She doesn't have an Amora OEC in 7.5mm. I think it is unenhanced and that is the issue. In her opinion the diamonds in the pendant are too white for the regular moissy. I still think it would work, but she is concerned about that.

...and knowing that he was going to swap the same exact stone, could have referred to his original CAD for Bella Roo before making the pendant to get the exact measurements. I would say this is exactly what happened! But, I don't think so, because then the Asha would fit the pendant and it doesn't. He made the pendant for a 7.5mm and the stone is actually 8mm.

Both the pendant and bella roo are 8mm. Kanga has a 7.5 Amora OEC because that's what she thought the original stone was. So she really doesn't have a stone for the pendant or bella roo.
The only other solution is to exchange the amora 7.5mm for an unenhanced 8mm OEC, she wouldn't have to pay anymore money for the stone, but the diamonds in the halo are E/F and she doesn't want that much contrast between the unenhanced stone and the sidestones. I personally like the look and contrast of warmer center stones with icy white sidestones but that look isn't for everyone. Moissy is so particular too, the unenhanced stones could range from J to L? The whitest stone so far without enhancement has been an J color, Poppy's stone I believe.
I just thought of one more solution. Is there someone that ordered an amora 8mm who is worried they may have gone too big? Perhaps they could swap with Kango for the smaller 7.5?

Sorry her OEC 7.5 is an Amora. She said this, "David made me a pendant for my 7.5 Asha which is (actually) 8mm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" So her 8mm that is currently in her ring won't fit into her pendant. And I don't think she wants to put the OEC Amora into the pendant because of cost. She would have to spend MORE money to get another Amora in an 8mm for her ring. Even if she exchanges the 7.5 OEC Amora for the 8mm OEC Amora it would cost more, plus the 8mm OEC Amora is out of stock. Also, she isn't sure that an 8mm unenhanced OEC - which IS available would look good in her ring as her diamonds are so white. Is this right, kanga? boo to it all.

The pendant is already made to fit a 8mm stone, so she can't put the amora 7.5 in there either :-( I recommended she try to return the amora oec, keep the asha in bella roo and get a wink cz for the pendant. I don't think Kanga has heard back from Moco about returning the stone. I hope they do it for her as she missed the deadline for returns by just a few days.

I'm really antsy to get my projects done too. But lately I've been thinking... I need to stop thinking like a jewelry hoarder and more like a collector and give myself some time to enjoy my recent acquisitions before I rush around trying get as much as I can as fast as I can.
This is so true! Ideally, MoissaniteCo will let her exchange the 7.5 OEC for a 8mm. Kanga will have to wait for the next batch. I think they are doing them back-to-back now. My 7mm stone is part of the batch that came in at the end of January. My stone was sent in over two weeks ago for enhancement but it's worth the wait. I'm been struggling to find a setting that I love, but I think I will hold on to the stone and wait until I have the funds to do the setting I really want rather than spending a ton of money on temporary settings.

Even if she exchanges the 7.5 OEC Amora for the 8mm OEC Amora it would cost more, plus the 8mm OEC Amora is out of stock. Also, she isn't sure that an 8mm unenhanced OEC - which IS available would look good in her ring as her diamonds are so white. Is this right, kanga? boo to it all.  The amora treatment added an extra $270 to the cost of her 7.5mm stone, if she were to get the 8mm unenhanced, she would have a credit of $75.00 (total cost of amora 7.5 OEC= $950- 8mm unenhanced which is $875) Amora OECs are not kept as part of Moco's normal inventory. When the unenhanced stones come in, they are inspected then sent for engraving and enhancement as per the customer's instructions. So the wait would be very long for an 8mm OEC because she would have to wait for the next batch and sometimes there are issues with color which causes even more delays. Then it's inspection/engraving/enhancement. I think Kanga's 7.5mm stone is from the very first batch, she waited so so long for it just to have this happen so I feel for her. The good news is the batches are moving along faster now.

Is this right, kanga? boo to it all.  this sounds right, and i agree... so i say see if you can switch for an 8mm take a look at it, if theres too much contrast send it back to get amora treated sell the asha and get a winkcz for the pendant..

I HAVE A HEADACHE! lol But on the bright side,...you all made me crack up!! Dont worry I was confused too!! I had to write it all down and study it!! lol The biggest issue is not time,..its $$$$. But Mike is going to let me exchange it for a Amora 8mm OEC,..I just have to wait,..and pay more!! I really love my Asha OEC and wanted it in my pendant,.but all I can afford now,.is a chris oec cz,.that I will send David for the pendant. I was great with my Asha OEC in the pendant because I knew it would not get knocked around like my ring does. My ring sets pretty high,..and I do knock it around a alot. Of course it would be a perfect solution for the Amora 7.5 to go into the pendant,.but we totally dont have the money for that. poo poo..that is double poo!! ya all get it now???
