I would like your opinions please.

If I get an Amora cushion, the color is about an H/I according to MoissaniteCo.

What kind of eternity wedding band should I pair with it? Diamonds? Moissanite? Or would a Berricle CZ ring be fine? I am just wanting the stones from the solitaire and the band to "match" and not have one look white and the other yellow.

Thanks!!!!!!!

I am of the mind that your wedding band is more important than your ering. So while I love Berricle for fun rings or for adding to a stack for mixing and matching, I would not choose that for a wedding band, simply because it will not last forever. So I would choose either moissy or diamond. The regualr moissy should match well in the melee sizes, or you could get a band with I coloured diamonds, and that would match too. And it may end up being about the same price as the moissy band, due to the lower grade colour smile

I agree. I would do Moissanite or Diamond. You can always find beautiful diamond bands with the same color. Either or will be beautiful! Congrats!!

Thanks!

So I realized yesterday that the color of the Amora is actually J but faces up H/I. Honestly, I had ordered a 7 mm a couple weeks ago and ended up returning it mainly because it was too large for me. But the color was too warm also, I felt. Next to my I color diamond, the Amora was noticeably warmer to me. If it faces up H/I it shouldn't have been. Anyways, I plan to buy a smaller one and ask for a whiter one, and either way I plan to love it because it won't be right next to my diamond anyways smile

So I am wondering about this ring for a wedding band. It's beautiful.

It is G color though, so either it won't work or I would have to specify for warmer diamonds (like H)... If my Amora actually faces up whiter, then G would be fine.

I also still love a basic shared prong eternity band.

Suggestions?

There is a huge difference between J and H... In the "right" lighting conditions, sure! But in less than ideal conditions it will look much warmer. I would always just go by the actual graded colour, that said, it is still a warm stone, so if you don`t like warm, I would go for CZ or Asha until you can get Amora Gem. This isn`t just a moissy thing though, even diamonds will look warmer in the wrong lighting.

Yeah, it was only in certain lighting (or no lighting - in my kitchen only - weird right?). I still really liked it. I don't want to go Asha or CZ, a couple days ago I decided to look into Asha again but I am really set on Moissanite. I do love it, the look, the sparkle, everything. I am okay with the warmth. I am getting my original stone re-set for probably a right hand ring, so I am feeling less emotional about the whole thing now LOL. And I am getting excited to start planning my ring for my Amora cushion. I am pretty sure on it now.

Thank you for your replies! smile

So if I do get that DK ring, should I try for H stones or I stones or something? And what about a shared prong diamond band... H stones you think?

Melee look whiter anyway, so if your Amora is *I*, I would get *I* coloured stones to get a better match. H coloured melee is quite white.
