Similar to natural diamonds, the 4Cs
(Color, Clarity, Cut, Carat Weight) are
also applied to all diamond substitutes.
By applying the 4Cs you will be able to
ascertain true value of the stone prior
to making your purchase. Reputable
simulated diamond dealers will allow you
to preview the stone before making this
important purchase. Hadar Co. invites
you to
preview Russian Brilliants®.
A comparison with moissanite, other
diamond substitutes and natural diamonds
can be achieved.
Moissanite is identifiable due to its
silicon carbide content. In the
manufacturing process, moissanite
becomes double refractive, producing a
positive (sparkling) illusion in
sunlight. Conversely, when exposed to
incandescent or indoor lighting, the
stone takes on a dull center. These
personality swings are greater than
those seen in Russian Brilliants® and
natural diamonds. Russian Brilliants®
are single refractive and has more
resemblance to a natural diamond. They
have extraordinary fire and brilliance.
They are D-E (colorless). There are no
rainbow consequences seen in other
diamonds substitutes. Some people find
moissanite fine-looking, while others
see the double refraction and color
grades ranging from J-M (off white) a
distraction that makes the stone
undesirable.
Russian Brilliants® were originally
developed for use in the Russian Space
Optics Program. They are hand-cut,
faceted and polished to ideal
proportions. these little beauties are
available in all shapes and sizes. Hadar
offers the highest rated ideal cut round
shape. Russian Brilliants® with "hearts
& arrows." The company has also
perfected the first
ideal cut princess diamond simulant.
Unlike hand-cut natural diamonds and
Russian Brilliants®, moissanite is
machine-cut (no hearts & arrows). And
Russian Brilliants® can be hand-cut to
your specifications. All antique cuts
are available. This is often done for
people desiring "travel jewelry" or to
duplicate a family heirloom. Hadar
specializes in creating all styles of
custom jewelry.
Moissanite is manufactured in the U.S.
The overhead and the cost of doing
business is higher than in Russia and
many other countries. This is just one
of the factors that make moissanite more
expensive than other diamond simulants.
Hadar markets moissanite on a "call"
basis only (800) 322-0995 or (888)
991-1299. Standard moissanite and
Russian Brilliants® color enhanced
canary, pink and "Hope Diamond" blue are
also available. Hadar also offers
sapphires, rubies, emeralds and array of
colored stones.

INSCRIPTION
Inscribe your love! Russian Brilliants®
can be heat laser inscribed like a
natural diamond. The heat of the laser
will not affect the integrity of the
stone. Some competing stones offer
"cold" laser inscriptions. The letters
are painted black. In time the ink will
wash off. Akin to natural diamonds,
Russian Brilliants® laser inscriptions
will last forever.
CONCLUSION: Many agree that
moissanite is a fine alternative. It
offers sparkle and flash, particularly
when seen outdoors. For a gemstone that
comes closest to a natural diamond,
moissanite may not be the best choice.
If you're looking to best replicate a
natural diamond, the best
imitation diamonds and the
number one choice is Russian
Brilliants®. Some jewelers have
difficulty distinguishing between
Russian Brilliants® and natural
diamonds. The eye appeal is equivalent
to the world's finest gem-quality (D-E
colorless), flawless diamonds. Russian
Brilliants® are convincingly the most
natural looking diamond simulant.
