What is an American Diamond?

Diamonds are a girl's best friend! But what do you do when natural diamonds become too expensive? That's where American Diamonds come in—an affordable alternative that offers the brilliance of a real diamond.

Understanding American Diamonds

American Diamonds, colloquially known as cubic zirconia, are man-made, lab-created stones that replicate a natural diamond. Cubic zirconia is a synthetic gemstone made from zirconium dioxide. American Diamonds are crafted in labs under controlled conditions to achieve a flawless and brilliant appearance.

The term "American Diamond" is commonly used in India and South Asia to refer to top-grade cubic zirconia stones. The stones have gained immense popularity due to their affordability, clarity and sparkle.

Features of American Diamonds

1. Brilliance & Sparkle

Designed to reflect light beautifully, giving them a dazzling appearance, American Diamonds tend to exhibit more colourful flashes, known as fire. Natural diamonds typically have a white or subtle sparkle. 

2. Hardness & Durability

Cubic zirconia fails to match the strength of a real diamond. Diamonds are the hardest natural material (10 on the Mohs scale), cubic zirconia is softer, with a rating of 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale. American diamonds are strong enough for regular usage, but are prone to scratches over time.

3. Affordability

One of the biggest advantages of American Diamonds is their affordability. They cost significantly less than real diamonds, making them a great choice for budget-friendly yet elegant jewellery.

4. Clarity & Perfection

American diamonds are manufactured to be flawless and crystal clear. Unlike natural diamonds, they don’t have flaws or colour variations. They are an attractive choice for those who want a diamond-like shine without imperfections.

5. Variety & Availability

Being man-made gemstones, American diamonds are available in various cuts, sizes and shapes such as round, princess, oval, pear, and heart-shaped stones. They are commonly used in rings,  earrings, necklaces, bracelets and bridal jewellery.
