ORRO Diamond Simulants
Beautiful and rare, diamonds are desired for their sparkle and exquisiteness. When you buy a diamond there are four points that you should always consider, collectively better known as the Four C’s. Similarly, at ORRO our stones are scientifically grown using state-of-the-art and proprietary science before being hand cut & hand polished in line with stringent global grading benchmarks used in the genuine diamond industry. Each and every facet follows a mathematical formula and is placed at precise angles in relation to each other - the result is what many consider the world’s best diamond simulants. After all, every one of our very own master stone cutters has over fifteen years of experience cutting and faceting naturally mined diamonds.
CUT
Refers to the precise symmetry and proportions of the stone, which is what gives the rock its sparkle and brilliance. There are many diamond shapes to choose from, with the round brilliant cut being the most common.
COLOR
The world’s most desirable diamonds are colorless. The best color is D, which is almost clear white. The color scale descents from down through the alphabetical order all the way to Z – moving further away from colorless towards yellow or brown tints.
CLARITY
Diamonds have small imperfections embedded within them known as inclusions. The fewer the inclusion, the more valuable the stone is.
CARAT WEIGHT
This is the size of the stone. The word carat comes from the carob seeds that were used to balance scales during ancient times.

HOW CLOSE ARE OUR DIAMONDS SIMULANTS TO A NATURAL DIAMOND?
If a diamond simulant is to pass the ultimate test you must be able to impress a professional diamond dealer under normal circumstances with the naked eye, which we have done many time. Most would ask if they can use a magnification loupe to be able to differentiate our stones from a real diamond. Having said this, how many people do you know walk around with a loupe?
Most agree that the naked eye can’t tell the difference and it takes an experienced gemologist with a microscope loupe to distinguished between the two. Its hardness is measured at 8.5 to 9.0 with a mined diamond possessing A IO on the industry standard Mohs scale. This hardness equals or exceeds that of other precious stones such as sapphire and ruby.
