What to Upload to SlideShare. A few thoughts on work life-balance. Is vc still a thing final. All I can say is that in gemstones, a subtle difference can make all the difference between looking like a fake and fooling someone who deals with diamonds every single day.

Equally important is to get a setting that you would get for a diamond and BTD has a great offering of settings. Mind you, once you factor in the setting, the Asha earrings were not cheap so you should treat them like any other piece of expensive jewellery. My experience with the Asha was very positive and I would recommend the Asha to anyone who is considering a lab-grown gem. Buying an Asha will probably give you all of the satisfaction of buying a diamond but at a fraction of the price.

And even if you have decided to invest in a natural diamond for your e-ring, you should still consider an Asha because it is a great option for those looking for a travel ring, right-hand ring, earrings, or pendant.

Version 1 The Asha was developed in order to remedy the problems faced in a typical cubic zirconia such as color change and becoming cloudy over time. Version 2 Having successfully achieved the color that was desired, the Asha was already able to fool the majority of consumers. Version 3 In version 3, the Asha really started to come into itself when it was given a hearts and arrows cut.

Version 4 After V3, BTD began experimenting with different types of coating in order to enhance to optical properties of the Asha. Version 6 The current version of the Asha, and one which my wife is a proud owner of, is primarily improved due to a new optical layer that goes in between the cubic zirconia core and the ADT coating. Image courtesy of Less from BetterthanDiamond The benefit of this new optical layer is increased lustre and sparkle but this comes at a cost as the process introduces some feathering of the cubic zirconia core making the clarity in most version 6 Ashas to be in the VS range compared to the internally flawless V5s.

Version 7? Here are the technical specifications for the gems I will be comparing. Everything else seems fairly comparable. These shots are meant to show you that an Asha can be just as a bright as a diamond. Price To just be compared to natural diamond is a compliment to any lab-grown gem. Buying Experience Before you decide to buy an Asha, there are just a few things that you should be aware of.

I clean them frequently. I also have Moissanite which is a bit harder than a CZ but not as hard as a diamond. I think if you follow the above "rules" a cz can look good for several years.

CZ's are inexpensive enough to replace every few years if need be. Last edited by a moderator: Jan 29, Michelle Mentor Jun 15, I wore an asha every day for 2. I've also had a moissanite for 2 years now with no issues. Yet I killed a diamond in 6 months The life expectancy really depends on how you treat your ring, and what you do with it on. I only wear mine out, I take them off as soon as I get home, and I work in an office on the computer most of the time, so my rings don't get much abuse other than the metal filing cabinet that killed the diamond.

DD, if you look up Chebella's posts, she has one on the durability of her asha. I think she wore hers all the time for a period of 5 years in all kids of situations. She includes pics of her asha princess, too. It looked great. I'd look it up but I'm on my way to my son's baseball game in a few. I have 2 ashas but I've only had them since Feb and March of this year.

I suppose that may have something to do with the need to distinguish between Asha and Amora, as there was no Amora back then. Three years ago I took some of my jewelry, including the Asha, to another jeweler in order to trade it in towards an eternity ring. They too thought it was a diamond. The only apparent difference between the Asha and a diamond is weight -- the Asha's much heavier. But it's not at all obvious on initial examination. I can't understand why people are spending money on moissanite for the modern cuts when Asha is so affordable.

I have yet to see a moissanite that looks anywhere near as diamond-like. What am I missing? Related topics:. What is a Princess cut diamond? Joined Mar 11, Messages I think a lot of folks have had issues with the coating coming off.

Also, Asha is quite expensive for what it is, a CZ. With the Chinese moissanite becoming more popular, a lot of people will opt for that IMO. About a third of Asha.
