MrsGotRocks MrsGotRocks Connoisseur Registered: 03/27/09 Posts: 2197	I started this topic on ashas and interlaps (another well performing cz by Winfield Jewelers) being the most realistic sims because I noticed we had so many new members asking about the believability of ashas and interlaps and how they compare to a natural diamond. Most of these posts are ones that contain accounts on how jewelers, family and friends were fooled by either stone. I'll add more as I find them. Members, please feel free to add others you come across. Here are some older posts for your research and reading. Some contain mentions of moissanite as well. Happy reading! This thread has great testimonials on all pages on asha & interlaps but I started it on the 3rd page (see 4th post down) b/c it had one of the best examples about how ashas are so diamond-like: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/126537/fpart/3 Wink weighing in 3rd post down: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/348785/fpart/1 Cricketgrrl's, 9th post down, but also the whole thread: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/351664/fpart/1 Another: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/120768/fpart/1 MissDymonds666, 1st and 4th and 5th post down on the asha EC: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/355974/fpart/1 MrsMike_C's, 5th post down: http://www.betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/401137/fpart/2 asha OEC w/ vid in post: http://www.betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/412288/fpart/1 Chebella's Princess louped by a jeweler, 3rd post down: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/...4209#Post474209 Another Chebella princess and a gemologist: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/...5614#Post505614 Emilybemilyboo's asha OEC fooled jewelers: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/455138/fpart/1 Julieinkc's post: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/...4918#Post344918 Rachel's asha princess and jeweler, link to her ring on pg.3: http://betterthandiamond.com/discussion/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/507581/fpart/1 ETA: Added several more links.

It just makes me fall more and more in love with asha's and especially the OEC! $;\)$ _________________________ http://www.youtube.com/user/HeyGatsbyTV

chebella chebella Mentor Registered: 04/07/03 Posts: 888	What a great idea. Thanks so much for your hard work, I think this will help everyone, old and new! What do you think about adding one more about the longevity of each type as well. That seems to come quite often too. Just an idea, what do you all think??
