🌿Diamond alternatives

I think a lot of people are aware of blood diamonds and what a scam the diamond industry is. Diamonds aren't rare, it's just companies lying and exploiting. I love the look of a clear shiny stone, but I'll never buy natural diamonds. There are better, cheaper, and more ethical options.

Lab grown diamonds

These are still sort of pricy, but nowhere near the insane prices of natural diamonds. Lab grown diamonds are the same as natural diamonds. They're just rocks that changed appearances under pressure.
They have the same hardness, clarity, and depth.

Moissanite

This is a cheaper option that's pretty hard for your average person to clock. The main difference is that moissanite is SLIGHTLY less hard and doesn't have the exact same transparent depth qualities of diamonds. The shine is also more radiant; you get more rainbow.
