am i the only one who doesn't think that the OEC and OMC are really at all similar? to me it's like an emerald and a radiant - they may have the same outline, but they're very different on the inside. to me the OEC and OMC are the same way.


it'll be better for my pocketbook, though, if there's no OMC, 'cuz i have zero interest in the ACC.


quickie eta: i also prefer the off-round shape of the OMC, to the super-roundyness of the OEC.

I thought there was a big difference between the OMC and OEC! I preferred the OMC for sure. love I really like the emerald vs. radiant analogy, too.

I think the OMC and OEC are similar in that they both have an open culet and large chunky facets, and the OMC is roundish. Ok so like comparing an orange to a tangerine.

But to compare a radiant to an EC is like comparing apples and oranges. Given that the EC is a step cut and bears no resemblance in cut to a radiant besides shape. smile

The girls that like the OMC over the OEC,..can you tell me the exact reasons why?? I have never owned a OMC,..so its killing me to know if I would like it more??
My fave is big chunky facets!!

But besides all that the point of this thread is to talk about your need/want/hope for an ACC since Mike has already said he is not going to be working on getting an OMC. I guess I was hoping there were people who felt like I do, if an OMC is not an option anyway, I would very much like the opportunity to purchase an ACC moissanite.

hmmmm

I don't really think they are that similar either... but oh well.

I personally have the same taste as Milday, 1. OMC 2. ACC 3. OEC.

I really did like the original OEC they did though, the large culet I LOVED... I missed them though

I would love an ACC, but I don't like BTD's version. It is too square for my taste. I like my cushions on the "pillowy" side. If the BTD ACC could be rounded a little, I'd definitely want one.

I have an Asha OEC and an OMC and I love both but the OMC has more sparkle then the OEC, slightly. I think there are more facets in the OMC then the OEC from what I can tell. The OEC is more chunky then the OMC I think.

Have you heard back anything from C&C on pricing or anything else about an ACC? I'm keeping my fingers crossed! wink
