We would like to introduce to you the biggest secret in the jewelry industry. We offer one of the world's finest diamond alternatives that is made using a very pure form of lab created diamond that is infused into its outer layer and is produced possessing the finest cut, color and clarity available that is graded by an unbiased Diamond grading and analysis lab the Global Gemological Laboratory.

MiaDonna & Co. uses a portion of the profits from the sales of the Diamond Hybrid® to aid in helping rebuild the lives and lands of those most hurt by the mining of diamonds and precious natural resources through The Greener Diamond Foundation.

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. Just as a Cultured Pearl contains an inner core with a layering of nacre, the hybrid contains an inner core with a layering of our enhanced lab created diamond.

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. Simply put, there is no other white man made diamond alternative, grown or simulant, being produced right now that mimics the true brilliance of a fine diamond better than the Hybrid that is readily available in the most desired shapes and sizes.

Our Diamond Hybrid® is truly in a class of its own. These Hybrid stones are cut individually and by hand taking our diamond cutters 8 times longer to cut a "Hearts and Arrows" Round Brilliant stone than to cut a typical round earth mined diamond. For every one thousand earth mined diamonds that are cut, only one will ever achieve the same level of cut as every single MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid®. And of course, the Diamond Hybrid® is always guaranteed to be 100% conflict free and is an Eco friendly green product.

At MiaDonna & Co, domestic shipping via UPS with full insurance is always free, along with a 15 day "In your Hands" money back guarantee and a full written warranty.
