I-Moissanite ifumana ukuDumisa njengenye indlela yeDayimane

Esona sitalato

) Iidayimani zimela i-41% yeentengiso zokuthengisa ubucwebe, kodwa kwiminyaka yamuva nje, i-moissanite iye yazuza ekuthandeni kwidayimane, ngokukodwa kwintengiso yokuzibandakanya kunye nendandatho yomtshato.

I-Moissanites ukwandisa ukuthandwa ubukhulu becala ngenxa yokubonwa kwayo njengenye indlela ezinzileyo kwidayimani, ngelixa ifikeleleka kakhulu (malunga nesinye seshumi sexabiso).

Usokhemisti uHenri Moissan waba ngowokuqala ukufunda ilitye lelitye elinqabileyo ngomnyaka ka 1893, emva kokuba lalifunyenwe kwi meteorite crater. Kwinkulungwane edlulileyo, izazinzulu ziye zasebenza ukuze ziphinde ziphinde zenziwe kwaye zigqibelele ilitye, kwaye ngo-1998, yangena kwimarike yobucwebe.

I-Moissanite lilitye lesibini elinamandla emhlabeni--yesibini kuphela kwidayimani--yomelele kunesafire okanye irubhi. Kwaye ngokobukhazikhazi-oko kukuthi, ukukwazi ukubonakalisa ukukhanya okanye "ukukhazimla"--imoissanite yongamile kunedayimane.

Phantse onke amatye e-moissanite akhoyo kwimarike ayenziwe elebhu. Oku kuyenza ibe lukhetho oludumileyo kubathengi abaneenkxalabo ezisesikweni malunga nezenzo zokwembiwa kwemigodi ezonakalisa indalo zihlala zinxulunyaniswa neshishini ledayimani okanye inkcaso kwizenzo zoxhatshazo lokusetyenzwa kwabantu phesheya kolwandle. Ngaphaya koko, abanye abathengi basenokungafuni ukuthenga ngempazamo i

idayimani yegazi

--ebizwa ngokuba ngenxa yokuba imali efunyenwe kwimigodi yelitye elinqabileyo elifunwayo ngamanye amaxesha liye lasetyenziselwa ukuxhasa imali kwiimfazwe ezinobundlobongela kumazwe athile aseAfrika.

Iinkxalabo ezinjalo ziye zaguqulela kwiintengiso ezininzi ze-moissanite.

UCharles & Colvard, umenzi wophawu

Ngonaphakade Brilliant

moissanite, yayinekota yayo yokuthengisa intle kwintwasahlobo edlulileyo ukusukela ngo-2006. Ngokukodwa, uCharles & Iintengiso zonyaka zaseColvards zitsibe i-27%, zigqithise umyinge weshishini lobucwebe be-7.7%. Ikota yesine yeenkampani ngo-2013 yabona intengiso inyuka nge-6%, ivelisa i-8.6 yezigidi zeerandi kwingeniso. Amashishini ayo ngokuthe ngqo kubathengi, abandakanya i-Moissanite.com kunye nesiteshi sokuthengisa ekhaya i-Lulu Avenue, nayo yanda i-69% ngelo xesha ukuya kwi-1.3 yezigidi zeedola. Ukongezelela, iU.S. ingeniso yokuthengisa kwiinyanga ezisithoba iphele ngoSeptemba 30, i-2014 yayiyi-$ 16.5 yezigidi, inyuke nge-15% ukusuka kwixesha elifanayo kunyaka odlulileyo.

Xa kuziwa ekukhetheni amakhonkco othethathethwano kunye namanye amatye anqabileyo, abathengi banamhlanje bahambelana ngokukodwa nokulungelelana phakathi komgangatho kunye nexabiso, utshilo uSteve M. Larkin, uCharles & Colvards igosa eliyintloko lokusebenza. Le nto

umgangatho ngokuchasene nexabiso

Umcimbi ukwangumdla kwiinkampani zamatye anqabileyo namhlanje, ngakumbi xa kujongwe imeko yoshishino ecela umngeni ekuxelwe ngayo kwixesha leeholide eziye zaphela apho bobabini uTiffany kunye neBlue Nile baphose iithagethi zabo kwaye baneendawo eziphoxayo.

U-Krish Himmatramka, umseki we-Do Amore, umthengisi wezacholo kwi-intanethi osebenza ngokukhethekileyo kwimisesane yomtshato eyenziwe ngokuziphatha, waphawula ukuba amakhonkco e-moissanite abandakanya i-45% yazo zonke iintengiso zeringi zenkampani, xa kuthelekiswa ne-25% kuphela yedayimani (i-30% eseleyo ikhethelwe iisafire).

U-Himmatramka ukholelwa ukuba ukufikeleleka kuhlala kwenza owona mahluko mkhulu kubathengi bakhe ngokubanzi ukukhetha kwe-moissanite ngaphezu kwedayimani.

Ngelixa ukufikeleleka kubalulekile, kwanomthengi onebhajethi yedayimane encinci unokuthenga ilitye elikhulu ukuba ukhetha i-moissanite, utshilo u-Himmatramka. Kukho nemvakalelo yomngcipheko kubathengi abathile, abanenkxalabo yokuba ukuba bathenga iringi yedayimani baya kuphulukana nayo. I-Moissanite ibonakala ingenabungozi kwaye ngoko ke inketho ekhangayo.

Nangona kunjalo, u-Himmatramka ucinga ukuba iinkxalabo zokusingqongileyo zinegalelo ekuthengeni ngokunjalo.

[S]abanye abathengi bakhetha inyani yokuba i-moissanite yenziwa ilebhu e-US, iyenza ibe yenye yezona zinto zikhethwayo ngokusingqongileyo, utshilo u-Himmatramka.

Okwangoku, abanye abenzi bobucwebe bakhetha ukusebenza kunye ne-moissanite ngokuyintloko ngenxa yesi sizathu.

I-Lab eyenziwe ngamatye afana ne-moissanite ilula kwindalo kwaye ilandeleka ngakumbi kunamatye ambiweyo, kwaye ekubeni i-moissanite ikhangeleka kwaye yenza njengedayimane, ndisebenza kakhulu ngeli litye endaweni yoko, uthi i-jeweler ezimeleyo uTamar McFarland we-McFarland Designs, ongasebenzi naye. iidayimani.

UMcFarland ngelo xesha amakhonkco akhe e-moissanite enziwe ngesandla, afumaneka ngokuyintloko ukuba aodolwe ngevenkile yakhe ye-Etsy ekwi-intanethi, ebethengisa kakuhle kakhulu kule minyaka idlulileyo.

Uninzi lwabathengi bam bayandifumana kuba bajonge ngokukodwa ubucwebe be-moissanite, utshilo uMcFarland. Okanye, ngenxa yokuba befuna ukubandakanyeka ngokuziphatha okanye umsesane womtshato.

ULarkin uyavuma.

Abathengi banomdla wokukhetha amatye anqabileyo angenangquzulwano kwaye afunyenwe ngokuzinzileyo, utshilo uLarkin. [Ukuba abathengi abaziva mnandi ngokuthenga, abanakho ukuthenga kunangaphambili.
