So,my country is on the list...bummer,but I expected it.Anyway,IF I decide I want one of the future mira cuts that now are not avaiable in regular moissy (like the step cuts),can I maybe get an asha as a temporary center and then have it reset with mira when the ban expire/get lifted?Is it possible?I mean,I guess it is,but I just want to make sure :P

Less, sorry for the silly question. Just wanted to be sure -
So if the order is placed by a US resident/US billing address and shipped to a country other than what's on the list, is that legit/doable? I'm not sure if this was already previously asked. Thanks.

CG, can we befriend YOUR friend? Lol...

Got an answer back from the lawyers - the 2nd France was supposed to have been Greece. I have updated the posting to correct it - thanks again for spotting this!

Best regards

Hi KM,
The lawyers made a typo and double-listed France. The 2nd France is actually Greece, so Greece is on the ban list.

Albania is fine though.

Hope that helps,
Less

Less I honestly feel sorry for you because you will have to put up with ME stalking this thread untill the new Mira cut is available blush so can I preorder the first 8mm pls wink
Somehow I knew you were going to say that the typo error was Greece because out of all the european countries listed Greece was missing but who cares I still will be able to get my new Mira! I still LOVE my current Mira but I REALLY want the new cut.

Less do you have any plans in offering the new cut in fancy colours? eg pinks, blues or yellows?

Its doable. I would order the same size you intend to get for the Mira and ideally, in a setting that has a peg head.

You should be able to have the Asha pulled and the Mira set directly in - but sometimes if they have cut a larger seat or if the angles of the stone are different, its not possible by using the same prongs.

That's the reason for the peg head - to ensure that if there is an issue with resetting, they can pull the head and pop in a new one without much issue.

A basket head can work as well as long as the basket is welded in and not a 1 piece type of ring (same concept that they could pull out the basket and readily put in a new one).

Hope that helps,
Less
