Astro Cut™ or H & A cut? GHI or DEF? Stone size? A Detail guide for first timer

 

COLOR


For color, DovEggs use F-G in GHI and D in DEF, so you will not able to see any obvious yellowish in either color option,


It is more of a personal preference from the customer feedbacks as we found from customer feedback, but GHI does become more popular because our higher quality standard on color and it is more cost friendly.

 

 


Stone size


It is always difficult to find the right size. However, we do have some suggestions for you on choosing the perfect size.
1. Go to a jeweler to try different carat sizes to find your perfect size, do remember to ask the measurements of the stone, different gemstones measured differently, moissanite is measured by mm, so please make sure you know the measurements of the stone. For the mm of different sizes of moissanite, please check here: https://www.doveggs-seattle.com/collections/loose-moissanite

2. Draw or use a paper to cut into the shape and size, visualize it on your hand. We found lots of customers using this way to find their perfect size and not a one go wrong, we know it is kind of funny, but how creative it is!
