The Diamond Hybrid - Eco-friendly and 100% Conflict Free

Have you heard about the diamond hybrid? If you are looking for an environmentally and socially responsible diamond alternative that won't cost you a small fortune, take a look at the diamond hybrid. It is the diamond equivalent to the cultured pearl. The diamond hybrid is composed of non precious core crystals which are combined with infused amorphous diamond, which is man made. During the creation, a core stone, we call the seed, is wrapped and layered with an amorphous diamond composed of tiny diamond crystals. It is then put into a chamber of intense heat and pressure. This process infuses the diamond crystals into the upper layers of the seed, fusing the diamond crystals together resulting in the final product. The result is a diamond hybrid that has the same characteristics as a diamond. The diamond hybrid has a color grade of FG and comes with a lifetime warranty against color changes or loss of brilliance.

Created diamond has carbon bonds, just like a natural diamond. However, it is created using modern methods sparing the land from environmentally disruptive mining. The outer surface hardness of Diamond HybridTM is approximately 9.6 on the Mohs scale, natural diamond is 10. Diamond HybridTM, like natural diamond, does register the diamond signature on a microspectroscopy test (lab test to identify and chart the presence of diamond). Unlike other simulants that register a false positive, Diamond Hybrid registers clearly and precisely the diamond signature present in the stone's make-up. However it will not test as a natural diamond on a thermal tester.

With the money you save on a diamond hybrid, you can indulge in the ring of your or her dreams! Elizabeta Jewelry offers a free 1 carat diamond hybrid with the purchase of an engagment ring! If you would like to shop, click on the blog entry title to be redirected to Elizabeta Jewelry.

Moissanite Engagement Rings

Are you guys feeling the pain of our economic downturn? Whoa! I thought I would take this time to tell you a little more about moissanite, an economic alternative to diamonds. It is silicon carbide and it is the new up and coming diamond substitute. Moissanite was first discovered at a meteor crash site, but the pieces discovered were too small for jewelry. So once manufacturers figured out how to duplicate moissanite in larger sizes... voila! We now have moissanite jewelry! Moissanite has the highest refractive index making it the most brilliant of all jewels. It is similar in color to an I color graded diamond. Because they are man made, they have excellent clarity. Charles & Colvard is the primary manufacturer for moissanite intended for jewelry, and Elizabeta Jewelry uses only Charles & Colvard. Rest assured this premier company offers lifetime guarantees on their stones. So if you are faced with an engagement ring purchase but can't quite scrape together enough do-re-mi for a diamond, moissanite is an excellent alternative. Since you won't spend most of your budget on the diamond, you can buy the perfect ring. If you or your significant other has their heart set on a diamond, you can always upgrade to a diamond down the road when finances are more stable. Don't let emotional diamond industry marketing (they are genius, aren't they) stop you from popping the question sooner rather than later. Moissanite is truly beautiful!
