It seems almost impossible to watch TV or open a newspaper without seeing something man-made diamonds. For hundreds of years science has tried to create a synthetic diamond perfect. Finally, 21st century technology has made it a reality perspective.
There are many reasons to purchase synthetic diamonds instead of the variety clearance. The prices charged for the diamond mines are in the best verbiage, an illusion. To put it more bluntly, Cecil Adams, in his award-winning newspaper column "The Straight Dope" says: Â "Diamonds are a scam, pure and simple.Â" Diamond prices are largely controlled by the cartel DeBeers diamonds, and are not a true reflection of the scarcity of diamonds. Furthermore, studies show that one in three diamonds sold in the U.S. Today has been modified to artificially increase its value. Other studies have shown that on average a couple pays 40% too much for their diamond engagement ring.
Beyond fixing deceptive pricing, there are issues of diamonds "blood", forced child labor, and a myriad of other disturbing diamond facts.
Recently, socially conscious celebrities such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Minnie Driver, and Angelina Jolie have made a vocal issue of using only synthetic diamonds at a gala dinner attended by many.
Good synthetic diamonds are virtually indistinguishable from the mined variety, but without the baggage, and also cost thousands dollars less. But, that synthetic diamond is the best option?
There are many types of human or synthetic diamonds available. The options information are numerous, but unbiased is scarce. Here is a summary and comparison of the synthetic diamonds currently unavailable on the market:
Zircon
The grandfather of simulated diamonds, Zircons are available widely. In their best examples, are CZA actually a fairly decent diamond replica. Unfortunately, the commodity-like availability and vast differences in quality have made the stone synonymous with low-cost fashion jewelry. Perhaps a good choice for cheap bling, but not for fine jewelry. Many sources are available, one is decent: http://www.czfantasy.com
Russian Diamonds
Diamonds Including Russian, Russian Stars and others, are in fact nothing but high quality cubic zirconias. This is not mentioned prominently on their websites and only police that when pressed, but that's the reality. Russian diamond simulates are priced around $ 280 per carat.
Russian Diamonds are a selection of fine jewelry and are usually mounted on the quality precious metal settings.
Russian Diamonds are one of the best and oldest sellers of "Russian Diamonds" available at: http://www.russianbrilliants.net
Moissanite
Moissanite is a lab created mineral that is a very good diamond simulator. Moissanite has been on the market as an option for jewelry fine from the 90s and has recovered quite a few fans. Moissanite is a hard mineral that, like diamond, cut glass. There are a few minor inconveniences to Moissanite however. First, it is quite expensive (though still cheap compared to diamonds) usually on price $ 500 per carat for good samples.
Secondly, moissanite does not have the same optical qualities as diamond and there are several indicators that make them easy to detect with the naked eye by a doctor experienced. It is difficult to produce a pure white moissanite and they often appear slightly green when viewed in natural light. Also, moissanite has significantly higher radiance and brilliance factors then natural diamond, making it appear a "too sparkly" to some. In general, however, Moissanite is a beautiful selection of synthetic diamonds.
 "Moissanite From the skya" in http://www.fromthesky.com is a good source of fine Moissanite jewelry.
Diamond Nexus
Gemstone Diamond Nexus are the result of a scientific breakthrough relatively new processing technique, and only recently have been available in the United States.
Nexus gemstones are diamond simulant diamond excellent and very close to matching the properties of mined diamonds at many different comparison points. They crystal, which are virtually identical to those of diamond on the Mohs scale (hardness) scale. That refract perfect "hearts and arrows" and have radiance and brilliance readings extremely close to flawless diamond.
Best of all, they are currently introductory priced for the U.S. market and are a bargain at $ 79 per cursor. Diamond Nexus gemstones are only available precious metal, solid gold.
Diamond Nexus is only available in the Diamond Nexus Labs at: href = "http://www.DiamondNexusLabs.com"> http://www.DiamondNexusLabs.com
White Sapphire
Sapphire is the second hardest natural mineral on the Mohs scale, surpassed only by diamonds. They, unlike others in this review, a natural stone. Its luminosity and brilliance are not up to standards diamond embargo. Nevertheless, quality white sapphires priced at around $ 220 per carat of diamonds are a good alternative.

Cultured Gemisis Diamond
Gemisis diamonds are beautiful and almost perfect diamond replicas. Unfortunately, not available in a light color, white, and therefore are not a good choice for traditional diamond settings. However, if a diamond yellow, orange or pink, is what you crave, Gemisis offers impressive options on metals beautiful beautiful fine jewelry.
Gemisis cultured diamonds are only available in: http://www.gemisis.com
To recap:
Synthetic diamonds offer many advantages over the variety of mines. You can buy with confidence, knowing that you are getting exactly what you paid, and have not been the victim of diamond pricing traps. If you are concerned with the world around you, you can have a clear conscience, knowing that their money has not contributed to the support of an unethical and abusive industry.
However, there are many choices of synthetic diamonds, with varying degrees of quality. Take some time to review the information Sellero for a clear idea of what science is behind the gemstones you are buying.
For my money, I think the best choices are quality Moissanite stones or precious stones diamond new simulator available from Diamond Nexus Labs.
