And similar fire for the cut in how it shows itself in the stone. The fire is a big one.

Okay, I'll try my best with this one.

So, the Amora Gem in ANY cut is going to have 200% more fire than it's diamond counter-part (AG Round vs. Diamond Round, AG Asscher vs. Diamond Asscher etc...). There is no such thing as the Amora Gem that looks most diamond like. Diamond are all cut differently, and as a result they all vary in optics.

That said, the easiest way to make sure that people think your AG looks the most diamond-like is to pick a cut that people are less familiar with, such as the asscher. Because people don't see a lot of those cuts, they won't notice that your AG asscher shines more than an asscher diamond, where as they *might* notice with a round AG (actually I 99% doubt it, but for examples sake..) considering that they probably see an exponentially greater amount of diamond rounds than they do asscher diamond.

But honestly, there is such a difference between a well cut moissanite (AG) and a cheap (easy to spot) CZ. The AG will have a skick/wet, deep, appearance. Cheap CZ's just don't exhibit these^^ quality that translates to people as making a stone "real".

Too bad I don't like asschers. Ha! I know what you mean. The sparkle is okay, but the fire that throws off colors in certain lights is what I'm talking about. So, say a krupps. It faces up white and clear as a diamond or asha in the sun/ in mood lighting. As an AG then I don't really want the colors from the fire too much, bc then it would look "off". To me, that would not look natural with that type of stone. With the round/princess, there is a certain amount of color sparkle from the extra fire, but just guessing I'm thinking the princess may actually show that less and just look extra sparkly.

Maybe I need to wait and look at the videos when people start to get them....I just thought other people might also have thoughts on this.

You may be over thinking this. I really don't think anyone is going to notice the extra fire. Well, they will notice it as in they are going to see a gorgeous sparkly stone and they will assume it is a diamond (as long as it is a reasonable size for your budget/lifestyle), possibly the nicest diamond they have ever seen. Generically people don't even understand what fire is, nor would they notice it specifically as opposed to brightness or sparkle, etc.
WE here notice and use words like 'fire' but IRL people aren't looking for fire as an optical indicator of whether a stone is a diamond or not. Besides, the average diamond isn't all that great and that is what most people are used to so anything nicer (be it a nicer diamond or Amora Gem) may be noticed more.

Yeah, I know I'm over-thinking it. I'm totally obsessing actually. I will say, though, that like I said earlier I do notice the extra color-y fire in my round C&C, and the AG will also have that kind of fire. In my original e-ring, the two things that bothered me about the stone was the color the untreated moissanite has (fixed with AG), and the crazy colored fire I'd see like at a restaurant with mood lighting. If all the cuts will have that same effect I might as well go with the round again. I just don't know.

I was just hoping that in the krupps or the princess I'd find less of that "color" fire, but I don't know that I'm going to be able to tell until people start showing pics/video of the different cuts. I really wish I could see them in person TBH. I'd be able to tell pretty fast. My husband wants me to go look at diamonds to see what shape I want and I tried to tell him it's apples to oranges. Basically I can have whatever cut I want and that's "the" upgrade and that's it.

I would just go with whatever shape/cut stone you like more, because be it a princess or a round, AG has over 200% more fire than a diamond. It's inherent in the stone. If that's a problem (really!?!!) you can simply buy me one

I'd love to! (If I had the mula for two).

Since I'm a total Type A personality,I just went and looked at my unenhanced C&C under a spotlight lamp and now I'm wondering if the issue I have is related to the J/K color rather than the fire of the stone.

My thinking process was I was planning on getting the round because it's an easy traditional choice and what hubs preferred. I love the H&A round diamonds. Then I considered the cushion b/c I love the vintage look, but decided want it in an antique cut not H&A, so went back to round. Then, I saw the cuts of the AG Krupps and Princess and died over them both....THEN, I saw the Tacori 2620 with the Krupps diamond 9X7 about a month ago on Pricescope and ever since then have been drooling over that. Both the round and the krupps look fab in that setting (and the princess looks good too), but in different ways. So, I don't know what cut I'd like better as of now. I will say I lean toward antique style in liking the cushion and also liking the vintage style of the setting, and so all three cuts in a way meet that for me.

I was trying to find another factor that would help me decide, and that's where the fire thing came into play. I do think that point about them being a slick/wet/deeper appearance helps a little, in that I often associate that with a krupps anyway.

I might maybe you just need to stop putting pressure on yourself about it so much. If I were you, I would look at your home, your cars, your clothes, and try to get a sense of your over-all style. Is it modern, clean lines, fresh? Is it rustic, antique, faded? Maybe it's bubbly, bright, and girly?

Then think about the stone that fits in line best with who you really are. If all of your style in these areas of life seem to lean a certain way, you'll learn what might make you happiest in a ring. I think it's important to pick a stone shape first, and then the setting. I think it just makes it easier to focus.

I'm definitely going to look at pictures more once they start production. In terms of personality though I'd have gotten a vintage cut cushion first choice, but that's not an option. In terms of personality, I lean toward the round or krupps for personal preference, I just like the princess how it was done for the AG.

Amora Gem is not Moissanite. It is made of the same elements, silicon and carbon, yes, but with a different crystal structure, so AG is a completely different crystal.
