Learn about Diamonds!
It is important to know that there's a big difference between natural diamonds, lab created diamonds and diamond simulants, such as cubic zirconia and moissanite.
hese simulants are not made of the carbon crystals, and do not possess the same brilliance as diamonds. For that reason, simulants sell at much lower prices than lab created diamonds.
Moissanite
Moissanite is a gemstone born from the stars.Natural Moissanite is incredibly rare, so Moissanite available todayis laboratory-created. Moissanite is less expensive per carat thanmany other gemstones.
Moissanite is a 9.25 on the Moh’s scale, so it is suitable for everyday wear. Moissanites exhibit a different kind of brilliance than diamonds do, as their faceting pattern is different.
The fiery, rainbow flashes emitted by moissanites are beloved bysome, but others complain that moissanite’s heightened brilliance can create a “disco ball” effect, especially in sunlight.The bigger the moissanite, the more likely it is that the difference will be noticeable.

Diamond quality offered by TwoBirch:
Jewelry professionals use a systematic way to evaluate the diamonds in order to determine their quality. We, as a jewelry company, have set standards in quality that range from G to H color and from SI1 to I3 clarity.
Slightly Included (SI1 and SI2)
Inclusions are noticeable to a skilled grader under 10x magnification.
included (I1, I2, and I3)
Inclusions are obvious under 10× magnification and may affect transparency and brilliance..
Diamond Certification
Our center stones are endorsed by a recognized gemologist agency certification such as IGI (International Gemological Institute), GIA (Gemological Institute of America) or GCAL (Gem Certification and Assurance Lab's). On each certification, the specific characteristics of the diamond is documented. The most known is the Diamond Grading Report.
These reports are issued by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), which is among the most respected organizations in the diamond industry. The GIA set the standard for diamond grading and gemological identification, and their grading system serves as the international gem and jewelry industry's benchmark credentials.
