Hello and welcome to the boards!

Though I ended up choosing to have a ring custom designed and made, I would have no hesitations purchasing from MoCo. As is inevitable, there have been a few posters who haven't been completely happy with their purchases, but from what I have seen the overwhelming majority of MoCo customers are thrilled with their rings and their customer service staff work hard to fix any problems that might come up. You can check out the Moissanite Co/Asha Diamond vendor board in this forum for more reviews.

You've chosen a beautiful setting! Just so you know, it's also known as "Denise," and if you search the boards you can probably find even more pictures of it. For now, here's a thread made by the wife of the owner of MoCo, who liked the design so much she got one for herself! Hers has an Asha center, not a moissanite, though.

As far as craftsmanship, just be aware that all rings with pave (little diamonds set in a halo and/or band) must be treated with more care than the average ring. The more pave there is, the greater chance there is that you can accidentally hit the ring against a hard surface and knock of the small stones loose.

And just thinking ahead a bit, if you do decide to get this ring I'd highly recommend upgrading to Amora-enhanced moissanite. Your stone will be pre-screened for cut and quality, will be whiter (H/I) instead of the K/L/M color that moissanite typically is, and it seems to eliminate the green tinge that regular moissanite sometimes gets in overcast weather.

Welcome, undecided. It sounds like you won't be undecided for long, though. Yay!

The setting you have picked out is a stock one that you can get from any of the vendors on this board. For AmcorDesign, send a PM to Poppyseed. For Schubach's, send a PM to jcent. For Wink, send a PM to DiamondAngel. David Klass isn't an official vendor here (yet) and I think maybe he's not a stock setting guy and only a custom guy... but someone else will know that for sure.

That's a lovely ring!! I have a halo pave ring from Moissanitco. I LOVE it!! It's had it for a fe months now and I've already ordered from them again. They are a lovely company to deal with and The jewellery and very well made.

Here's mine (it looks warmer in this pic because I used instagram to take it and edited the picture with a vintage treatment)

These are all three of my rings from Moissaniteco, I just got the eternity band last week!

Welcome. Welcome. It was through this forum that we decided to go with a mossanite.

I almost bought from moissaniteco. but ended up going with a stock setting from Better Than Diamond with an Amora enhanced moissanite. I have not seen the unenhanced IRL but have seen the side-by-side pictures on the web site and on this forum. I am SUPER pleased with her. The double facets are amazing. They really throw more color than a diamond. Beautiful.

Another reason we went with the moissanite is I am really hard on things and have whacked this one more than once. I almost went with a halo or something with pave then came to my senses when I did a little more research and found out how delicate those types of settings are. (Also information I gleaned from this forum.) I'm sure I would have lost at least one stone or prong by now. (I went with a bezel for the main stone and the accent stones are channel set.) grin
