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. Will people believe Russian Brilliants is a natural diamond? Only if you tell them. We have never received any information to the contrary. What will a jeweler say? 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. Is Russian Brilliants hard enough to have a personal inscription inscribed on the stone? Yes. It can be seen under 10X magnification. What is the cost of the personal inscription? $80 Can
my ring be sized if I gain or lose weight?
Having a Russian Brilliant in your ring will not
effect sizing. Many women participate in weight
loss programs therefore finger sizes change.
Russian Brilliants can be removed and reset like
a natural diamond. Ring sizing due to weight
loss or gain can be done for a small fee. Does Russian Brilliants come in different shapes and sizes? Yes. You can purchase sizes ranging from
.10 to a 18 ct stone. Can I purchase Russian Brilliants®
in different colors? Yes.
The most popular are the D-E (white) stones.
Additionally, light fancy yellow, canary yellow,
medium and very intense fancy yellows are
currently available. A beautiful tanzanite
is also offered. This gem is produced as a 90% blue and 10% purple stone. With it's amazing sparkle it mimics the finest tanzanite ever
mined and is harder and more durable than the
natural stone. Other natural-looking stones
available are sapphires, rubies, emeralds and
alexandrite. Will the Color ever fade? We
have never received any information associated with a color
change. How is Russian Brilliants cleaned? Simply drop one Alka Seltzer tablet in a half glass of warm water. Your jewelry will be safe too. Do you offer any guarantee or refund? Yes.
We guarantee that the color will not change. The
stone is almost as hard as a natural diamond and
it can chip in the same way a diamond will.
