It looks like a beautiful set. How do you find the clarity? Do you have to clean it often? Does it get cloudy easily due to needing to be cleaned? Just wondering how it compares to Asha.

Clarity is great...truthfully I barely ever clean my rings and they I've not seen them get cloudy and I have a bad habit of leaving them on when I shouldn't sometime. I will try the flower setting.

I took the pics outside...beautiful day in Texas. I will try one inside with the flower setting.

I'm not getting it. Tomorrow I will try a video... it looks very similar to the link above & the princess setting in person.

This is the best I can do with my camera...I just do not have the skill for these things lol.

I'm curious about these circled in red....... anyone have any idea why a Princess cut exhibits these? Does a Winfields, Asha or even diamond show this effect?



Bling?!? You're our princess expert.

Looks to me like it is an effect of the camera being very close blocking light getting into the stone and therefore and obscuring light return. This happens with diamonds too.

You can see it very minimally in the Asha closeup in VB's photo, although not nearly as pronounced.

I thought as much, but remember seeing that on another generic CZ once - not close-up - and wondered if it was something to do with cut.

Thanks goblue. My interest in these stones has piqued a bit. I like that they're Canadian although I'm not crazy about the price of their settings.

It would be interesting if, down the road, someone who has purchased Quorri and Asha could post a comparison of them.
