- You will be pleased or a full refund will be promptly issued:
- See our satisfaction guarantee here - you must be thrilled with your purchase, or we will gladly return your funds.
Lower pricing! In order to answer our customers #1 request of lowering the price of Asha without sacrificing quality,
(and in opposite of Moissanite's recent price hike) we have introduced an additional 25% price reduction
We are able to offer this due to manufacturing efficiencies gained by our increased volume of rounds, and by our no longer offering the lifetime limited warranty.
Customers who purchased before May 24, 2005 are still covered by the original Asha lifetime warranty.
Purchases from 5/24/05 and forward still have the 40 day return policy with no lifetime warranty (but lower purchase price).
- Learn more about Hearts and Arrows (H&A) cuts -
Heart and Arrows, Ideal cut, and standard round brilliant all have the same number of facets (57).
The difference lies in the angles, proportions, and symmetry of the facets.
These differences result in widely differing brilliance (light return), with H&A offering the best light return in exchange for significantly more weight lost during cutting, and substantially more cutting precision required. Learn more here.

Jeweler flipped over the Asha
By Unknown on June 23rd, 2010
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 how it 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!"

We love it!
By Unknown on May 17th, 2010
We purchased your Asha H&A round brilliant, version 6, and we love it!
My husband was a skeptic until he saw your stone.
We would consider ourselves to be above average in knowledge when it comes to diamond and we own many diamonds ourselves. We want your future customers to know that your product is worth the money!
I went to the mall and several high end diamond stores and Asha outshines and outsparkles many of the real diamonds.
One of the top end diamonds out there is the Hearts on Fire brand that touts that they are the most perfectly cut diamond available with the best brilliance, fire and scintillation. Well, we went and compare the Asha to the Hearts on Fire and the Asha looks just like theirs! The minor difference is that the scintillation is very, very, very little bit less than their best 2 ct Hearts on Fire diamond.
This greatly impressed me and I want to say that I love your product and this is one of the best purchase decisions I have ever made.
In every jewelry store, every manager and sales person commented on how beautiful my "diamond" was and they commented that it is a very high quality. One lady in the jewelry store came over to look at my Asha and my Asha was sparklier and had more fire than hers.
I have tested the Asha in most types of day light and inside the building lighting and in every instance, it mimics the real diamond. I do notice that it has a slightly more mercury color to it than my genuine 1.25 ct excellent cut princess diamond in G color and VS1 clarity.
This is such a minor, minor difference and not noticeable unless you really look. This Asha looks just like a real diamond and no one thought that it was a simulant.
My husband and I are so amazed and I am so very, very happy with my husband's purchase of this ring for me as my anniversary gift.
I highly, highly recommend your product to anyone out there. You will save so much money and you will love the way it looks.
This is a very high quality product with the brilliance, fire, and scintillation that is at the top 2% of all genuine diamonds out there! Everything on this website is true and the pictures and videos does not do it justice of what the stone really look like. The ring itself is also so high quality and well made.
Thank you Better Than Diamond. We will come back for future business.

I LOVE THE ASHA DIAMOND
By Unknown on March 18th, 2010
I just received the Asha diamond a few days ago & I would like
to tell you it was the BEST decision I have ever made! I was tossed
between a real diamond, Moissanite, & your Asha. I narrowed it down to
the Moissanite & the Asha, because the 2 carat diamond price was a
little out of league for my fiancee budget at this point. I have been
researching both simulant diamonds & it was a tough decision because I
have heard such good things about both diamonds. So in the final week of
my decision I went to a Moissanite retailer to take a closer look at
them & I was impressed. They were pretty bright & shinny, the only
disadvantage was it was an ( I- J ) on the color scale. EEEWWW who would
want a diamond in those color ranges? Then when I found out the Asha
came close to the ( D- F ) color range I was thrilled! Funny the
Moissanite on the web site looked a lot whiter, so I am glad I went to
take a look at them at the store. I couldn't find a store that sold your
Asha diamond, but based on researching about it on the web site, that
really helped my decision. Of course I picked your Asha diamond. When I
saw the FedEx truck I was so EXCITED!!! When I opened it, I was soooooo
overwhelmed. I was so glad I chose the Asha instead of the Moissanite.
The Asha blew the Moissanite away by far. I so wanted to go back to the
Moissanite store & show off my Asha diamond. The Asha was a better
price, cut, polish, sparkle, clarity, & color. Thank you so much for
your time & your products. You have the greatest customer service/staff!
I will be buying more from you in the future & my friends will too =)

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!
