is Asha? I really wanted moiss enhanced but for the size I wanted they were 1k which I can't spare right now (going back to school). I was going to do Asha but 300 still seemed high so I went looking at a local department store and found these babies. They look awesome is Asha really superior?

I really don't want to take them off. This is just to show the size. I guess they're close to a 1.36 ct square brilliant.

Those pictures are from my phone. I think they're princess cut but it doesn't say on the box. Just came with a little pamphlet about how they're superior cut, the most similar to diamonds CZ can get. They had bigger square cut that were cheaper but the cut was really low quality had a blatant X across the middle. These are beautifully cut and a great size smile

P.S they look WAY better in person. My phone is focusing on my hair/skin not the earrings.

I'm charging camera now this is just a video from my phone. Sorry for the close up on my head I didn't know where the lens was versus my earring. I don't even want to take them off I love them so much.

I can't comment on the cut, because I really have not spent a lot of time looking a SB or princess cut stones. They look pretty and sparkly to me though. smile

"Superior" is all subjective think. I would say the biggest reasons Asha is superior, in my eyes anyway, would be the more natural colours available, F-H vs D, and that the coating keeps them cleaner longer. The biggest complaint about CZ, besides the cut, is that it gets dirty so fast and needs a lot of cleaning to sparkle...and in your ears, with hair touching it and face oils etc, you will notice they get dirty pretty fast.

They look lovely. I agree with jcent, Asha being superior depends on your criteria. They are the most diamond like CZ I have personally ever seen in person (I hear Wink's CZ's are just as good though optically), but yours look very nice. I hope you continue to love them and wear them every day! ^_^

I don't like my asha studs much. They are a nuisance to keep clean and are no way as nice as any of my moissanite stones.

I think you did well with your earrings! I am sure they were a better price too smile
