Gem quality synthetic diamonds are more available in today’s jewelry marketplace than ever before, causing both interest and concern among jewelers about the material’s nature and whether it can be identified by gemologists or gemological labs.
Gemological Institute of America has studied synthetic or "man-made" diamonds extensively over the past 30 years, and GIA knows a great deal about how they are produced and can be recognized. While synthetic diamonds are lab-grown or factory produced, their chemical and physical properties correspond very closely to those of natural diamonds.
Some people might refer to synthetic diamonds as imitations or simulants, but this is incorrect. Imitations like cubic zirconia or synthetic moissanite, which only look like diamond, have very different chemical and physical properties. This allows trained gemologists to recognize them readily. However, synthetic diamonds are much harder to detect.
In some cases a trained gemologist can recognize these synthetic and treated diamonds by using standard gem-testing equipment. In other instances, positive identification must involve testing the diamond using advanced scientific instruments at the GIA laboratory. At GIA, they have created a large database of information on the gemological properties of diamonds of all kinds, which can be used to help develop additional means of diamond identification.

This ring that I bought came out very stunning. I ordered it and it got delivered the day after. I compared it to other jewelry stores on malls and on other websites and it just proved that I had a very good deal!
nice one!
It is a gorgeous earring. I am so glad I have it. I look forward to buying from you again!
A high quality pendant, even better in person. My girlfriend loves this. Thanks
My wife could not be more happy with this ring! She literally gets compliments everyday! It was also great working with Sam, he was super helpful.
I just received this band and I want to tell you that I am very satisfied. It matches my engagement ring. I wish we found this website before we bought the ring. We could have saved more.
My fiancé proposed last weekend and my ring is absolutely beautiful... It is perfect polishing and stting job I have received compliments from my co workers on the diamond and the setting.
this is a very beautiful ring, way over par to my expectations
I've been looking around for this ring for months and you have the best deal for it. I didn't believe it at first that it is the same thing, but when I saw the consignment ring you sent me: It's the one! That is a good risk free option right there.
I was nervous to buy diamond and ring setting online but when I got the ring my fear was changed to happiness. They really gave me what they described on their website: clarity, color, cut, and the size of course. It is just perfect!
The ring is perfect! It is everything that we were looking for. I couldnt have asked for an easier shopping experience. Everyone who sees it loves it.
