Hi everyone!!
I've been luking in BTD forum for the pass week deciding between a Asha or a Amora Moissy. Colour of the stones is pretty important to me, so Asha seems to be winning.. But my hubs likes the idea that a mossy have the 'beep' factor when tested with a normal diamond tester. (not that we have a tester, but it's more believable as a diamond replacement without breaking the bank?)

I'm looking at getting a ring with side stones. Since the side stones are unenhanced mossy, is there an obvious colour different when its set together with a center Amora Moissy?
I probably wouldn't have this issue with Asha Diamonds?

Would love to heard everyone's input!


ps:
I've looked throughout the forum with regards to my query, but haven't seen any threads about it. Sorry if there is already a similar thread!!

This is directly taken from moissaniteco.com:

If the center stone is an Amora but the side stones are regular Moissanite will the color match?

This is a concern that is shared by many of our customers, but we have had many who have mixed an Amora Moissanite center stone with smaller Moissanite side stones and all have been satisfied since the smaller melee size stones face up whiter.

If you interested in purchasing a ring with larger side stones, for example a 3 stone ring, we would


I have an eternity band with unenhanced moissanite and an 8mm Amora moissanite. When they are next to one another, you cannot see a color difference.

My current set is a mix of Amora and regular.

The three stone is all amora while the band is regular

I believe the stones in the band are 3mm, and I feel like they look great together!

You've gotten some great advice! I personally love the added depth of moissy and amora but I do have a lot of asha rings as well. You can't really go wrong with either of them, we are all so lucky to have found these options. smile

Since sidestones are so much smaller, they are much whiter than the centerstone. Moissanite shows more color the larger the stone is, so you should be fine mixing unenhanced and Amora.
You can also upgrade to diamond sidestones for an additional fee - email the folks at MoCo for more information. If you opt for Asha instead of diamond I'd recommend upgrading to diamonds for sure.
