BLACK DIAMONDS AND NATURAL DIAMONDS

These are made from carbon and is the hardest natural known substance on earth. Certified GIA, IGL, EGL, or DGI. Stones are guaranteed and certified. Natural diamonds are created over a period of one to three billion years, at least 85 miles below the earth's mantle under natural conditions of very high pressure and high temperature. They lasted that long which is why, DIAMOND IS FOREVER. Natural diamonds will come with a GIA certificate.

Will it pass the diamond test? Heck YES!
Are these certified? Yes. Clear stone with over 0.50 ct will come with a GIA certificate but all our black diamonds will not come with a certificate.

MOISSANITE

These beautiful stones are a near-colorless gemstone that’s composed of silicon carbide- an extremely rare, naturally occurring mineral. It has a similar appearance to a real diamond and is the only gemstone that passes as a diamond on a standard handheld diamond point tester. Our moissanites are more heat resistant than even diamonds, meaning that even if they were in a fire, they would still retain their sparkle and form. They have a Refractive Index (RI) of 2.65 whereas diamond’s RI is lower at 2.42. Moissanite has an extremely high level of brilliance and excellent light performance. This is one reason it is a favorite stone in engagement rings as it has much higher brilliance and fire than a diamond. The hardness of a diamond is about 10 and moissanite is about 9.25. Our moissanite has its unique waist code, and it is certified by the international famous professional appraisal organization and the global gemstone Research Association (GRA).

We only use D-F color with VS1 Clarity. Will pass the diamond test. More brilliant than a diamond at a fraction of the cost. Black Diamonds- New York Moissanite is among the hardest minerals on earth, more durable than sapphire, ruby, or emerald.

HPHT DIAMONDS (High Pressure High Temperature Diamonds)

These are lab-grown diamonds that are created using the high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) method. This method involves subjecting a small diamond seed to extreme heat and pressure, which causes the carbon atoms in the seed to bond together and form a larger diamond. HPHT diamonds are typically yellow or brown in color, although they can also be colorless or near-colorless. HPHT diamonds are typically more expensive than other types of lab-grown diamonds, such as CVD diamonds. This is because the HPHT process is more energy-intensive and requires more specialized equipment. However, HPHT diamonds are also considered to be more durable than other types of lab-grown diamonds.

Will it pass the diamond test? YES!
Are these certified? Yes. Stone with over 0.50 ct will come with an IGI certificate.
