Diamond couple rings set Simulants are lab-created stones, which are not exclusively made of carbon crystals. This is different from lab diamonds that are mined naturally. Diamond alternatives such as synthetic moissanite and Nexus DiamondTM are all lab-created alternatives to diamonds.

 In order to create diamonds that are colorless, flawless and durable, labs have created simulants.

 LAB CREATED APPEARANCE OF DIAMOND matching jewelry

 Diamond replicas can sometimes be better than natural diamonds. Natural diamonds, on average, are graded G for color. They're also rated VS1 for their clarity. They also don't always have the same cut quality as diamonds.

 However, the qualities of the diamond mimic will vary depending on its exact chemical makeup. Diamond Nexus, for example is a lab created alternative that uses a patented formula. This makes it chemically differ from a real diamond. It is also manufactured in the lab so that it's completely colorless. The stone will maintain its quality over time, as every natural diamond does. Other man made simulants may vary in quality depending on the composition in the lab.

 Aside from the quality advantages, diamond simulants also produce in an environmentally friendly and ethical manner. Unlike diamonds produced by conventional mining methods, simulants created in labs are not dependent on strip-mining, which is associated with pollution and poor work conditions.

 As the stones have not been mined, customers don't need worry about the ethical and ecological concerns that come with the blood-diamond trade.

 Moreover lab diamonds can offer you the same beauty, security and comfort that natural diamonds do, without the expensive price. Nexus Diamond alternatives cost up to 82% less than traditionally mined diamonds. These alternatives offer a fantastic solution for those who are trying to decide how much they should spend on an Engagement Ring.

 Cubic Zirconia Vs. Lab created diamond simulants

 The main differences between cubic zirconia simulants and lab created diamonds are their unique colors, durability, and weigh.

 Even though cubic zirconia looks beautiful, it may not maintain its clarity and color over time. Because of its porous chemical composition, the stone can be affected by pollution and contaminants. This causes the stone discoloration and clouding, gradually changing from a brilliant whiteness to brown or muddy yellow.

 Nexus Diamond is a diamond-like simulant that is colorless. In addition, their chemical structure allows them maintain these qualities permanently. There is also a noticeable difference in terms of durability and hardness. Nexus Diamonds alternatives are heirlooms, guaranteed never to crack, designed to last forever. On the Mohs Scale of Hardness, cubic zirconia rated lower than Nexus Diamonds. It's possible that it will chip even after a couple of months.

 The stone's weight is a very important characteristic. Cubic zirconia has a weight 75% higher than diamonds. This makes it uncomfortably heavier to wear. In contrast, diamonds, or other lab-grown simulants of diamond, are lighter. They feel as if they are pure and transparent. You can still find statement necklaces, engagement rings, and earrings in opulent settings, with man-made diamonds.
