COMPARE MOISSANITE
& RUSSIAN BRILLIANTS®
TO NATURAL DIAMONDS

Similar to natural diamonds, the 4Cs (Color, Clarity, Cut, Carat Weight) are also applied to all diamond substitutes. By applying the 4Cs you will be able to ascertain true value of the stone prior to making your purchase. Reputable simulated diamond dealers will allow you to preview the stone before making this important purchase. Hadar Co. invites you to preview Russian Brilliants®. A comparison with moissanite, other diamond substitutes and natural diamonds can be achieved.

Moissanite is identifiable due to its silicon carbide content. In the manufacturing process, moissanite becomes double refractive, producing a positive (sparkling) illusion in sunlight. Conversely, when exposed to incandescent or indoor lighting, the stone takes on a dull center. These personality swings are greater than those seen in Russian Brilliants® and natural diamonds. Russian Brilliants® are single refractive and has more resemblance to a natural diamond. They have extraordinary fire and brilliance. They are D-E (colorless). There are no rainbow consequences seen in other diamonds substitutes. Some people find moissanite fine-looking, while others see the double refraction and color grades ranging from J-M (off white) a distraction that makes the stone undesirable.

Russian Brilliants® were originally developed for use in the Russian Space Optics Program. They are hand-cut, faceted and polished to ideal proportions. these little beauties are available in all shapes and sizes. Hadar offers the highest rated ideal cut round shape. Russian Brilliants® with "hearts & arrows". The company has also perfected the first ideal cut princess diamond stimulant. Unlike hand-cut natural diamonds and Russian Brilliants®, moissanite is machine-cut (no hearts & arrows). And Russian Brilliants® can be hand-cut to your specifications. All antique cuts are available. This is often done for people desiring "travel jewelry" or to duplicate a family heirloom. Hadar specializes in creating all styles of custom jewelry.

Moissanite is manufactured in the U.S. The overhead and the cost of doing business is higher than in Russia and many other countries. This is just one of the factors that make moissanite more expensive than other diamond simulants. Hadar markets moissanite on a "call" basis only (800) 322-0995 or (888) 991-1299.
