Just curious.. what does the water do on a natural diamond?

It runs. It beads up on a CZ.

So does the ASHA not cloud and scratch like normal CZ? A jeweler told me today a CZ is a CZ no matter what they may try and say and it will cloud with regular wear as a CZ.

You can look through some of the long time members' posts here and see that their ashas have not clouded. The fact that they are still here and are buying ashas attests to it's durablity and wear. As for scratching, it depends how hard you are on your ring. Diamonds and all sims will scratch if you ding them just the right way.

I baby all my rings and so far, all my ashas are pristine!

Thank you! That's what I was hoping to hear from someone who owns an ASHA.

cool!

Your jeweler who told you this is about 30 years out of date and needs to do some continuing education. When CZ's first came out in the early 70's this was true, but it was soon discovered how to stabilize the CZ and reduce the size of the pores in the crystaline structure of the stone. Normal CZs do not cloud up any more.

Scratch, yes, cloud, no.
