  • 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 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 14 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) - however, the difference lies in the angles, proportions, and symmetry of the facets.  
    These difference 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 time due to the precision required.  Learn more here.

Version 5, Asha® Rounds:

Important note:  We earlier shipped all Asha rounds with laser engraving and an independent grading card (sample shown above).

However, the gem lab we had been working with was bought out by a larger company and closed 
(literally while the new batch was at their office), leaving us currently without a resource to laser engrave or card.  
Thus, while the Asha's have been color graded, they will not ship with either a card or laser engraving.  
We have factored this into the new pricing for the Wholesale Direct pricing below.  

Wondering what size would work best for you?  Here are two links that can help in that decision:

 

News: 2/04/08:  version 6 Asha is now available for specific sizes (currently 1.25ct).
