Man Made Diamonds also known as Synthetic Diamonds or Cultured Diamonds are real diamonds that are both optically, physically and chemically identical to a natural diamond. These diamonds are grown in a lab environment that simulates the earths natural growing process. Synthetic man made diamonds are identical to earth mined diamonds and are solid, real man made diamond. MiaDonna's line of man made diamonds will absolutely test positive on any jewelers diamond tester.


Colored man made diamonds are lab-grown diamonds that possess the same sparkle, brilliance, fire and hardness as earth-mined diamonds. Each diamond is carefully and individually cultivated into some of the most rare and desirable colors.

What makes our fancy colored man made diamonds so unique is that each diamond is grown individually depending on the desired size and color. These diamonds are not mass produced and are grown one at a time. By applying the appropriate pressure and temperature for common carbon to rearrange its atoms, carbon will change its phase and re-form into a diamond crystal. The result is a superb rough diamond crystal that can be cut and faceted like a mined diamond.

Colorless man made diamonds are an exciting technology that is truly on the brink of some major breakthroughs that will improve their availability, clarity and will eventually be a more cost effective alternative. Right now they are about a "J" in color and "IS" in clarity, limited small sizes (under 0.65ct) and are nearly the same price as their mined counterpart.

We make it our priority to stay at the forefront of this technology and look forward to future advances in this science, until then, the most brilliant and beautiful COLORLESS man made diamond alternative is the MiaDonna™ Simulated Diamond Hybrid®.
