I note that Cooksons are now selling Moissanite as part of the range of stones, I truly believe this stuff shouldn't be near our business, life is tough enough without this being in general circulation, leaving the less scrupulous the ability to very easily pass it off a diamond to the less aware. As honest as the jeweller may be when he sells a carat stone, explaining all about its properties and low price etc , but once its out there its nothing but potential trouble.

I have been threatened by a very irate ( and large) customer accusing me of swapping and 1.5ct round diamond for a Moissanite in a ring I had taken in for a resize, the £6000 he wanted from me at the time could quite easily ruined my business, I was actually able to prove I hadn't but not before a lot of ill feeling and police involvement
.
Its bad news and if Cooksons want to sell it they should hand out Moissanite testers ( that work ! because most of them don't) to all their account holders .

Be interested what anyone thinks ?
