There are a few pictures of enhanced moissanites on here .. In my humble opinion..;-)..I had an enhanced moissanite once and really did not like it at all..it seems to dim the luster and fire of the stone..if that makes sense..all of my moissanites are un enhanced And they have beautiful color and sparkle like crazy..I had one enhanced stone..the color looked almost identical to my un enhanced stones.. But the stone seemed to sparkle much less..it lost it's disco ball appeal...;-)..the fire and colors a moissanite shoots off...that is what makes me Love the Moissanite stone over a diamond ....I hope this helps ...and again,,,it's just my opinion and what I have experienced owning and purchasing Moissanites..:-)

HMMMMMMM sugestions always help!

Thank You! Now I just need to decide on stone size! They rejected my original offer on the 5mm stone ( I really tried to get a good deal Hehe!) so that gave me time to question my original stone size decision. I want it hefty but not huge...

Sounds gorgeous sparkle!mom... Can't wait to see the finished product and pictures of your missanites!

My moissanite has customs clearance and todays date - COME ONNN! I am seriously getting miffed about it now!

I feel sorry for the poor moissaniterus guy too, he dispatched it so quickly, it only took 2 days to get into the UK and that was being posted last thing on a working day! I can't leave feedback until i see my sparkler....

Customs are a pain the the botty!

OK, I just ordered the first 5mm stone-ended up going with t_bone_is back seller on ebay. He is having a 20% off sale on alot of loose stones. Can't wait to see the quality for the price.
And i am thinking for these prices, I could build a full eternity ring for waaaaay less than purchasing. Anyone know if/where you can buy eternity mountings? Do people even do that....buy a mounting, source all the stones and then show up at your jeweler and have them assemble it all? I am new to the custom process here......
