About the MiaDonna Diamond Simulant

If that isn't enough, MiaDonna goes one step further in helping rebuild the lives and lands of those most hurt by the earth mined diamond trade. (Please see http://www.thegreenerdiamond.org)

Not since Mr. Mikimoto invented the ‘Cultured Pearl’ has the jewelry industry been so revolutionized. The MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid is the diamond world’s equivalent to the cultured pearl. It is made with diamond, which is why it possesses the same characteristics as earth mined diamonds.

We use only solid gold, platinum or palladium for our magnificent settings accented with natural diamonds. Yet for all their glittering beauty, the MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid is offered to you at a fraction of what an earth mined diamond would cost, with the same or better integrity, clarity, brilliance and luster as that of its natural cousin. The MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid perfectly mimics the diamonds crystal structure resulting in a virtually identical look as fine diamond.

MiaDonna Diamond Hybrids are truly in a class of their own and are even more beautiful than most earth mined diamonds on the market today. They are cut individually by hand and each MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid takes our diamond cutters 8 times longer to cut a "Hearts and Arrows" round stone than to cut a typical round earth mined diamond. For every one thousand earth mined diamonds that are cut, only one will achieve the same level of cut as every single MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid. (diamond cut details) And of course, the MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid is always guaranteed to be 100% conflict free.

Every order at MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid comes with an official card of authenticity offered by a world renowned gemological laboratory stating what makes a MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid. You can also order an individual grading card from the gem lab, grading your finished jewelry using the same qualifiers as earth mined diamonds. This is amazing because until now this level of grading has only been available to earth mined diamonds and therefore is a huge honor for the MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid.

At MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid, domestic shipping with full insurance is always free, along with a 15 day money back guarantee.
