Without a doubt, this is the best diamond alternative available today and is established as an affordable diamond substitute.
In 1937 the cubic form of zirconium oxide was discovered by two German mineralogists. In the 1970's when Soviet scientists learned how to "grow" this mineral in a laboratory it gradually became popular with jewelry designers.
Gemologists agree that a simulated diamond is the finest diamond alternative because it comes closer than any other gem material to matching the characteristics of a diamond.

APPEARANCE
The simulated diamond looks almost exactly like a high quality diamond, and the overall effect is so similar that most people, even trained gemologists, cannot tell the difference with the naked eye.
HARDNESS
With a hardness rating of 8.5, a simulant comes close to matching diamond's perfect 10.
It will even scratch glass, just like a diamond!
WEIGHT
A 6.5mm simulated diamond is equal in size to a one-carat diamond and actually weighs about 1.75 carats.
CLARITY
The finest simulated diamond is perfect in clarity as it is grown in a professionally controlled laboratory environment and your simulated gemstone will remain sparkling clear with regular cleaning. It can be worn everyday and will never get dull or change color.
CUT
All of our simulates are premium faceted stones and with its hardness and clarity it allows intensive precision faceting such that the hundreds of facets in trillion, quadrillion, and radiant cuts equal the brilliance of diamonds.
CHEMICAL COMPOSITION
Zirconium oxide stabilized with magnesium and calcium. By using carefully controlled high purity ingredients and additives, our stones rival the color and brilliance of the best of genuine diamonds.
One of the properties that makes a genuine diamond so endearing, is its ability to refract a ray of light into colors of red, orange, green, yellow, violet and blue.
Our stones have a refractive index of 2.18, very close to a genuine diamond, which is 2.42.
