For those of you with moissy pendants and earrings, what color grade would you say they are? I had originally planned to get .66ctw studs and .33ct pendant from asha diamonds but customer service just informed me they are out of that size. I have never seen moissy in person and cannot find any near me smirk I'm worried moissy might be to warm for my taste. G-H seems to be my happy place. Also, do any of you ladies happen to know how moissy performs in the Denver area. I have heard where you live can make a big difference in how the stone looks. Is there any possibility that having moissy earrings and pendant will clash with my asha ring? Should I just suck it up and wait a couple months until they restock? Bah hum bug, I am just so bummed. I have been waiting months to purchase this set and now as soon as I get taxes back they run out of my size. Just my luck frown

Moissy performs less preferably in overcast environments. There is some warmth, and their is (in some stones) a little tint of green now and then. I think in the sizes you are looking at, however, moissanite is a fine option because the funky color doesn't start happening until you get to about 1 carat stones.

If it really concerns you, you could splurge for the amora color enhanced stones. But if I were you I wouldn't because your stones should be pretty white as is.

Of course if it really concerns you, you could wait for asha, but I don't think you need to and I'm pretty sure you would be happier with moissanite in the long run because it will never cloud. I always have problems with my earring, of all things, clouding..

My earrings are 1.5cts each ear, unenhanced (I like warm stones), and I would say they're probably around I-color.

Moissy is extremely diamondlike in small stones, and I think it would be great for .33ct stones! That is 4.5mm and they do look really great in that size.

I would start worrying about color in larger size stones.

I recently bought a pair of 1ct moissy earrings. I have H colored 1/2 ct diamonds too. When I compared the two, I'd say the moissy had a bit more color like an I, but not much. I posted pics of them on another thread.

I have the exact size moissy earrings you are considering, 2/3 ctw. Pics are here: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/...rrin#Post707356
The pics include comparisons with my F/G Asha studs and H color Asha ring, and the moissy earrings are a lot warmer, and they even have a green tinge to them. I don't mind the green tinge since they are so small, but I wouldn't like it if I went bigger.
