NEO MOISSANITE
These beauties are fairly new to market, as of October 2015, and they were the first moissanite to come to market after the patent expired. They rolled out their stones with an ideal round cut, and now they have expanded their line to nearly all shapes. Hello trillion! They have made great strides with their cut (cut is key, my love), and now have a diamond cut cut round as well as a round brilliant, in both near colorless and colorless. When they first rolled out, they were pretty but not amazing, so a heads up, you'll see some forums where girls are chatting about how they looked months ago, or late last year and much of the feedback wasn't great. We want you guys to be aware that the newer NEOs really are beautiful (like this 4 carat knockout), otherwise we wouldn't be selling them.
We are able to get all kinds of sizes in the NEO diamond cut round, including melee (jeweler speak for tiny ass stones) as well as their gorgeous new cushion cut, which we first saw at the 2016 JCK Vegas gem show, and, well, YUM. They've also rolled out a myriad of other shapes over the last 2 years - emerald, radiant, princess, oval, pear, marquise, heart, and half moons, to name a few. The NEO is the most affordable stone we sell, come with an awesome warranty that even covers chipping and scratching, and they have a sexy name.
Some geek speak: The NEO is a 4H crystalline polytype, which allows for the cleanest and purest colorless rough crystal growth. (#GemNerd) The NEO outperforms the 6H polytype currently used in the market today, and it is grown and faceted in a way that allows us to create the exact look that you want. While rare on Earth, the NEO is remarkably common in space. It is a common form of stardust found around carbon-rich stars. The NEO is a 4H crystalline polytype, allowing for the cleanest and purest colorless rough crystal growth.
