Having the knowledge of the type of stone you choose is important for various reasons. Each stone has different values and qualies that will impact price, durability and shine.

Lab-grown diamond

White topaz

White topaz is a colorless gemstone that belongs to the family of topaz minerals. Its transparency makes it resemble diamond to some extent. Unlike diamonds, which have a high level of brilliance, topaz may exhibit a different play of light. Its affordability makes it a popular choice for a diamond look on a budget. 

Cubic zirconia

Cubic zirconia (CZ) is a synthetic crystalline substance used as an alternative to natural gemstones. CZ is designed to mimic the appearance of diamonds and other precious gemstones. One of the main advantages of cubic zirconia is its affordability. It is significantly less expensive than natural gemstones, making it a popular choice for budget-conscious consumers who want the look of a precious gem without the high cost.
