I’m interested in the differences in terms of cost, durability, looks, and value. Also if you have any information about “green” (environmentally friendly) diamonds, it would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know if Moissanite jewelry is all “lab created”? And if so, why is it so expensive?

I have been looking at Moissanite jewelry lately, because they say it sparkles more than real diamonds. But if it’s not “real” (fake, like Diamonique or Bella Luce or Signity — made in a lab cubic zirconia-style), how do they get away with charging so much for it?

Synthetic diamonds?

saintsantiago asked:


After watching the movie “Blood Diamond” and doing a lot of research, my girlfriend and I are ethically opposed to the purchase of mined diamonds. We are in disdain of the following:

1) Death and carnage of innocent Africans in the conflict diamond trade.
2) The greedy, monopolistic practices of the DeBeers diamond cartel.
3) The artificial scarcity of diamond supplies created by said cartel, which keeps prices high.
4) The bombardment of diamond advertising and celebrity lifestyle which put millions of people deep into debt.

I would like to know what are the highest quality synthetic diamonds available and if anyone had purchased these diamonds online or from a dealer. So far I have fond these sites online:

Diamond Nexus Labs
Russian Brilliants
Carat* Hong Kong

Any other recommendations?
Oh by the way, to Miss Randi L, who called me a cheap SOB…it was actually HER idea to go with a fake diamond, not mine. So save your hate emails.
