Preparationof Man Made Diamonds

Justas mined stones are carefully cut, polished and set, man made diamonds undergo the same process, but first they are grown from a crystal seed, under very carefully controlled conditions, in special facilities to ensure perfection in each and every simulated diamond. Sona Diamonds are then evaluated by the traditional master diamond cutters in Israel, who have benefited from skills passed down over hundreds of years by experienced craftsmen in family centered and owned firms.

TheseDiamonds are currently available in a color-range of eleven fancy intense/vivid/deep colors. Sona’s new premiere colored diamond simulants are recognized by many gemologists as “the best available on the market today”
