• Beautiful! But but be mindful of wear and tear.

  By Unknown on 23rd Dec 2017

  I have the 6.5 mm Hearts and Arrows round in my engagement ring. I have been wearing it daily for almost 5 years now. I will say first of all that it is a beautiful product. My grandmother, who owns a lot of fine jewelry, commented that it was the most beautiful diamond she'd ever seen. :)
  
  However, I am probably looking to replace the stone in the next couple of years. I've worn it constantly and have been hard on it--admittedly probably too hard. I have some chips at some of the facets of the stone, and a scratch across the top. I have not made any attempts to be very careful of the stone, either, though. I imagine if I'd removed it while doing projects around my house and so forth, it most likely would have held up better.
  
  It was a great value, though, and it looks indistinguishable from a diamond. I would recommend it and would buy it again. I'd just be a little more careful next time.

• Very good product - but out of stock all the time

  By GIA Gemologist on 2nd Nov 2015

  Need 9.5mm, 10mm
  Out of stock for 9mm all the time!
  If it is not "out of stock", I can give a 5 stars.
  As a Gemologist, I think it is one of the best diamond simulant that mankind have ever made. It can not fool a gemologist, but it can fool thousands of other people.

• 1 year ring-versary

  By Francesca on 30th Jul 2015

  I have been holding out on a review in order to really test the stone. (Keep in mind I do work hands on everyday)
  THIS RING IS AWESOME! I work 5-6 days a week mostly with my hands and haven't seen a single scratch or dulling in the stone. The only thing I could see as a problem is if you don't have a solitaire, as i have noticed if I don't clean it often it will seem dull. Cleaning a solitaire takes me fifteen seconds, so it does not bother me at all.
  I deal with about 300+ people a day, and an guaranteed at least three to five compliments. Most asking how recent I was proposed to because it's still so sparkly!
  This ring is amazing! Not to mention ethical!

• Beautiful, but seeing wear and tear...

  By AScratchICantItch on 9th Jul 2014

  I have a 2ct Asha round set in the Tiffany reproduction ring. It was holding up well, but now, at the 15 month mark, there is a scratch across the table, and a small chip at the edge. Of course, nobody can see it unless they are closely inspecting the stone...but I know it is there.
  
  My ring goes through normal wear and tear. I have a desk job. I don't do much hands on stuff with the exception of carrying groceries and laundry baskets. Not exactly going rock climbing with my ring on, you know?
  
  The advertisement is correct in that the aesthetic quantities of the stone are fabulous, but keep in mind that it is not indestructible. Even real diamonds can chip and scratch.
  
  Unfortunately, the return policy is 40 days which isn't enough time to assess durability.

• Fooled the Jeweler!

  By Emily on 6th Mar 2014

  For my birthday a few years ago, my father gave me an heirloom ring. It's a gorgeous intricately made art deco solitaire ring, made of 18K white gold, from the 1930's. A true work of art and craftsmanship.
  
  I've kept it tucked away for a few years, thinking someday I would have a real stone put in the ring. I recently began shopping around for a diamond, only to be shellshocked by the pricetag associated with a 7mm H&A round brilliant cut diamond.
  
  When given to me, it had a 'dummy stone' (a pink plastic stone that had seen better days) and while I wanted to put a diamond in the setting, I can't justify the $10K+ expense.
  
  Upon doing some research, I landed on the Asha. It was the perfect way to do justice to my heirloom setting without breaking the bank.
  
  I took the Asha and my setting to a local upscale/well-known jeweler to inquire about setting the stone. I never revealed it was a sim, simply referring to it as a "stone" for the sake of gauging his reaction.
  
  He was enthralled by the stone--looking at it with his loupe, going on about how clear it was, admiring the brilliance and lack of flaws. He then got up to take a closer look in another area (perhaps a diamond tester?) and came back and asked if it was a "CZ." I explained it was an Asha, a very high quality simulant diamond.
  
  He said he was very impressed by the stone--and remarked of the quality of the Asha compared to other CZs he has seen. He even mentioned he was thrown because most "CZ's" are marked as such, which the Asha is not.
  
  I returned not long after to pick up my ring and it looks amazing---the Asha sparkles in that heirloom setting like a diamond. Best of all, it's my little secret that it isn't, in fact, a diamond. Fooling even a seasoned jeweler was enough to make me feel confident in my purchase.
  
  Overall, I had a wonderful buying experience and will be back again for another Asha!
