A diamond simulant is generally a non-diamond material which is used to simulate the appearance of a diamond. Diamond-simulant gems are usually called as diamante. The most popular diamond simulant to most consumers is cubic zirconia.
The popular gemstone moissanite is quite often treated as a diamond simulant, although it is a gemstone in its own right. While moissanite seems similar to diamond, its main disadvantage as a diamond simulant is that cubic zirconia is much cheaper and arguably equally convincing. Generally both are produced synthetically.Labels: Diamond simulants
