Simulated diamonds are the new rage

WISCONSIN, USA (Commodity Online): A revolutionary new technique is being used to create a diamond simulant with a real diamond coating. It is called nanocrystalline diamond coating technology.

Genuine diamond, created in a laboratory, is infused into high quality, certified cubic zirconium.  The entire surface of the gem is coated with genuine diamond and has the identical optical and physical properties of a real diamond. 

Compared to a real diamond, with a mineral hardness of 10 (mohs scale from 1-10), the simulant ranks 9.7. The clarity is nearly perfect, like a real diamond. The gem is completely colourless, ranking ‘D’, the highest on the diamond scale from D-Z. Like a perfect diamond, the colourless simulant reflects white light into a prism of colour, creating highly desired fire.

The ability to manufacture the preferred size and shape for the perfect cut makes the process extremely cost efficient, so consumers pay a tenth of what they would in purchasing a real diamond.   

In comparison, a regular cubic zirconium, also marketed as a Russian diamond, ranks an 8 on the Mohs scale, so it is susceptible to chipping and scratching. Another simulated diamond on the market, Moissanite, ranks 9.25 in hardness but is lacking in color, and has a detectable double refraction and remains a high-priced alternative to natural diamond. 

The diamond coated simulant is being marketed under the name Diamondelle and is approved by the Earth Friendly Foundation.  In addition to saving consumers money, simulated diamonds do not contribute to the environmental destruction and human devastation caused by the mining of diamonds in third world countries. 

Diamondelle offers a wide variety of simulated diamond jewelry for women and men, including rings, earrings, and pendants, in a wide variety of settings.  As an introductory offer, many items will be specially priced.  Each item is packaged in a rosewood box.  All items come with a 30-day money back guarantee and a lifetime warranty against, chipping, cracking, scratching, clouding, and fading.  Diamondelle is backed by third party test data and certified by the most respected labs in the world.
