Yay!!! Can’t wait to see your Emerald Cut!
She compared Tianyu and Amora on page 1 of the StarsGem thread. I don’t know that she ever put the Amora and AV head to head, but I could be wrong. Her Amora was an E but I’m not sure about the AV. I can do some more research over on WB too. She and I have chatted EXTENSIVELY about all her stones. She’s my guinea pig
That is interesting!!! Because I got a colorless AV but I feel like it has some body color depending on the lighting. In any case, I don’t feel bad about not getting an Amora! Thanks for sharing this.Ok, I don’t want to thread jack. But I went back through my convo with @Lucky_Rabbit on WB. Oh my gosh we have some long threads.
@swaye2010 you’ve got an amazing memory!
Long story short, she got an E Amora and a near-colorless AV and the AV was actually whiter. She said the arrows are barely bigger on the AV and the culet is just slightly smaller. Aside from that they’re basically identical.
I know she had the AGS 000 from MoCo at one point but I believe it was before she got anything else, so nothing to compare it to. Way early in her H&A journey. Lol. Pretty sure she returned it and basically washed her hands of MoCo like so many others have.
Yeah...totally agree with both of those points! I was on the waitlist for an emerald Amora and after a year...nothing. Asked Less and he was just rude!
They're here! And OH MY they are GORGEOUS
The pics aren't great, but the fire these things give off is insane. I remember opening the box that contained my WF ACA studs years ago, and these look no different. They are truly spectacular, and are the perfect replacement for my studs which I have missed so much, as I could never fork out that kind of $$ on bling nowadays. The settings are perfect and super secure. I'm really really happy! Thank you so much @Rhino and Vicki!!
ETA - please ignore my horribly dry scrub nurse hands!
Honestly, I felt MoCo was kinda hit or miss with their CS when I emailed; I don’t like to name names but I didn’t like one person from there. And I’ve seen some of the comments on that other forum discussing Amora. I didn’t realize that guy was the owner! Lol, I just thought he was the admin of that board.You’re welcome ladies! It is odd how the color works. I prefer a warmer stone, so I may even be inclined to go down to an I-J with AV! I will say I’ve chatted back and forth with Jonathan before and he’s been amazing and so helpful, professional and informative. He really bends over backwards to help his clients, and I told Lucky Rabbit that based on his customer service alone, I’d pay the premium to purchase from him if I chose to go with a NA company. MoCo doesn’t deserve my dollars, and I’m ambivalent to Amora. Their restocking issues and condescending entitlement on their talk.jewelry forum is very off putting though. You know with Jonathan you’ll get a high quality product, and he’s not happy until you are. AV for the win!
I never made an account on there but there were multiple times I felt his attitude was off putting, just from reading.I just wanted to say that you and your wife are class acts. Thanks for “liking” my photos. I really am obsessed with my moissanite and am super close to buying a OEC in the future!
I have an AVR that is I/J color and I love love love it, though I am not really color sensitive. I really think that the AV cuts are the best I’ve seen. And I’ve had a few...or many
Thanks @Rhino for perfecting this cuts.
We’ll be waiting together! I can’t wait!
Beautiful moissy and setting! Just lovely!I've been trying to get some good photos of my new baby before posting here, these aren't super but I am eager to share! 7.5mm AVR G-H moissy in an 18k Stuller crown set by AV's bench. I am blown away by the fire of this stone, have to keep trying to get some better pics. This was my first moissy AND my first old cut and I am so happy with it! Thanks @Rhino !

Quick question. How do you think the I-J would be in a white gold setting? Possibly 14k unplated but still undecided on that. Now that I’m reading the AV near-colorless is actually whiter than an E Amora Gem, why pay the premium for a higher color if I don’t have to?
Feel free to share pics!

It’s coming tomorrow!!! It will be loose as I’m sending it to David to be set. I still haven’t completely made up my mind on the setting. I think I’m going to go plain but am still looking. I already have tapered baguettes in my ering so won’t do it on this one..I was thinking French cuts on the side but not sure..I’ll post photos of it loose tomorrow before I send it to David!Yay!!! Can’t wait to see your Emerald Cut!
Yay!!! So happy to hear that your stone is coming; I can’t wait to see how it looks!!! I know you’ve been wanting an EC for a while. I don’t think you will be disappointed.

$520ish with the discount. So I think it was the same, since isn't the AGS000 100 more than the regular H&A F1? If yes, it would make it $515, which might as well be exactly the same price.
You made the right choice.
Like I said before, visually I was unimpressed with the AGS 000. The AV is so worth it!!!
