What our customers say

I put through my order and waited patiently for it to be made and sent out. The communication along the process was good. The ring arrived via express post right on time and was exactly as it looked on the website - absolutely beautiful! My (now) fiancée loves it and I have gotten so many compliments from friends and family on my great taste!

Product Reviews

Diamond Simulants has an average rating of 4.0 out of 5 stars based on 2 customer reviews.

Diamond simulants are alternate gemstones, which fall outside the category of precious gemstone. Including the semi-precious range. These are special groups of stones, that are predominantly artificial in character, with a number of smaller natural variants, that mimic qualities of natural diamonds but are cheaper and more accessible. Cost is the main factor when it comes to diamond simulants, as they seek to present the shape, form and character of diamonds, but without the hefty price tag. Further, when it comes to artificial stones, their affordability is matched by their durability which can sometimes match the very high durability of diamonds. Diamond simulants are also used as accent stones, which often supplement other types of gemstones like sapphires for certain engagement rings, by providing diamond-like stones on their side. The top type of diamond simulates include cubic zirconia and moissanite, the latter argument is best, with its high durability and is a great choice as an accent stone for diamond engagement rings.
