even if the patent gets resolved this year, which is super best case scenario...it wouldnt be until later in the year...then less wants to launch all of his own cuts first and then work on the AVR...so 2013 is pretty much as good as itll get

I second the question: will there be AVC Ashas? No patent restrictions there...

+3! But for the AVR, as well. Please remember the AVR in your deliberations!

+1!!!!

Good question. I'll find out.

Woooot! Will also inquire about the AVR, too?! Most-pretty please?!

It seems unlikely that it would be available in time, but if an AVC was available, it would, by far, be my first choice for the Amora Gem. Anything else would be a compromise for what I have in mind.

If I could get an Amora Gem AVC in time, I would get something like the following made for my (hopefully) future fiance.

In my eyes, that setting and the AVC are the most amazingly perfect match for each other.

So, Rhino, do you have any updates on how plans for an AVC Amora are progressing?

Gorgeous ring!! That LM ring belongs to one of the forum members here!! SO divine!! I will also be dreaming of the AVC!!

If there is a possibility of an AVC AG or an AVC Asha... what is the limitations in the elongated version to keep it a true AVC Rhino???? I'm hoping to have my Elongated Cartier Cushion replaced with either of these stones and it being a 10x8mm I was wondering what my options in the future might be...

Hi roo,

If it's not too expensive I'll experiment with more elongated versions of the AVC. In diamond we found that when we elongated it past the 1.10:1 ratio a bowtie began to become more apparent and the diamond took on an unwanted darkness. Perhaps different with the sims? We'll find out.
