"I've seen many fine diamonds in person.  The Asha� outperforms them in
appearance, due to its ideal cut and flawlessness. Though stated that the
Asha� is G color, when set it appears "D" to my eye, even against a white
background. I have no doubt that anyone who sees this ring will think it is
an exquisite diamond. "

The Asha� gems arrived today and I am stunned. I had extremely high
expectations after all that I had read ... so I was prepared to be
disappointed in case the Asha� was far brighter in my head than it could
possibly be in reality. But I was shocked at how it lived up to its promises.
I tried them on immediately and I noticed just how everyone was highly
distracted by my earrings. This continued on the streets and all around.
The gems attracted attention all across the restaurant where I was having
dinner.  It was incredible!  The "liquid mercury" look is all that you had said -
the lustre is very much adamantine, the visual clarity is breathtaking...
Incredible.

I have received numerous compliments on the Asha� since its arrival.
People have actually stopped me in our local store after being struck by the
brilliance the Asha� puts forth! This happens everywhere I go! ... The
Asha� looked better than any of the genuine Diamonds I recently examined
(just for fun & comparison) at a very famous up-scale jewelry chain!!

I got the gems this afternoon- I am still in a state of shock because I
cannot believe how gorgeous they are!! The [Asha� hearts and arrows]
round is UNBELIEVABLE!! I took it out in the sunlight and I am telling you,
you cannot tell the difference- the refractions are so true to form for a
diamond. The round sparkles so much that at times, I couldn't look directly
at it in the sun, and I could even see the "arrows"!

BetterThanDiamond.com was a pleasure to work with. Fast, friendly service
and they were available to answer all of my questions.  The Asha� gem is
beautiful and they did a great job mounting it in my wife's setting. First
class internet business.  I expect them to be around for a long time."

I finally managed to see my jeweler, [edited for privacy].  He was, by the
way, very impressed with the cut of the stone and pretty much flipped over
this previously unheard of Asha� gem. He even called the Gem Institute (?)
[GIA] to ask them about the stones, he was that intrigued.  Anyway,
everyone in the store agreed that the stones were something special.

I told them [jewelry store staff] how it [Asha�] was comparable to a heart
& arrow's diamond except in hardness and they said "Well let's just see".
They then laid it on some round black thing and put a round black loupe
over it and all I heard was "OH MY GOD" and I thought, what are they
doing? Well, after the owner of the store came over and looked at it they
let me look and I could see the hearts on one side and then they flipped the
stone over and I saw the arrows going all around it....  I could tell by the
owner of the jewelry stores eye's she was shocked over the Asha�!"
