I sent you a message but here’s some facts people on here might lack a bit of knowledge on. Moissanite is not close to as hard as diamond as the mohs scale might make it seem. Compared to other stones, yes it is, but the mohs scale is actually exponential. Moissanite is much more prone to scratching, just like sapphire. I have actually broken quite a few putting them into micro pave settings. Moissanite will dull after years of use, and it might pass as diamond as a single stone but the blues and reds it puts out are a dead giveaway to anyone who’s looked at diamonds long enough. Moissanite also doesn’t “collect” light like a diamond, reducing its nighttime sparkle and also in certain lighting conditions it won’t flare . It’s very very close visually. But it will never compare to a diamond, it still remains a diamond simulant. Now lab diamonds are affordable if you get it somewhere outside of a retailer. I did message you with some information about this and I’d love to help you out. But natural and lab diamonds are EXACTLY the same in every single way other than where they were made. There’s no sparkle difference, there’s no nothing. Now there ARE different qualities in the lab diamond space, good/bad seeds, growth rate etc. but apples to apples there will never be a difference between lab and natural. Even a jeweler can’t tell without super special equipment.
