a 5ct moiss? I admire your confidence No, the 5ct RB was a natural diamond. The one I am looking to have set is a 4ct. moissy. WOW, I hope you don't mind me asking but - as a previous Diamond owner why Moiss? why not Asha? and do you find Moiss believable even in the larger sizes - seeing as you owned quite a large rock and know personally the differences? sorry for the twenty questions feel free to ignore haha

I considered Asha; however, after much research on this forum Moissanite apparently is more durable. I can be rough with my jewelry, I do not baby them. I am quite particular about jewelry and was skeptical about going with a non-diamond for a myriad of reasons. I ordered them to see IRL and I have to tell you, I was blown away.
We now have a combined family--close to the brady bunch. We are looking for a home that's larger than the 4BR we have now The plan is-- a very intimate wedding and two weeks in French Polynesia! With that being said, the question was-- do we spend $50k on a ring? Clearly the best decision was to find a ring I love, without compromising finances. Priorities have changed, as well as outlook on life in general. BUT I STILL LOVE MY BLING!!!
Perhaps that was too much info. for you, lol. I hope I've answered your questions and then some...

LOVE what you said about the real diamond - big diamonds are beautiful but they can't buy happiness all the time...
I totally admire your way of thinking. What a wonderful thing that we're all able to "have our bling and enjoy it too" without sacrificing a down payment on a house!! Congrats!!
Did you decide on a size? My ADHD kicked in halfway through the post and I don't think I saw your decision...

We decided on the 9.5mm, I am still patiently waiting for DK to respond... In the meantime, I will post more pics as promised. Enjoy!

How can they both be a J? To me the color is night and day. Is it as noticeable in person?

The difference in color is definitely noticeable in all lighting. When I took the 3ct to my jeweler, he indicated the yellow-ish tone. When I brought in the 4ct he was in awe and indicated that it was the whitest moissy he had ever seen and thought it was beautiful!

Do you see any yellow in either of these when outside? I am looking into a 9 versus a 9.5. thanks so much! Also which do you feel is "whiter"-more diamond like? When outside, the warm tone is not as prominent; however, it is still noticeable next to the larger stone. I did not post all pics which really exhibit the significant difference. When comparing the two side by side, the jeweler indicated the smaller stone was more a "true J-ish" and the larger was more of an H in his opinion, so I went with that one. Not much difference between the 9 and 9.5, go with the larger one! Good luck!
