so the half carat or less are real diamonds? unless you get yellow stones and those are 100% carbon also? and do you put the 100% ones in your instore jewelry?

Thanks,

Chad

@ashleyjoy27 Hey Chad - Just our canary stones are made out of 100% carbon, the rest our are diamond simulant product. Does that make sense?

I really Want to Buy A Ring For my Girlfriend. Are these Diamonds Really Good? Please get back to me

@5220Timothy Hey there - Our diamond simulants and synthetics replicate a diamond optically and physically. This means that our rings will look and feel like a mined diamond. Only chemical testing will be able to tell the difference. On top of that, all of our stones are "D" color, flawless stones, which most mined diamonds cannot replicate. So, to answer your question, yes, our diamond simulants are really good!

@DiamondNexusLabs WOW.. Thank you so much for the Information!! I will Be Buying On for My Girlfriend Very Soon!! Thanks again

@g35mick Since they are optically the same but our simulants are much cheaper, I would say our simulants.

@DiamondNexusLabs Which is better

@g35mick The stones over a half carat that you're seeing are our diamond simulant product. This video is describing our synthetic diamonds. They both look the same but synthetic diamonds have the same chemical composition (pure carbon), while our simulants are a different chemical composition. Does that make a little more sense?

What r saying, I've seen larger than .50 carat diamonds on your site
