Okay, so I know my boyfriend has received my engagement ring, which he ordered on Ashadiamonds.com. I am expecting a proposal any day now and cannot wait to see the ring. But today I was reading some recent threads where people thought their Asha looked fake based on the color. Some said it looked too white and others suggesting getting a "warmer" stone.

How do I know what is the color grade of my Asha? I looked on ashadiamonds.com and I couldn't find that info anywhere.

Now I am slightly nervous that I will think mine looks fake. I have never seen an Asha in person.

Your Asha will either be F/G or H, depending on what colour stone your bf ordered.

Well I asked him what color he ordered and he said that was not an option. He just chose the setting, size of the stone, and palladium as the metal. He said he did not have the option of choosing a color for the stone.

Any idea what I am getting??

Probably F/G. Most stones do have an option though, but they may have been out of stock on something.

Don't be too worried that it will look fake, some people (like me) really like the F/G look, and like whiter stones. It really just looks like a whiter diamond

Well I am about 99% sure he got the Esmeralda setting with an oval diamond. I looked at ashadiamonds.com and it says that all of their ovals in stock are F.

How white does F look?

And if it is too white, what are my options? They don't have any H or I ovals in stock to swap it out.

Suggestions?

I don't have a suggestion, but my DIAMOND is an E and I couldn't love it more. The only thing that would improve it, is if it were a D :-D

I have noticed that I am color-picky.

That being said, I also "love" my warmer colored Asha,and it is going into a yellow gold setting, to play up the honey.

I know it's tough, but just wait and see what you think, I am
SURE you are going to love it !!!!!!
And remember, diamonds can be really really white too !!!!

I've only seen color choices for Ashas on BTD, not ashadiamonds or WinkCZ. If the stone looks too white for you when you get it, I would get the Amora. I personally don't think the Ashas look white at all, to me they look steely and very diamond-like.

It seems alot of people here like either the "cooler" or "warmer" stones.

I have an F/G and I am in love with the color. To me, it's perfection. However, I am one of those color-sensitive people who is not really a fan of "warmer" stones. I just prefer that pure colorless look.

So, I guess it really depends on you. Some people like it better, and some prefer the H color. And there are some that will say they really can't tell the difference anyway

Yup. I am one of those who LOVE warmer stones. They also look much better on me (I have warm undertones).

I chose an unenhanced moissanite OEC as I want it warm, warm, warm. Indeed, now that I know Amora Gem will be cut in an OEC, I had to go and make sure I got a pendant and studs with unenhanced OECs too out of fear they won't be available when the Amora Gem comes out (which will be an F, way too high for me!)! My bias is admittedly high as I prefer coloured stones, very warm diamonds, or fancy coloured diamonds.

Asha would not work for me even at an H as it is too white. However, there are plenty of people here who think there is no such thing as too white!

You will only really know until it is on your hand!
