Diamond matching rings for couples simulants can be defined as stones made in a laboratory and not solely from carbon crystals as lab diamonds and naturally mined gemstones are. Diamond alternatives include synthetic Moissanite (tm) and Nexus Diamond(tm).

 The lab creates diamond simulants to manipulate their characteristics in an attempt to replicate the colorless, perfect, and durable qualities of a flawless diamond.

 LAB CREATED DIMENSIONAL APPEARANCE couples jewelry

 Diamond imitations can be higher-quality than some natural diamonds. Natural diamond engagement rings are usually rated G or VS1 (color and clarity) - which means they're slightly yellow with a few small flaws. A diamond-simulant ring is not always as well cut.

 The exact chemical composition will determine the quality of the diamond replica. Diamond Nexus lab alternatives, for instance, are created using a patented formulation, which is chemically different than a natural diamond. In the lab, it is also created to be perfectly colorless, internally faultless and Ideal cut. The stone's qualities will last over time just like every single natural diamond. Quality of man made diamond replicas can vary depending on how the stone is created in the laboratory.

 They are environmentally friendly, ethically produced and have the same advantages as diamonds in terms of their quality. Unlike diamonds mined conventionally, lab-created simulants don't depend on strip mining and its associated pollution or poor working conditions.

 Because the stones aren't mined, the consumer doesn't need to worry about the ethical and environmental concerns associated with the blood diamond trade.

 Lab diamond simulants also offer the same peace of mind and beauty as natural, ethical diamonds without the high cost. Nexus Diamond alternatives are up to 80% more affordable than traditional diamonds. If you are wondering what to spend on an engagement, these alternatives may be a good solution.

 Cubic Zirconia: What's the difference? Lab created diamonds

 The most significant differences between lab-created diamonds and cubic zirconia are their uniqueness in color, clarity, durability and weight.

 Although cubic zirconia is a very beautiful stone, its color and clarity do not always remain the same over time. Because the chemical composition of the stone is porous, it is susceptible to pollutants or contaminants found in the environment. This causes the stone to cloud, discolor and fade away from its brilliant whiteness.

 Nexus Diamond alternatives, for example, are made to be internally flawless and colorless. This is because they are composed of a special chemical structure which allows them to keep these properties forever. Nexus Diamonds are made to last, they're guaranteed not to crack and have an heirloom quality. In contrast, cubic zirconia has a lower Mohs rating than Nexus Diamonds. It can chip from normal wear even after only a few months.

 Weight is another very important aspect. Cubic zirconia weight is 75% greater than diamonds. The gemstone can be heavy and uncomfortably so. You'll also need to use stronger metals to hold it. These stones not only look clean and pure, they also feel it. There are engagement rings and earrings with opulent, man-made imitation diamonds, as well as statement necklaces. These will be stunning to wear.

 Selecting a Diamond That Will Last A Lifetime

 Diamond jewelry can be a highly personal investment. You can't tell anyone else which stone you should choose or why. Consider the many options that are available when shopping for diamonds, diamond simulants and other gemstones.

 Research diamond alternatives before purchasing an engagement ring. Do not be afraid to ask lots of questions to your jeweler! Make sure you are happy with your choice.

 A precious gemstone can be a sign of love, an heirloom for the family, or a long-term investment. Wearing jewelry daily, like an engagement ring, will allow you to see that stone all the time. This piece can collect memories and more meaning every day. Find the diamond ring of your dreams, one that will last you a lifetime and retain its brilliance.
