Lab-grown
diamonds
These diamonds are
chemically, physically, and optically identical to mined diamonds. They
are created in labs using extreme pressure and heat, or a deposition process
that mimics the natural formation of diamonds. Lab-grown diamonds are
usually 60% to 85% less expensive than natural diamonds of the same size and
quality. All of our Sona diamonds are lab-grown diamonds.
·
Cubic
zirconia
A cheap, short-lasting
simulant diamond made from reacting zirconium dioxide. We don’t use cubic zirconia in any of our custom jewelry.
·
Moissanite
A
rare natural mineral that was originally created by a meteorite and can now
also be made in a lab. We use the highest quality Moissanite in our Moissanite
jewelry and each piece comes with a GRA Certificate.
Other types of
man-made diamonds include: Marquise diamonds, Heart diamonds, Radiant
diamonds, CVD diamonds, and HPHT diamonds.
