The diamond crystals infuse into the upper layers of the seed and with each other to give the MiaDonna simulated diamond hybrid an outer layer that is an infusion of man made diamond crystals. This is not a film or a polished diamond coating. Our outer layer of lab created diamond will never wear off or detach from the seed.

The MiaDonna simulated diamond hybrid is the world's diamond equivalent to the cultured pearl. Our simulated diamond is composed of a non-precious core stone that we call the seed. Using diamond infusion we apply a layer of man made diamond crystals to the outer layer of the seed. | Properties | MiaDonna Diamond Simulant |
Moissanite | Summary |
| Color | D to F Colorless |
J Tinges of yellows and grays |
MiaDonna is not only optically identical to the finest earth mined diamonds, but it is far superior to moissanite in color. |
| Cut | Ideal H&A cut. Superior | Cut to correct its doubly- refractive index. Not good | MiaDonna simulated diamonds grade excellent to very good on the AGS cutting scale. Moissanite needs to be cut differently than a natural diamond to correct is doubly-refractive index and minimize its blurred or duplicated appearance |
| Index of Refraction |
Excellent 2.42 | Avg, 2.67 looks blurry | MiaDonna is the only diamond simulant that has an identical index of refraction to an earth mined diamond |
| Fire/Light Dispersion |
Excellent 0.044 Identical to a natural diamond | 0.104 Doubly refractive, glossy and unnatural | MiaDonna is the only diamond simulant that has the identical Fire/Light dispersion of an earth mined diamond. |
| Clarity | Internally Flawless to VS2 | VS1 to VS2 Very low range of clarity | MiaDonna diamond simulants are far superior in clarity tan moissanite and almost always come back with a VVSI or better grading. |
| Outer Layer Hardness |
9.6 to 9.7 | 9.25 | The outer layer of the MiaDonna simulated diamond is harder than moissanite. The overall hardness including the core stone is 9.1. |
| Cuts Glass | Yes | Yes | Glass has a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs scale. CZ is 8.5 and cuts glass. Cutting glass is not a good qualifier to indentify quality products. |
| Polish/ Symmetry |
By diamond powder. Excellent | By diamond powder. Varies |
MiaDonna diamond simulants have perfect symmetry and polish. |
