Hi all! My SO and I have decided on an Asha but we are setting it next to natural pave diamonds. I'm a little worried that next to the natural diamonds, the Asha won't look as real or you will be able to see the difference. Anyone own an Asha ring with real diamonds on the setting that I can see pictures of?

Also, I will be buying from ashadiamonds, I believe, and was wondering if the H or the F/G would be the better choice with my setting to look the closest to a natural diamond. Thanks for your help ya'll!!

I do not have an Asha but I have seen pics of what you are describing. Honestly I can not tell a difference. I know some will chime in and better answer your question. Just wanted to say welcome!

have you browsed through the AshaDiamonds.com / MoissaniteCo.com gallery ?

some of the rings have Moissanite centers, others have Asha centers, and it's not just rings, but you'll be able to see all sorts of pieces with all sorts of side stones:

and some of the rings on the BTD website have videos of the rings, set with Asha center stones, and natural diamond sidestones.


here's my ACC Asha with diamond halo, taken in crappy lighting:


and in prettier lighting:


the diamonds in my ring aren't the best quality, but it's only something i can tell in these super-magnified photos.

um... not sure what you mean. that's a LOGR setting - not something i'd suggest as a wear-everyday-for-forever piece, but i love their rings for the occasional jewelry splurge.

my ring is a rose gold version of this one.

Wow, you must have been lucky to get one of the nice ones, because I've read reports that quality can be a hit and miss with LOGR.
