I know I am a little late responding but I have an Amora Moissy from Moissanite Co and a pair of Amora Studs. I have a 30X magnification loupe and I had trouble locating the inscription at first. I went outside and looked through my loupe, not in direct sunlight but in the shade and tilted it on an angle so I could view the girdle. It took a while since it is so tiny but after a few tries, I could see it on my Cushion cut Amora. I did the same thing when I received my studs and the inscription was there. Here is a link to show you where to look: http://www.jewelry-secrets.com/Diamonds/...scriptions.html

Good luck and I hope that everything works out for you.

Thanks for that info, jewelryaddict. I will definitely scope the ring when I get it back. I mailed it today so it'll be there on Tuesday. I hope to have an answer next week. Have I mentioned again how grateful how cut and dry this will be due to the amora inscription?!

One thing I thought of today is that when I sent DK my stone originally, I asked him to grade it. Honestly I was only concerned about what he thought the color is but he toldme clarity, etc. anyhow, he said my stone faces up like a 2.25 carat. So that means he measured it when he received it. And like I said yesterday, when I had it measured yesterday, it was 7.99mm. I saw so much of that purple hue today on the way to ship it out that I am very certain it is not moissanite. We shall find out next week. I am thankful to be working with an honest man and feel confident this will all be resolved.

OH Little_Bit, I am hoping for the best, and that you just have a very, very nice stone. If mistakes happened, I am sure that they will be fixed asap.

When I sent him my stone he told me it it weighed 2.92 cts but faces up like a 3.5 cts. Just thought I would put that out there. Sometimes the measurements don't match the way the stone faces up.

I would only trust the double refraction that can be seen with the naked eye.

I thought the double refraction wasn't easily visible (if at all) with the naked eye. ???

You are correct MG, it can only be seen under magnification looking through the crown. You cannot see it with the naked eye.

Other doubly refractive gems:
alexandrite, aquamarine, citrine, kunzite, corundum (ruby/sapphire), spinel, tourmaline

So all of the people who say they can spot a moissy because of the double refraction or that they can see it AT ALL are just full of hooey? Hmmm.....
I don't hang out of WB much but I've seen those posters...
"Oh, my friend got a moissy ring and I could tell right away that it wasn't a diamond by the double refraction."

hmmm..but what about the way it's cut? b/c when I got my RB, i noticed that it looked very splintery, like it wasn't cut "like a diamond" could that be what others are saying is the giveaway?

Don't forget zircon!
