Amazingly clear and diamond-like crushed-ice cut moissanites!
First of all, let me say that I am very picky. And Alexandra of Yasamine Co. exceeded my expectations.
We recently received our 10x7mm crushed ice oval moissanite from Alexandra, and it is even more beautiful than we had hoped for.
Going into this purchase, I did an incredible amount of research. I was looking for a very diamond-like moissanite that would have a lot of sparkle without looking "off" or too mirror-like. I love it when a stone has clear sparkles and some depth to it, and I don't like excessively shiny or brilliant cut oval cut moissanites. So, this led me towards crushed ice cut ovals. However, due to the reflective properties of moissanites, the vast majority of crushed ice cut moissies tend to be cloudy looking, or cloudy looking in some lighting situations. I was not satisfied with any of the crushed ice moissanites being sold, and I even considered giving up on an (ethical, well priced) moissanite for a diamond. Until I found Yasamine Co!
Alexandra spoke with us on the phone, talked us through the process, sent us two sample stones (for only the cost of shipping), and then we put in our order. We told her all our requirements (clear stone despite the cut, no bow-tie, sparkly in all lighting, the works) and she made sure to secure all of those attributes in the stone. She even sent it back to get it re-cut when it wasn't done up to her standards the first time.
I can't think of anything better than to buy an ethical, well priced, and beautiful stone from a local woman-owned business.
We are really grateful for the special crushed ice cut moissanites from Yasamine Co and will definitely be coming back for when it's time to design my right-hand ring!
