What is 5A Cubic Zirconia?

5A Cubic Zirconia refers to a high-quality grade of cubic zirconia, which is a synthesized gemstone made from zirconium dioxide (ZrO2). The "5A" rating is used to denote the highest quality of cubic zirconia, exhibiting exceptional brilliance and clarity comparable to many diamonds. This grade is often indistinguishable from diamonds to the untrained eye and can be mistaken for genuine diamonds by many individuals. However, professional jewellers can differentiate between 5A cubic zirconia and diamonds based on specific characteristics and testing methods.

What is Lab-grown Coloured Gemstone?

Lab-grown coloured gemstones are gemstones that are created in a laboratory environment using advanced technology to replicate the natural conditions under which gemstones form in the Earth's crust. These gemstones have the same chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical properties as their natural counterparts but are produced in controlled settings. They can exhibit a wide range of vibrant colours and are considered ethical alternatives to mined gemstones.

 

What is Lab-Grown Diamond?

A Lab-Grown Diamond, also known as a synthetic diamond or cultured diamond, is a diamond produced in a laboratory rather than being mined from the Earth. These diamonds are created using either High Pressure High Temperature (HPHT) or Chemical Vapour Deposition (CVD) methods, where carbon atoms are arranged in the crystal structure of a diamond over time. Lab-grown diamonds share the same physical, chemical, and optical properties as natural diamonds and are considered environmentally friendly and ethically sourced.

What is Moissanite?

Moissanite is a naturally occurring silicon carbide mineral that was first discovered in 1893 by French chemist Henri Moissan. Moissanite crystals are rarely found in nature but can be synthesized in laboratories to create gem-quality stones. Due to their hardness (9.25 on the Mohs scale) and brilliance, moissanites are used as diamond alternatives in jewellery. They exhibit exceptional fire and brilliance and are a popular choice for those seeking an affordable and durable alternative to diamonds.

Does Moissanite pass a Diamond Tester?

Yes! All genuine moissanite stones will surely pass a diamond tester. If it doesn’t, it isn’t moissanite.
