Professional Jewellers First Reaction to Moissanite!

Check out the new Diamond Mounter merch!
https://cbilton.creator-spring.com Moissanite has been around for a long time however it seems recently it is really causing a stir in the jewellery trade.
Ive never seen moissanite before and I dont even know much about it so I decided to buy one!
I have mixed feelings about it. Im actually quite impressed with the stone but I dont like how its being created and marketed as a direct alternative to diamond.
Im blessed to have only ever worked with top quality diamonds through out my career (D,E,F colour GIA certified diamonds as a norm) and this stone simply is no where near as special as a D colour, vvs1, triple excellent diamond that it is pretending to be.

This video was made possible thanks to the patrons! The money I received so far enabled me to purchase the stone and I'm very grateful to everyone who is supporting the channel.
If you would like to help the channel grow and allow me to offer more of my expertise gained over 24 years as a professional jeweller then a good way to do that is through the new patreon page connected to the channel.

With patrons support I will be able to offer far more information than I am currently able to.
With nearly 25 years of knowledge gained in the jewellery trade working with some of the best diamond mounters in the UK I can train practitioners of jewellery making, up to and far beyond the skill level found in High Street jewellers workshops.
I have been lucky enough to have been taught by actual Bond Street shop model makers and my ambition is to share what I have learned through out my career to as many people as possible.
My vehicle to do this is the Diamond Mounter YouTube channel and now after nearly 1 year of uploading video guides, its time to take it up a level.
My ambition is to be able to make instructional videos with not just silver, but gold and platinum also. Some proper jewellers soldering equipment will enable me to create much more special pieces too! This will open up a whole new world of information I have to share.
There are many specific methods and techniques used for the different precious metals and knowledge about gemstones I can teach that will never enter my videos unless I am actually working with them.

If you may be interested in becoming a patron and supporting the channel to help it grow please click the link below to go to the Patreon website and find out about all the benefits that come with being a Diamond Mounter patron.

There is now a new entry level tier which costs just £1 a month.
Its named the supporter tier which allows you to support the channel with out any substantial financial obligation. I will thank you personally on the next Diamond Mounter video uploaded!


I hope you will consider becoming a patron.

Thank you,

C.Bilton

With this channel I will share with you methods and techniques I have learned over the previous 24 years as a professional jeweller.
I specialize in high end bespoke pieces made the old fashioned way by hand.
I wish to document everything I know, continue to learn and make accessible to everyone rare skills and techniques only usually taught in high security jewellers workshops.
