 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 simulant.
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. Standard moissanite and
Russian Brilliants® color enhanced
canary, pink and "Hope Diamond" blue
are also available. Hadar also
offers sapphires, rubies, emeralds
and array of colored stones.

INSCRIPTION
Inscribe your love! Russian
Brilliants® can be heat laser
inscribed like a natural diamond.
The heat of the laser will not
affect the integrity of the stone.
Some competing stones offer "cold"
laser inscriptions. The letters are
painted black. In time the ink will
wash off. Akin to natural diamonds,
Russian Brilliants® laser
inscriptions will last forever.
CONCLUSION: Many agree that
moissanite is a fine alternative. It
offers sparkle and flash,
particularly when seen outdoors. For
a gemstone that comes closest to a
natural diamond, moissanite may not
be the best choice. If you're
looking to replicate a natural
diamond then the
best simulated diamond
and the number one choice is Russian
Brilliants®. Some jewelers have
difficulty distinguishing between
Russian Brilliants® and natural
diamonds. The eye appeal is
equivalent to the world's finest
gem-quality (D-E colorless),
flawless diamonds. Russian
Brilliants® are convincingly the
most natural looking diamond
simulant.
