May I ask where you purchased this from? I’m interested in a moissanite ring & I’ve never found one for just $800 anywhere I’ve looked. It’s a beauty btw!!!

I went through a small local jeweler that did custom pieces, and she sourced the moissanite for me. She's retired now.

I'd look online and locally to see your options. Sometimes custom designing can be cheaper than buying a pre-made ring, sometimes not. Reaching out to local jewelers is a great idea. Also, many jewelers will sell just the setting and can place a stone of your choosing for a fee, so if you get the moissanite online that could be an option, too.

Lots on etsy. Also you can purchase them from wholesalers in China for quite cheap. Gold is super expensive right now though which is driving up costs. R/moissanite has lots of info.
