Q: What do all these terms mean: synthetic, artificial, cultured, cultivated, lab-grown diamonds?

A: All these terms talk about the same product but define it from different angles. New Age Diamonds are real diamonds and they are: cultivated and lab-grown since the technologies and equipment of the growing process are acquired by scientists in research laboratory conditions and they are synthetic meaning they occur not from the Earth's mantle.

We prefer to call our diamonds cultivated or lab-grown diamonds simply because it best depicts the essence of their creation as we have captured and recreated the forces found deep inside the Earth in the lab.

A: Simulants like CZ, maisonette, Fianit, Yttrium Zirconium Oxide (YZrO2) are not diamonds but only simulants, that simulate visual effect of a real diamond.
