Derived from one of the rarest minerals found in nature, Aterna® is a revolutionary Lab Created Diamond Gem like nothing else you have ever laid eyes on. With incredible diamond brilliance, 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.
Recognized as one of the most beautiful Gems in the world, Aterna® delivers incredible Diamond sparkle, intensity and durability. Aterna is luxurious in every way yet accessibly priced at a fraction of the cost of a comparable mined diamond. Aterna® is the perfect gemstone choice for those seeking beauty and value.
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 Moissanite, 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 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 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. 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.
A diamond tester is a thermal conductivity meter that will detect the rate at which heat moves through stones and will tell you whether it is a diamond. Because of the high carbon content and similar heat signature, Aterna will test positive on most diamond testers.
Diamonds effectively conduct heat and therefore disperse heat quickly. If you place a stone in front of your mouth and fog it like you would a mirror, if it stays fogged for a couple of seconds, it’s most likely not a diamond. Aterna, like a diamond, disperses the heat from your breath instantaneously and won't fog up.
A diamond refracts light so intensely that you cannot see through it. If you’re able to read the letters of the newspaper—even if the letters are a bit blurry, its most likely not a diamond. Aterna's facets will refract and bend the light so sharply that you wouldn't be able to see the print, thus passing the transparency test.
Experience pure delight as Aterna's diamond-positive test reaffirms its remarkable quality, elevating your confidence in its exceptional brilliance and value. Revel in the assurance of owning a true gemstone treasure as Aterna shines brightly with the timeless allure of genuine diamonds.
Elevate your expectations with Aterna, a diamond alternative that rivals the many aspects of standard diamonds, offering uncompromising beauty without the premium price tag. Embrace the future of luxury with Aterna as it effortlessly captures the allure of diamonds, delivering unmatched sparkle and sophistication to adorn every moment.
