If you look in the moissy forum and the gallery, you will find a lot of threads with pics on colour enhanced moissy.  The mods will probably move this to the moissanite forum as well... There is yellow, peachy pink, rose pink, blue, centola blue, light green, and dark green. And someone just posted a thread on native sky blue that is available on ebay. The greens are native as well, and not colour enhanced. C&C now does colours with Serenity , so you can get peachy pink and yellow from all moissy vendors, like Schubach's and MoissCo. They are not running blue right now, but Schubach's is doing Centola blue. MoissCo stil has some stock of light green I believe, and Schubach's has some stock of dark green. I have peachy pink and centola blue, all from Schubach's. The ring is a 9mm peachy pink cushion and the band has 4mm peachy pink rounds. The pear is 12x8 and Centola blue.         And this is a pic of Joyce's... she has the best collecyion  she has blue, rose pink, peachy pink, a ruby red that is not made by anyone presently, yellow and the native greens.

Yes, the lighter green is natural, uncoated. Joyce had it set in the setting that holds the dark gren now, but found it looked too washed out, so she reset. You will be able to find pics of it in the previous setting if you search. It do look very pale in that setting, so something to consider. I can't get onto MoCo's site right now, but if you look in their coloured moissy section, you can see what they have available. We m ight be able to order it in for you as well, but I am not sure how much of it is left. When it is gone, it is gone.

Wow! I just saw a rather elegant kangaroo wearing a beautiful peachy pink. I think that will be hard to top today as far as delightfulness goes.

I don't know quite what you mean about costumey? It won't look like a diamond, imo, but I don't think that makes it look costumey. People will probably just ask you what stone it is. I think costumey jewelry has more to do with the stone size and the setting.

hahaha, soooo many people have asked me if it is a pink diamond. Especially now if I just wear the band by itself. People often think it is a pink diamond band. But I have never gotten rudeness from any strangers that have asked about it, even after I say it is moissanite. They generally don't know what moissanite is, but they are always interested to hear. Some people make me write it down for them, lol.

Thanks kanga, And I'm thinking 7.5 or 8 mm cushion solitaire I guess I mean costumey by..well. turquoise is loud, one of its appeals to me. You know, bright, happy. But to others it may be offensive? Not offensive...kind of obtrusive? Insulting? I dunno what I mean. Lol This forum is so much more accepting then day to day people. I double checked, and these DO only come in rounds.  Supplies are limited, but they are still around.

These are all just so beautiful! & Kanga, I don't ask strangers if they want to try on my rings because I'm afraid of what they may say, but I've had a few ask me, and I definitely said yes! It's so flattering!!!  (ETA: if they came out with a light lavendar colored moissy in the OEC cut, I would die, and then go buy 10)

It makes sense to me! LOL I would be careful with who I let try it on, that is for sure. When your entire heart and bank account (in my case at least) is wrapped up in that little bauble, it's best to be safe rather than sorry!

I double checked, and these DO only come in rounds.  Supplies are limited, but they are still around. ): What are the chances of a moissy the color of gingerkabluey's aqua zircon? http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/topics/748735/3I LOVE that color. That color, in durable, clumsy-proof, brilliant moissy? My heart frowns at the chance of it not being possible in a cushion. I usually love impossible things. Sigh. And misskk, (and cupcake, and bellaroo) sure make those peachy pinks look pretty appealing. Ah.

Did you see this thread? http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/...ight#Post748963I don`t know what seller this is, but she said she got the light green in a cushion from ebay.  Some people seem to be holding onto rare, old stock...

because these only happened once, years ago. It was a fluke. They were not meant to be green, but somehting happened when they were growing the gem; some impurities must have gotten into it some how.. So they cut it anyway...and that is why when they are gone they are gone.
This colour is just not popular... If they had made moissy pink by accident, I bet it would have sold out in a heart beat, and they would have tried to redo the error. But this colour, not so much...which is why I doubt we would ever colour enhance to get this shade. The shade is available now and not moving very quickly.

Yeah the green are available a lot, and I think some of them are really pretty. They are on JTV, and Amants has them on clearance for great prices. My problem is that when I've seen them in videos they reeeally vary, from a pretty light bluish green that I LOVE, to a snotty green, to a weird moss. Anyway. There seem to be quite a lot of them around, and they are available from multiple sources, so at least you should be able to shop around. Also, I'm not sure that if a color is popular, they could reproduce it. Otherwise I would think given the popularity of blue they would be trying to reproduce the mistake that did the natural blues a few years ago.

Joyce could correct me but I believe she did get the green from Neil at gem_labs, that ebay seller in the link. Sometimes sellers get permission from clients to show pics of rings they've done, I think that's what happened there...but not sure.

We have 3x 6mm medium green cushions in stock. They are the last that I know of. I say that only because one distributor has all of the green Moissanites, and these were the last cushions they have available.

I really want to post photos of the light blue here for you because it might just be that color...but I can't take pictures like these ladies. Seriously I'm realizing those photos are a work of ART.
I take it back, I don't think this stone is the same color...it's not green enough.

From the videos of I have seen, the sky blue is quite pale with teal undertones, almost like an irradiated blue, but lighter. The light green is pale as well, but minty.

The colour will change a bit once mounted, stones tend to take on a different personality once set.
I would just get into natural lighting, make sure there is no flash, and use macro mode. I find indirect sunlight is the best to capture colour, but moissy will reflect colour, so you need to be in a naeutral coloured space. Get as close as you can with your camera, as long as it is still in focus. Coloured stones are just very hard to capture...usually out of 50 pics, 15 are good, and only 4 or 5 are representative of the colour, in my case.
