Hello everyone!!

I'm looking for loose diamond for my engagement ring.
But we dont have a big budget so My boyfriend and I decided to buy Stimulamt Diamond for now!!

I researched a lot then I found Mia Donna.
Has anyone bought Mia Donna Hybrid diamond?

If someone has that hybrid diamond, could you pleas tell me how well the Diamond hybrid hold up over time? Does it get cloudy or become no longer brilliant?

This is the most I want to ask.......
If I bought hybrid diamond then I made my ring, will people find out that the stone is not earth made? 

Pleas let me know!!!
I need Your HELP!!!!

Thank you

Mia Donna and Diamond Hybrid are both Asha, but at a higher price. You can buy Asha from here, betterthandiamond.com or from ashadiamond.com at a much better price. It is the exact same product, just resold by a reseller under different names. But all oft he stones come from BTD.

They are cz, coated in diamond essentially. They will not cloud and they look very diamond like. There are tons and tons of pictures of Asha are here, so you can get a good idea of what they really look like.

Or you could try moissanite, which technically is it's own gem. But asha is great too. If I were going with a sim (which I am), I would get a moissanite, asha cz, or wink cz.

Welcome to the boards, Milly.

An Asha or Wink CZ will not cloud ever. But many of us have found that they are susceptible to tiny scratches on the surface, and over time those add up to become visible with the naked eye. Many people replace them every few years if they are in a ring that gets daily use but not abuse (taken off for cleaning, gardening, etc.)

If durability is a concern for you, check into Moissanite. The current best version is Amora-treated Moissanite and is a nice improvement in whiteness over traditional untreated versions. Moissy can really take a beating and still look new ten years later, even under magnification. A member here recently bounced a Pyrex baking dish off her ring, and the casserole dish shattered but her jeweler confirmed that her stone didn't even scratch.

There is a ton of Asha vs. Moissanite info here, so just do some searches. You're going to find that there's no real "yes" or "no" consensus between the two. They're all lovely in their own right and which you choose will depend on your color and sparkle preferences, lifestyle, and budget.

Hey! Welcome to the BTD boards, glad to see you on here!

Honestly, people with both Asha and moissanite have fooled many people (including jewelers!!)! For me, the Asha just looks so real and the sparkle of moissanite is unmatched! There are many threads out there of Asha (and moissanite) owners describing their experiences with how people can not tell it is a diamond alternative. One way that people can tell that it is not a diamond is that moissanite will test positive on a diamond tester, but will there are special testers to distinguish between moissanite and diamond. Asha will not test positive for diamond though.

Anyway - I hope I answered your questions a bit - I'm sure there will be more ladies on here with more experience than me to help you out!

Thank you very very much everyone!!'
I'll check asha!!!!

Does anyone have a picture??

Milly, there's a customer gallery here.

Lots of asha and moissanite to perve on.

Good luck!

There are so many threads of pictures - that thread that JuBe posted is great but also if you go to the top of any page and do a custom google search you will find lots and lots of results!

Here is a gallery of Moissaniteco and Ashadiamonds customers pictures! There are also lots of moissanite and Asha pictures over here:
