I do not know how someone sees green in their moissanite in the sun. Me either. Regardless of color the sparkle is BLINDING and the stone could be purple and it would be hard to see, lol. 'Warm' is subjective, that's why they do color grading. Is H described as warm on any diamond grading scale? In a case of white vs warm diamonds the H would still be in with the white. It's not a warm color. Sometimes I but more often J or K is when you start to get the 'warm' description in color grading even though *some* people are sensitive to the every so slight color in H colored stones. DH sees fuchsia as pink because he can't see the purple/blue tones. DS says it is purple. Neither one of them are correct, it's still fuchsia! AGREE! H is considered "near colorless" in diamonds. I am very color sensitive, but not in the way most are. H is as colorless as I can handle. Moissy to me is sheer perfection, even unenhanced!

i was considering the amora moissanite... did you at least think that this was a better stone than the unenhanced moissys? would you say it lived up to the 'h' color grading? thanks!

Forgive my ignorance - this may have been addressed already/elsewhere - will the asha's cloud or change colour over time? Or are they likely to last 'forever'?

They will not cloud or change colour, but they may scratch, abrade, or chip, depending on how you wear it.

I also have the Bella wedding set. My enhanced stone is so so warm. I bought the Amora to see and to me it looked just like my original enhanced so that is why I returned it. I was pretty bumeed out. I do like the sparkle in the moissy don't get me wrong. But for some reason I see A LOT of color and so does my husband.
I love a colorless diamond so maybe thats why we are sensitive to it? I dunno. I didn't mean to bash on moissanite at all! They are pretty. I guess I am just picky on cut,color and clarity. Thats why I am so excited for the Amora GEM!! I can't wait to get my hands on that stone. I feel the same way. I do not want to bash Moissy either, because MANY people LOVE it. It's not for me. I definitely think the grading scale for Asha and Amora are different. An "I" Asha is much whiter/lighter than an "I" moissy IMO. The cushion moissys I saw were warm, maybe my eyes play tricks on me? They were definitely "warm." As in not white, ever. Call them "buttery" or "yellow" not ugly at all, just too warm for me. Anyways, I never saw a round or OEC moissy.

I definitely think the grading scale for Asha and Amora are different. nope, same grading scale. but remember, just like diamonds, the Asha and the Amora enhanced (and, in time, the Amora gem) are graded under specific and highly controlled lighting conditions, which are not necessarily the same lighting by which we are viewing our own personal jewelry.
