russian brilliants simulated loose stonesIs Russian Brilliants® Really a Diamond?
No. Russian Brilliants® is a laboratory-grown stone that is classified as a diamond simulant and developed in Russia and used in their satellite optics program. Being hand-cut it takes on many of the visual properties of a natural diamond. A one carat of Russian Brilliants® with its brilliance and fire is equivalent to the world's finest D flawless diamond valued at $16,000.

What is the difference between Russian Brilliants® and other diamond simulants?
1. RBs are uniquely different as they are flawless.

2. They are guaranteed in writing to never experience a color change. Other simulants have metabolic pinpoint inclusions that implode, leaving the stone with a color change.

3. They are hand cut, faceted and polished like a natural diamond. (Ideal – Premium cut.)
4. Harder / more durable. Cuts glass. Like a natural diamond RBs can be personally laser inscribed. Heat of the laser will not affect the integrity of the stone.

5. Most trusted name in the industry. See BBB link on home page for details.

On a certain level jewelers perceive us as competing for their business. At times, they feel like they are being tested. For these reasons many jewelers will not offer many flattering comments. Russian Brilliants® is a relatively new product. Jewelers are very knowledgeable about natural diamonds but are not familiar with Russian Brilliants® and other new simulated stones. Quite often jewelers confuse Russian Brilliants® with the mass produced, machine stamped or moissanite.
