Beautiful!!!...is the band moissanite too?..it's gorgeous with your solitare..:-))


Thanks Laurie, but no, that's not a moissy band. Just a basic cz stand in. I'm hoping for a moissy band in the next year or so smile



It matches so well with your Moissy.. Love the way they look together..:-)

I used this for quick reference for all the different stones
http://www.moissaniteco.com/guide_commonly_marketed_gemstones.html

From what I understood there are 4 "types":
Moissanite
Forever Brilliant - FB moissanite
Amora moissanite (also used to be called Mira)
Amora gem - AG (not yet available for sale)


All moissanite is currently made by C&C. FB is enhanced by third party under C&C. Amora moissanite is enhanced by another company. AG is a type of SiC and promises to be a beautiful stone that surpasses the previous versions of SiC crystals (not by C&C).

As to the durability, etc I will let the more experienced crowd to answer wink I am still learning

I want something durable and I'm still trying to decide whether to go amora in my setting or unenhanced. I don't really want a yellow/green tint but all these pictures look so white and crisp I don't see how it could get any better!

SO CONFUSED!

Kittyclark- I had the same issues you are having. After seeing Laurie and babyangelblings unenhanced cushions I now am confident that unenhanced isn't nearly as bad as some people are claiming. I want a 6.5mm and their cushions are 9 and 8mm. Also poppyseed on these boards has an 8mm i think unenhanced cushion and it is beautiful too. I feel the color of the unenhanced moissanite also depends on what you will have with it. My setting is a 14k white gold. I do not have any side diamonds or pave on the band so i feel unenhanced while it may show some buttery color will be just fine because it will be alone. (I am also kind of a frugal person, I'm the lady ad matching and couponing like a nut at stores) In some photos I do not see a need to enhance. I am also not color sensitive I cannot tell the difference in IHJ diamonds anyway. Just my opinion.
