Derived from one of the rarest minerals found in nature, Diamanti ATERNA is a revolutionary Lab Created Diamond Gem like nothing else you have ever laid eyes on. More rare and brilliant than a diamond it captures even the slightest light source transforming it into an intense scintillation of fire and sparkle. With fiery dispersion spectacularly emitted by ATERNA, it rivals any natural gemstone for fire and brilliance.
ATERNA is durable, tough and extremely resistant to scratching, and abrasion. With an impressive hardness of 9.5Mohs (a Diamond being 10Mohs), it is the second hardest Gem in the world and harder than a Sapphire, Ruby and Emerald. This incredible durability makes it Eternal and ideal for everyday wear and contributes to its popularity for engagement rings.
Superbly Engineered in our state-of-the-art laboratories and hand-crafted to perfection, the Diamanti ATERNA is without a doubt the most advanced and genuine diamond quality stone in the marketplace today.
Creating ATERNA is an art in itself. Using the latest advanced rough processing to achieve a colorless pure polytype, our expert scientists prepare a specialized blend comprised of 50% Pure Carbon and 50% Pure SIC to create a unique mix that gives the ATERNA its diamond-like durability and incredible sparkle. The proprietary process can take up to three months for the creation of a single tailor-grown ATERNA Gem.
Without exception, our stringent quality control and selecting process ensures that only the highest graded premium stones are given the ATERNA branding.
The less color in a diamond, the more valuable it is. The absolute finest colorless stones range between D to F rating. Colorless diamonds are sought after for their breathtaking purity and radiance. Diamanti ATERNA stones are exclusively created to the top colorless grades for unmatched beauty and striking detail.
Diamanti ATERNA lab gems are crafted by hand by our master diamond cutters, who are some of the best in the world.
A standard diamond with an inferior cut leaks light from the bottom and sides. Too deep or too shallow a cut, and the light that gives a diamond its brilliance is lost. With ATERNA, this is never the case.
Our cutters superbly cut the ATERNA stones to Ideal/Excellent proportions, guaranteeing the highest light reflection entering the stone. With a perfectly symmetrical cut and increased surface area, the Aterna captures 100% of the light creating maximum brilliance and exceptional Diamond fire. This dedication to perfection takes twice as long to cut and polish the Aterna, and it's well worth it for these breathtaking works of art.

Aterna tests positive for a diamond
While the ATERNA and Moissanite are both members of the same "Silicon Carbide" family of crystals, the ATERNA's structure, hardness, and optical brilliance outperform Moissanite in every aspect. Aterna offers a pure and clean colorless beauty that rivals Moissanite's near colorless with hints of green/yellow hue's.
Aterna rates at an impressive 9.50 Mohs hardness while moissanite is rated at 9.25 Mohs. The Aterna will not change color under heat! Moissanite will turn a bright yellow upon heating and eventually over multiple times heating, will become more colored in its appearance. The Colorless Aterna are sought after for their breathtaking purity and radiance.
ATERNA Lab Created Gems are perfect for those who seek a truly breathtaking and socially responsible diamond alternative of the highest quality, purity, and rarity. We are proud to offer ATERNA lab-grown gems in a controlled environment, with no environmental impact.
ATERNA Grown gems are a responsible choice for environmentally conscious consumers. Those who aspire to make socially responsible purchasing decisions have concerns regarding “conflict” diamonds.
* Engagement rings have sentimental value, not asset value. Engagement rings do only two things: (1) look pretty and (2) provide a symbol / memento of the event. Accordingly, you're best served by purchasing a high quality ring that meets these two criteria at the lowest possible cost. The cost/quality/durability attributes of Aterna make it much more attractive than diamond for use in wedding rings.
*Spending less on the stone means you can spend more on the setting. Since people notice the setting details more than the stone itself, the lower cost of Aterna means you have far more options to make your ring unique while keeping within your budget. Side stones, crafted bands, millgrain and bezel-set accents are all suddenly within your budget.
Diamonds have long been a symbol of a strengthened bond of eternal love. Every diamond has a story; a story that is as enduring as the substance itself. Our story begins with a stone that can withstand all the journeys and memories cherished and adorned for a lifetime--The Aterna.
Aterna is a fusion of beauty, art, and science dedicated to empowering the everyday buyer so they can own extraordinary jewelry hand-sculpted to perfect creations.
Proudly showcase unique creations destined to immortalize unforgettable moments: wedding, anniversaries, special occasions, the beauty of what life brings.
