Does anyone know of a manufacturer/supplier of lab created or simulated diamonds that is NOT Nexus Labs. Basically, I am looking for a quality "fake" so to say...I don't want to offend anyone who is a die hard diamond fan but to be honest, I'm not really into the real thing. So, if you can direct me to any websites, or stores, etc...that sell high quality simulated diamonds of some sort, that would be great!

I recommend Asha simulants 1st (www.betterthandiamond.com) and Winfields brand cz (Wink Jones, www.freecz.com) as a very close 2nd. Both are exceptional. Here's a link to pics and a video comparing several Old European Cut diamonds to a loose Old European Cut Asha. (note that the diamonds are L-M color and the asha is H/I color)

Ashas are outstanding and mimicked the diamonds in every way - though I sell diamonds and am biased in their favor, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend ashas as the best sim on the market today.
