Simulated diamonds are also known as diamond simulants and include things like cubic zirconia (CZ), moissanite, and YAG. They can also include some natural clear gemstones like white sapphire, white zircon or even clear quartz. Simulated diamonds do not possess the chemical and physical properties of actual diamonds, so they generally sell for a relatively low cost.

A simulated diamond is merely a substance that may look like a diamond, but does not possess all the same properties as a diamond. These are commonly known as cubic zirconia or moissanite, though other substances can also be considered simulants. These can be found usually for a couple dollars to a couple hundred dollars for a one carat equivalent. Synthetic diamonds on the other hand are real diamonds. They are made of carbon in a process diamonds naturally grow under. They are most commonly available in yellow and blue colors, with white being quite rare, and are at least a few thousand dollars per carat.
Black Diamonds are REAL GENUINE Diamonds.
Sometimes they are enhanced. They come out of the earth as Diamonds that don't look exactly black. They go thru a process that enhances their black-ness.
Natural black diamonds are also known as carbonado: read more, below.
Yes they are. Black diamonds are extremely rare and create a stunning contrast when paired with white diamonds. They are on trend currently and are being featured as colored stone options.
A simulated diamond is worth whatever someone will pay you for it.
Diamond Aura is the name of a SIMULATED diamond, NOT a synthetic diamond. Natural diamonds and synthetic (cultured) diamonds are identical in being made of pure carbon highly compressed with a hardness of 10. Cultured diamonds cost from 2/3 to 3/4 the price of natural diamonds. SIMULATED diamonds are NOT made of pure carbon. Cubic Zirconium (zirconium dioxide with hardness 8.5) and Mossanite (silicon carbide with hardness 9.25) are simulated diamonds and cost vastly less than natural or cultured diamonds. Diamond Aura stones have a hardness of 8.5, which suggests that they are cubic zirconium.
Yes
Yes.
A real diamond is an allotrope of carbon, and as formed, is the hardest mineral on earth.
a aura diamond is a man made diamond.
simulated diamond means that it has all the characteristics of a real diamond but is fake.
Simulated diamonds are typically chosen instead of a real diamond because of the price and minute visual differences from a real diamond. Sometimes simulated diamonds can vary in appearance in stylistic ways that real diamonds cannot, such as differences in color and tone.
A simulated diamond looks similar to a diamond and its physical and chemical properties are different to a diamond and are much cheaper than a regular diamond. A simulated diamond is a lot cheaper than a natural diamond and you can buy one that is the same size of a natural one at a much lower price. However, the price depends on the 4 Cs; cut, carat, clarity and color.
Its a simulated diamond. Or lab created.

Simulated leather are materials that are made to look like real leather. Simulated leather is not real leather at all.
If talking about "simulated" and NOT real synthetic / cultured / laboratory-grown diamond (which has the same properties of natural diamonds) I think the best in fire and brilliance is Moissanite, others are considered cheaper fakes.
Diamonique is a simulated diamond -- with a name copyright by QVC, where you can buy them. You can read more, below.
Diamonvita™ is the highest quality simulated diamond product available. With a special polishing process that uses a fine diamond mesh powder, Diamonvita™ products are more radiant and brilliant than other simulated diamond options.
The difference can be seen using an item called a jeweler's loupe. It is a magnifying glass that shows the imperfections in a lab based diamond and one that has been made over thousands of years.
Yes, you do. As a jeweler, you might very well be called upon to decide whether or not a particular diamond is natural or simulated.
diamondique cubic zercona , it is a simulated diamond, very nice costume
