Synthetic Diamonds

Posted on May 11, 2010.
Synthetic Diamondssynthetic diamonds ...?

After watching the movie "Blood Diamond" and do much research, my girlfriend and I are ethically opposed to the purchase of diamonds mined. We are in contempt of the following:

1) The death and carnage of innocent Africans in trade in conflict diamonds.
Two) The greedy, monopolistic practices of the diamond cartel De Beers.
3) The artificial scarcity of supply of diamonds created by the cartel, which keeps prices high.
4) The bombardment of advertising diamonds and celebrity lifestyle that brought millions of people deeply in debt.

I want to know what are the highest quality synthetic diamonds available and if someone had bought diamonds online or from a dealer. So far, I love these online sites:

Diamond Nexus Labs
Russian Diamonds
Carat Hong Kong *

Any other recommendations?

Most jewelry stores will cubic zirconia. Just ask that instead of diamonds. The great thing about CZ is because they are synthetic, they have no defects. They are obviously much cheaper. You can place them in any type of metal you want. See a local jeweler in your area and they will be able to help. In fact, since you'll save money either by not getting a diamond, you might even be able to afford to have a custom jeweler Make your jewelry in any metal and any design you want.

Have a look on QVC. They called Diamonque simulated diamonds set in silver, 14ct gold and even platinum in charge of setting drawings.
