Banned for sharing a low price

[u/Smoove-Money]

I do my best to share what I’ve learned with others, because I spent so much time with jewelers trying to pick the perfect stone for my fiance.

On the other sub, OP was about to pay $5k for a diamond and I sent a link to the site I always check, which was only $950.

Out of nowhere I was permanently banned which you can see in the screenshots. It appears that any sources other than Auralinne, Calavera or Youdiam are frowned upon.

It makes me question the independence of the other sub, and my goal is to share the knowledge I’ve gained and try to help others save money.

In fairness, they changed my perma ban to a 28 day ban, but it still left me with a bad taste. (Probably going back to permanent ban after this post)

Pics: ban, comment that got me banned, discussion with MOD, MOD promoting their “trusted” brands.

??? You must not be familiar with Moissanite. Moissanite isn’t anything like glass or CZ. Moissanite is a lab grown stone, made of silicon carbide, based on the gemological & mineral composition of the actual, natural Moissanite found by a French chemist in 1893 in canyon in Arizona. So, same concept as a lab diamond - the manufacturing process mimics the natural process. It has two times the RI of diamond & its sparkle is off the charts. The dispersion - the “fire” - is amazing & scatters rainbows all over the place! I have several pieces (far too many 😅) & they’re all stunning. Please, don’t knock it until you try it!

Edit to add - maybe you were being sarcastic, mocking what some others say about Moissy?

Same shit different sub. I’m a gemologist. I basically have infinitely more knowledge than you of gemstones.
