No AndreaD, he cannot treat it just as a diamond. You need to be honest when dealing with jewelers. It is not fair to expect them to set something and not expect damage if you have not been forthcoming with the details of what they are working with exactly. If you feel you can't be, then I would suggest finding a new jeweler.

Anyone know if it would be against patent restrictions if someone in a non-patented country bought an Amora and then started reselling them on Ebay as pre-owned? I am wondering if this may be the fastest way some of us may be able to get one.

*Could* you get away with a few...possibly. I would be very surprised if that was a viable loophole for any reasonable quantity. It is way too large and too easy to jump through...like there was no patent protection at all! You would, in effect, be a distributor and still not allowed to sell in patent protected countries.

I am pretty sure that is still not legal. As a vendor on ebay, you are still subject to laws. They cannot be shipped to patented countries.

Hi AndreaD
Moissanite is very hard, but not quite as hard as a diamond, so your jeweler does need to know before he begins to set the stone. It can chip if he puts too much pressure on it. Moissanite can take more heat than diamond, though, so you can tell him to feel free to use a torch.

Omg, that is too much!! LOVE!!
