1What are the differences between Eternity Hearts&Arrows and new Soaring Hearts Amora gem?
All certificates 8.000.000 and higher are the new Eternity Hearts&Arrows cut with a vertical faceted girdle (64 facet vertical girdle, 4 girdle facets per crown, just like H&A natural diamonds), which is also noted on the certificate. The new Eternity Hearts&Arrows gems are richer in appearance due to the quite new nanometric polishing process. The arrows are closer to the usual H&A diamond style to maximize the fire and brilliance, plus the angles were uniquely developed by using the world's best modeling software to maximize the fire and brilliance. Newly, GIA Research will measure Amora gem's dispersion index ("fire"). This value is the measure of how much white light passing through the crystal is split into it's spectral colors, producing the desired "colored flashes" or "fire" in a gem
2Is Amora gem the same gem as Moissanite?
No. Moissanite is 6H polytype; 6H polytype cannot achieve colorlessness. Amora gem is a different polytype with optically different properties compared to moissanite. The specific gravity of both moissanite and Amora will be the same because they are both composed of 50% silicon and 50% carbon. It's their structure that is different, not the atomic composition. As with diamond and graphite— both are made of 100% carbon, but based on how the carbon atoms are arranged, they are very different crystals.

5Amora gem care guide
Amora Gem is a true 'forever' gem that you will pass down to your children. However, for Amora Gem to look its best, you have to ensure no buildup of grease, lotion, hard water, etc. that otherwise creates a layer between you and the Amora Gem. In general, Amora may be cleaned just like a diamond but here are some general tips: 1 - Weekly cleaning - an overnight soak in a solution of warm water and hand dishwashing soap will help to break up resident grease. While grease builds up quickly on diamond, fortunately, Amora Gem has different properties, so your Amora can stay more sparkly between cleanings since grease (skin oil, lotion, etc.) will not buildup as rapidly. Regardless, a once a week overnight soak will prevent longer term build up and keep your Amora looking great. 2 - Hard water buildup - occasional cleaning - We recommend a periodic soak in a solution of warm water and 1/4 to 1/2 vinegar to combat and remove hard water buildup. Most water contains calcium which will be deposited onto most gemstones over time. As a ring is run under water, even when towel drying, water will evaporate but leave behind the calcium carbonate (limestone) that will begin to build up on your gem. This can create a whitish haze layer and/or a rainbow effect in some cases, but in all cases reduces the optical clarity of the gemstone. Worse, the buildup often occurs underneath the prongs where it can't be towel dried, and that layer can begin to impart color to the stone. Vinegar is acidic, and thus attacks the base pH of calcium carbonate, removing it. Caution: vinegar can attack weld joints to some degree, so for rings with weld joints you will want to minimize how long the ring itself soaks. Thus standing the ring upside down with a solution just high enough to cover your gem will keep the ring weld, commonly at the junction of the prongs and ring shank, out of the solution.
