Welcome to the new 'Ice Age'

What's the difference between the chunky cubes in your freezer and the icicles that form on a winter's day? Not much. Both are made of frozen water. Both are cold. But one was made by a machine and the other was born in nature.

If you want to understand the process that goes into every one of our DiamondAura lab-created stones, you can't do much better than the ice comparison. Over the past five years we've spent millions perfecting our "recipe" for recreating the look and luster of natural mined diamonds. We use the exact same ingredients as Mother Nature, we just put them together in a way that doesn't require a billion years of prep time. And apparently we're doing something right because the book Jewelry and Gems-The Buying Guide calls the technique used in DiamondAura®, "The best diamond simulation to date."

You can see the results for yourself in the deep, dynamic sparkle of our Marquise & Baguette Ring. Up top, a stunning 2-carat, DiamondAura lab-created marquise is hoisted above a majestic setting of .925 sterling silver and DiamondAura accents. The prong-set stone towers above the band's exquisitely appointed shoulders, which sparkle with epaulets of tapered, lab-created DiamondAura baguettes and deep-set, round DiamondAura. Overall, the ring serves up more than 2-½ carats of optically-brilliant 'ice' at a price that won't give you the shivers!
