Diamond Substitutions
Unlike other brilliant stones that cloud and dull with time, Moissanite is guaranteed to never lose its optical properties. Therefore, it will be every bit as beautiful, fiery and brilliant generations from now as the day you purchase it. Moissanite gemstones trully are Forever Brilliant.
Pros: less expensive than a diamond, but more durable, and some say more brilliant than a cubic zirconia (cz). Moissanite is actually more refractive than a diamond, giving it more brilliance and fire than either a diamond or c.z.
Cons: Can be slightly green or gray rather than colorless, especially in bright daylight. Make sure you examine a potential moissanite stone under a variety of lighting conditions, and that you know your store's return policy. While cheaper than diamond, it is still more expensive than cubic zirconia. Also, although incorrect, some still characterize moissanite as a "fake" diamond, giving it a cheap feeling.
Moissanite...A Class of Its Own!
In a class of its own, with nearly 2 1/2 times more fire than diamond, moissanite is not a substitute or simulant, but rather a unique jewel with exceptional brilliance and fire that delivers quality, beauty and value like no other gemstone. Women around the globe love the big, bold sparkle of moissanite and rave over our collection of moissanite rings. Worn on either hand, a moissanite ring will simply take your breath away!

This is the ring that I want right now that is a moissanite:
It was listed on Ebay for $1,499.00 with free shipping.
They design custom rings.
Also I could go to a reg jewelry store and pick out a setting that I like that is affordable and then just add in a Moissanite center stone instead of a regular diamond. You can purchase the lifetime warrenty Moissanite from a dealer names CHARLES & Colvard, apparently some kohls stores and jcpenny stores are carrying his line of moissanite gems at this time. There are also some other jewlery stores listed on his site that offer the product.
