Lassaire® Simulated Diamonds are also called diamond simulates. They are not synthetic or man-made diamonds. Where Lafonn uses colored stones, they are 'synthetic colored gemstones' like sapphire, emerald, ruby – etc. Common simulants include colorless sapphire, colorless zircon, synthetic cubic zirconia (zirconium oxide, CZ), and synthetic moissanite (silicon carbide).

Diamond imitations only mimic the look of natural diamonds but have different physical and chemical properties than that of earth-mined diamonds. They may be natural or made in a lab, but do not share the chemical composition or physical properties of natural or man-made diamonds. And, because simulants do not share those properties with diamonds, they are more easily distinguished by gemologists – but not to the naked eye.

Lassaire® Simulated Diamonds are inherently less expensive than natural or lab-made diamonds because they are often crafted from Cubic zirconia and synthetic moissanite. And, that is the very reason why Lafonn can offer a superior-quality product at a better price. And, to the naked eye, Lafonn’s signature Lassaire® Simulated Diamonds are optically indistinguishable from natural earth-mined diamonds.
