) Amadayimane amelela i-41% yokuthengiswa kobucwebe bokudayisa jikelele, kodwa eminyakeni yamuva, i-moissanite ibilokhu ithola ukuthandwa kwedayimane, ikakhulukazi emakethe yokuhlanganyela kanye nendandatho yomshado.

Ama-Moissanites akhula ngokuthandwa kakhulu ngenxa yokubonwa kwawo njengenye indlela egcina imvelo kunedayimane, kuyilapho futhi ethengeka kakhulu (cishe ingxenye eyodwa kweshumi yentengo).

Usokhemisi u-Henri Moissan waba ngowokuqala ukufunda itshe eliyigugu ngo-1893, ngemva kokuba litholakale ekuqaleni kwe-meteorite crater. Phakathi nekhulu leminyaka elidlule, ososayensi baye basebenza ukuze baphinde badale futhi baphelele itshe, futhi ngo-1998, langena emakethe yobucwebe.

I-Moissanite iyitshe eliyigugu lesibili elinamandla emhlabeni - isibili ngemva kwedayimane - elinamandla kunesafire noma irubi. Futhi mayelana nokukhanya--okungukuthi, ikhono lokukhombisa ukukhanya noma "ukucwebezela" --moissanite empeleni iphakeme kunedayimane.

Cishe wonke amatshe e-moissanite atholakala emakethe adalwe ilebhu. Lokhu kukwenza kube inketho edumile kumakhasimende anokukhathazeka ngesimilo mayelana nezinqubo zokumba izimayini ezicekela phansi imvelo ezivame ukuhlotshaniswa nemboni yedayimane noma ukuphikisa imikhuba yokuxhaphaza abantu phesheya kwezilwandle. Ngaphezu kwalokho, abanye abathengi bangase bangafuni ukuthenga ngephutha a

idayimane legazi

--okuthiwa yingoba imali etholakala ezimayini zetshe eliyigugu elifunwayo kwesinye isikhathi iye yasetshenziswa ukuxhasa izingxabano zempi ezinodlame kwamanye amazwe ase-Afrika.

Ukukhathazeka okunjalo bekuhumushela ekuthengisweni okwengeziwe kwe-moissanite.

UCharles & Colvard, umkhiqizi wophawu lokuhweba

Forever Brilliant

moissanite, ibe nekota yayo yokuthengisa ehamba phambili ngentwasahlobo edlule kusukela ngo-2006. Ngokukhethekile, uCharles & Ukuthengiswa kwaminyaka yonke kweColvards kweqe ngamaphesenti angama-27, kwedlula isilinganiso sebhizinisi lobucwebe esingu-7.7%. Ikota yesine yezinkampani ngo-2013 yabona ukuthengiswa kwenyuka ngo-6%, okwenza imali eyizigidi ezingu-8.6 zamaRandi. Amabhizinisi ayo aqonde ngqo kubathengi, ahlanganisa i-Moissanite.com kanye nesiteshi sokuthengisa ekhaya i-Lulu Avenue, nawo anda ngo-69% ngaleso sikhathi afinyelela ku-$1.3 million. Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-U.S. imali yokuthengisa yezinyanga eziyisishiyagalolunye ephele ngoSepthemba 30, 2014 ibingu-$16.5 wezigidi, ikhuphuke ngo-15% kusukela esikhathini esifanayo sonyaka odlule.

Uma kuziwa ekukhetheni izindandatho zokuzibandakanya namanye amagugu, abathengi banamuhla bahambisana ikakhulukazi nebhalansi phakathi kwekhwalithi nenani, kusho uSteve M. Larkin, Charles & Colvards isikhulu sokusebenza. Lokhu

izinga ngokumelene nenani

Udaba luyathakasela izinkampani zobucwebe namuhla, ikakhulukazi ngenxa yesimo sebhizinisi esiyinselele esibikwe ngesikhathi samaholide esisanda kuphela lapho u-Tiffany kanye neBlue Nile begeje imigomo yabo futhi baba nezindawo ezidumazayo.

U-Krish Himmatramka, umsunguli we-Do Amore, umthengisi wobucwebe osebenza ku-inthanethi osebenza ngokukhethekile emasongweni omshado enziwe ngokuziphatha, uphawule ukuthi izindandatho ze-moissanite zihlanganisa ama-45% azo zonke izindandatho zenkampani ezithengiswayo, uma kuqhathaniswa no-25% kuphela wamadayimane (ama-30% asele akhethiwe. amasafire).

U-Himmatramka ukholelwa ukuthi ukufinyeleleka ngokuvamile kwenza umehluko omkhulu kumakhasimende akhe ancamelayo jikelele ye-moissanite kunedayimane.

Nakuba ukuthengeka kubalulekile, ngisho nekhasimende elinesabelomali sedayimane elincane lingathenga itshe elikhudlwana uma likhetha i-moissanite, kusho u-Himmatramka. Kukhona futhi umuzwa wokuba sengozini kwamanye amakhasimende, akhathazekile ngokuthi uma ethenga indandatho yedayimane azolahlekelwa yiyo. I-Moissanite ibonakala iyindlela enobungozi futhi ekhangayo kakhulu.

Kodwa-ke, u-Himmatramka ucabanga ukuthi ukukhathazeka kwemvelo kunomthelela ekuthengeni futhi.

[S]amanye amakhasimende akhetha iqiniso lokuthi i-moissanite yadalwa ilebhu e-U.S., okuyenza ibe ngenye yezinketho ezikhona ezihambisana nemvelo, kusho u-Himmatramka.

Phakathi naleso sikhathi, abanye abenzi bobucwebe bakhetha ukusebenzisana ne-moissanite ngokuyinhloko ngenxa yalesi sizathu.

Amatshe akhiwe ilebhu afana ne-moissanite alula emvelweni futhi alandeleka kakhulu kunamatshe asezimayini, futhi njengoba i-moissanite ibukeka futhi yenza njengedayimane, ngisebenza kakhulu ngaleli tshe esikhundleni salokho, kusho umcwebi ozimele ozimele uTamar McFarland we-McFarland Designs, ongasebenzi naye. amadayimane.

UMcFarland ngokuthi izindandatho zakhe ze-moissanite ezenziwe ngezandla, ezitholakala ngokuyinhloko ukuze zi-odwe ngesitolo sakhe se-inthanethi se-Etsy, bezidayisa kahle kakhulu kule minyaka embalwa edlule.

Iningi lamakhasimende ami liyangithola ngoba lifuna ikakhulukazi ubucwebe be-moissanite, kusho uMcFarland. Noma, ngoba bafuna umshado owenziwe ngokuziphatha noma indandatho yomshado.

U-Larkin uyavuma.

Abathengi baya ngokuya baba nentshisekelo yokukhetha amagugu angenazo izingxabano futhi atholakale ngokuqhubekayo, kusho u-Larkin. [Uma abathengi bengazizwa kahle ngokuthenga, mancane amathuba okuthi bathenge kunangaphambili.
