after reading this review i was curious about Asha stones. i have been trying to design a ring for a while and was just discouraged at the cost of the genuine stones that i was looking at in the cuts i wanted. the custome work plus the stones would've made the total cost $20,000, maybe slightly less if i didn't get platinum and went for a J stone instead of a H or G, SI1, with a decent cut. i wanted at LEAST two carats but would have to go smaller to save money. and i don't wanted fancy colors. fancy color synthetic diamonds would make the cost lower too. too many things to give up that i'm not willing to give up!

if the Asha has the same look and you can't easily tell it from natural diamond, then this is the way to go for us. i might want to do a review. i've looked at some many natural stones my eyes are crossed.
