• Breathtaking Beauty and Authentic Diamond Look!

  By Unknown on 16th Oct 2013

  After years of extremely discouraging shopping for a larger emerald cut stone, I was resigned to the fact that I would literally have to shell out thousands of dollars to get the carat weight and quality I wanted....which would be a while off financially for my husband and I, and even then, it would be on the small size as far as what I was looking for. Until I found BTD, where my dreams of a 1.5 carat emerald cut came to life and I didn't even have to go into debt to get it! The Asha is a beautiful alternative that doesn't put a hurting on your wallet. My jeweler literally would not believe it wasn't a diamond. Having the setting guide was a HUGE asset and appreciated by the employees. I have every confidence in this stone, it is an amazing piece of jewelry that I adore! And can deeply appreciate for its beauty, quality and value! Thank you BTD!

• Still beautiful after all these years

  By Rhode Island Redhead on 11th Sep 2011

  I first stumbled upon BTD back in 2003 or 04. We had saved some money for my engagement ring, saw this site, then I ordered this and the radiant cut in version 5 E color. I have to say that the emerald cut is my favorite by far, although I got it in the Emerald Tiffany Setting, which I'm not 100% pleased with since I can't wear my wedding band next to it, which we had already purchased months before, so I have to wear it all by itself. But the stone is so beautiful and every time I wear it, its like I just got it because I can't take my eyes off of it!! I turn it this way and that way when I'm sitting in the car at a stoplight in the sunlight, or casually put my hand out the window so I can glimpse it in my rearview mirror and see that sparkle in the reflection. I stare at it all the time!!! I JUST can't take my eyes off of it!! Oh, its so beautiful! I especially love that its an E color since I wouldn't be able to afford even a 1/2 carat emerald cut in J color so I feel happy about that. I got it in the 2.10 carat weight and its the perfect size for me and my hand. It looks believable, and no one questions it. They just say its beautiful and I'm lucky. I'm always wondering why more women don't like this cut. Its my favorite cut and when I got engaged we looked for emerald cuts but the first emerald cut we looked at was a one carat with a chip in the middle of it and the jewelers had the audacity to ask $4,500 for it, and my husband just turned around and walked out of the store, leaving me standing there, and that was the end of our looking for rings. Luckily, I discovered this site before they raised their prices of gold and I could afford the rings and I got my dream emerald cut. Just wanted to say that BTD is the best, the Asha's are the best and have gotten me spoiled. No other diamond simulant can hold a candle to Asha. I LOVE MY EMERALD CUT!!!!!!!!!

  I'm the very very happy owner of a 2 ct. emerald cut ring. It is absolutely gorgeous and I'm so happy to have exactly what I've always dreamed of without wearing the equivalent of a car on my hand. Thank you so much for the joy you've provided

• Proud owners & skeptical no more

  By Unknown on 23rd Jun 2010

  My Husband and I would like to express our gratitude for your company and product. We have been researching, shopping for, and reading about Emerald cut diamonds for some time which is why we decided to give BetterThanDiamond, Inc. a try. As you know, a 2.10 excellent quality Emerald would have cost us upwards of over $23,000. We only wanted the best and decided not to settle for anything less. We had resolved ourselves to the fact we could not have what we truly wanted because of the price range of what our "dream" diamond was. Then, we had the great fortune of happening upon your website while browsing.
  
  My husband I are now the proud owners of an absolutely exquisite 2.10 ct Emerald cut Asha® Diamond and we owe that to you. We have spent hours studying the stone actually *trying* to find something wrong with it or evidence that it is a simulant. Today is a cold, winter day in Indiana, but the sun is extremely bright . I have held the stone in direct sunlight and am amazed at the range of brilliant, rainbow-spectrum colors it produces. This is evidence of a well-cut emerald. The symmetry is exceptional as well, which is of paramount importance to us.
  
  It was crucial to my Husband and I that this stone look as natural and perfect as an actual diamond. We were very skeptical before receiving your product as we are card-carrying, flag waving, die-hard diamond lovers and like to fancy ourselves to be somewhat "amateur connoisseurs".
  
  Now that we have received the Asha Emerald cut stone, we know that there is absolutely no way anyone will ever be able to tell this is not a genuine diamond. We will be successful in "passing it off" as a natural diamond and that simply amazes and pleases us to no end.
  
  We cannot adequately convey our gratitude in words, but hope this will suffice.
  
  Your company and product are simply outstanding and have offered this modest-salary Midwest couple, who happen to adore diamonds, the opportunity to be something special in a "sea of ordinary".
