Moissanite is just about the only gem stone that I have never owned and I don’t know much about it. After googling it I see the price is comparable to many other places. Knowing Meh’s great customer service I’d give it a try and if it’s not up to your standards return it. If they look like what’s shown in the picture I’m sure your partner will love them, they’re beautiful! Good luck!
@Lynnerizer
“Push screw”; the stem has ridges, but not threads. The clip gets a better grip than with a plain post, and is arguably more resistant to accidentally coming undone than an actual screw back. That feature is not terribly expensive to employ, but I don’t see it much. One embossed ring about halfway down the post is fairly common, though. My placeholder posts have that, and I’ve never had one fall out.
@LJeAYsy4LoqxEC@Lynnerizer that must have been sarcasm, most notably because of the “return it” statement…one does not simply “return” something to Meh!
The color is described as EF? (You will have to read up on Moissonite to see if the quality is adequate). The reviews are all good, except for one owner who says the clarity is lacking.
Walmart allows returns up to 90 days, last time I checked. Not sure about Meh since I never returned anything.
I don’t think either price is unfair, given the earrings are supposedly 14 Karat.
The necklace chain is a different story … sterling or gold plate over sterling. If you are thinking yellow gold, plate doesn’t hold up well in a short necklace that touches the skin. Shame they didn’t go for gold-filled which holds up much better (as well as gold for most people)
Moissanite is a gemstone born from the stars. It was first discovered in 1893 by a French scientist named Henri Moissan, who later won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He discovered microscopic particles of the gem that would eventually bear his name in Arizona, in a crater created by a meteorite that fell to Earth. He initially thought that he had discovered diamonds, but later determined that the crystals were composed of silicon carbide.
Natural moissanite is incredibly rare, so moissanite available today is laboratory-created. After many years of trial and error, the particles Moissan discovered were successfully synthesized to produce what is now one of the world’s most scintillating gemstones.
Moissanite, referred to as a diamond simulant, is engineered to give the illusion of similarity to diamonds, but is compositionally and visually quite different from a real diamond. The durability, brilliance, and color of the two gems are quite distinct. One common property of both diamonds and moissanites is that they are both very good thermal conductors.
The Moissanites I’ve seen in person are really spectacular, but I don’t know enough about them to know if some are of better quality than others. I’m going to pass because of the unknown (admittedly could be all my fault / lack of knowledge here lol), and also I’d prefer the earrings to be 1ct size each.
@Commonwealth109 ohhhh good point- before my coffee i didnt catch that size. Altho they would be okay then for second, higher earring post hole, as you say, not one carat each. Thanks! ( better for me to read meh AFTER coffee ).
Just to be fair, while the prices for these are pretty good, only the earrings are solid gold; the necklace is gold-over-sterling, or it would be a great buy. Moissanite is pretty expensive if you buy from a jeweler.
@CBL_WV Good catch, I don’t buy sterling vermeil unless it’s white gold - It doesn’t really hold up to everyday wear the way gold-filled does, particularly in a necklace, and replating is costly… thanks!
1.0 Carat TW Moissanite Earrings or Necklace in Solid 14K Gold - NOT!
The necklace isn’t “solid gold”, but you have to read the specs to find that out. It’s sterling silver for the white option and gold “plated” silver for the yellow option.
The description is at best, misleading. At worst it’s deceitful.
My wedding ring is moissanite! I love it so much. Durable, super shiny, and it was made in a lab and doesn’t make me feel bad like the diamond industry does. This is a good price, y’all.
Haven’t price-shopped this deal, but moissanite is beautiful. I had a ring with a 2-carat moissanite center stone in an expensive setting (platinum with smaller diamonds totaling 1 carat; long story!) and it looked great. I’m tempted by the earrings but have too much jewelry already. Half-carat each is a great size for earrings; large enough to look important but not so large that they seem fake.

Diamonds are for suckers. Moissanite is for people who want to look like suckers but spend less getting there.
@werehatrack
Better refraction
More fire and birefringent
These are much better.
@werehatrack s u c c
Worth about 10 carrots i think?
@akr225
Raw or cooked?
@akr225
Eh, mebbe, Doc.
Screw in backs gives much hope for a better quality stone than the last gem stone offering.
@Lynnerizer interesting, I am considering these for my partner. Does it seem of decent of enough quality per the price?

@Lynnerizer not sure if serious about the customer service bit. I’ve been kind of meh about what I’ve experienced.

@LJeAYsy4LoqxEC @Lynnerizer @TimW What do you mean you can’t simply return it?
@LJeAYsy4LoqxEC @Lynnerizer @MassLaw1955 @TimW yes, please, let me also know, before i jump on this. These are returnable, no? Thanks.
@LJeAYsy4LoqxEC @Lynnerizer @MassLaw1955 @sawaustin I mean, I guess you could ship them back to Meh HQ, but you won’t get your money back.

Quoting: “Mediocre does not accept buyer’s remorse returns”.
And if you got it in an Irk bag…you get what you get and you don’t throw a fit…they are notorious for having items with missing parts and non-working items.
@Lynnerizer @MassLaw1955 @sawaustin @TimW pretty much what I suspected.
@LJeAYsy4LoqxEC @Lynnerizer …
I think they are the exact same earrings as Walmart vender Superjeweler for $99.00…https://www.walmart.com/ip/1-2-Carat-Round-Moissanite-Stud-Earrings-in-14-Karat-White-Gold-Filled-for-Women-Teens-and-Girls-SuperJeweler/414567734

@brasscupcakes @Lynnerizer nice thanks and the option for 2ct
Oohh, Shiney! Um, that’s how I got trapped last time. I must resist.
Are diamonds still a girl’s best friend, or is that just for baseball players?
sigh Thanks meh gods for featuring me in last night’s email. Same problem, different day. Wake me when it’s mehrethon time.
Moissanite = silicon carbide, not diamond and probably manufactured in China (surprise??)
@ACustomer
Lab grown moissanite
Made by workers in a plant
No one died in mines

@CBL_WV
Scaled economies
More profit but less demand
Blame DeBeers cartel
You should blame someone else for this mess.
@CBL_WV The chain is the only part that’s plated. The stone setting is still solid.
@CBL_WV Good catch, I don’t buy sterling vermeil unless it’s white gold - It doesn’t really hold up to everyday wear the way gold-filled does, particularly in a necklace, and replating is costly… thanks!
Looks a lot like https://www.walmart.com/ip/1-Carat-Moissanite-Necklace-in-Solid-14-Karat-White-Gold/229882588 although it’s only $99 there.
@backsplatter The white gold pendant/sterling chain is actually $77.97 on your link above. Looks to be the exact same as this “deal”…
@backsplatter Step above cubic zirconia.
If I’m going to buy goldinium or diamondolio, I’ll get it from a real Dollar Store, thankyouverymuch.
Birefringent stone

@sawaustin Amusing. They clearly want to sell their lab diamonds.
Moissy rocks. And is a rock. Looks great IRL, not so expensive, and holds up very well. Sparkly as heck.
