison
That natural diamond is kicking their asses.
The moissy and amora were not polished, and the natural diamond was. That is not how moissy or AG stones look like. A moissy has way more fire than a natural diamond.
There literally is no comparison to the real diamond.
All of them looked great to me. In my opinion the diamond looked nowhere near good enough to be worth 15x more than the other two. Anyone who choses the diamond over the other 2, has more money than sense.
The cuts on the two alternative stones are quite bad. Even the natural diamond’s cut isn’t spectacular (common triple excellent cut; not ideal or super ideal), albeit having an excellent color and cut grade. The diamond, up close, still looks superior in comparison, and that’s with a common cut. But I don’t think anyone in their right mind would willingly pay more than 10x as much for something most people won’t be able to tell the difference between.

If you’re going for investment, then sure, buy the natural diamond in D-F color, flawless or near flawless, with a Super Ideal cut. But if you’re just looking for a nice sparkly ring for engagement or something, go alternative and normal folks won’t tell the difference.
Mined diamonds perpetuate slavery.
SS 22 - I've done research. How about you?
Nothing compares to the crisp and cut you will get from a diamond
Nothing compares to the hole in your wallet you will get from a diamond
Totally right about that! Just wait until you want to sell it. Then you find out what it's really worth!
A small diamond. I've graduated from small diamonds. Bought a "used" 1 ct. for three grand. I could have had double that size if I had gotten an Amora or Moissanite.
Bobbi. If you'd cut the middle-man, you can even get a triple-size for that price.
He compared a perfect and polished cut diamond to unpolished gems that were only “ideal” lol. Nice try though.
Nothing Beas a real diamond.
well you get what you pay....diamond obviously has to be more outstanding here it cost 15 times or more!
In this case I disagree. Even if the diamond looks better, does it look 15x better?
Ewww fakes. The fakez always look too crisp...especially around the edges...also they look funny in the middle. Also when they get dirty they are very ugly..but in a nice diamond setting no one would notice. If u cannot afford diamonds...dont go bigger than 1 carat in the moissanites.
that moissanite looks like garbage, I am so tired of hearing women and their, " i love my moissanite ring , its just as nice as a real diamond " no lady it's not.
I found the moissanite flame and sparkle somewhat cheap and of bazar-y taste. It is like a child's toy, doesn't have the life, the dept the strength of the flames as the diamond. It feel empty, cheap and superficial. Moissanite lovers will kill us for this.
Are you saying that a diamond is better enough that it is worth paying 4x the amount or more for it? If so either you are a jewler or you have more money than sense. I for one would rather pay $1,000 for something that is great than $15,000 for something that is only slightly better.
