The Diamond Hybrid provides affordable beauty guaranteed to be D to F in color and VVS1 to VS2 in clarity. It is also available in many shapes and carat sizes, making it the perfect addition to any engagement ring or fine jewelry.
Constructed from a crystal core that has an infusion of enhanced synthetic diamond on the outer layer, the Diamond Hybrid possesses the most realistic brilliance you will ever see from a diamond simulant and is offered at $295 USD per carat, making it the ideal stone for simulated diamond rings. Diamond Hybrid is a simulate and not a lab-grown diamond, which is pure carbon.

There’s no reason to wait to get engaged. Many MiaDonna customers have used Diamond Hybrid center stones as a placeholder before upgrading to a lab-grown diamond.

Diamond Hybrids are also a popular choice for travel jewelry.
The Diamond Hybrid is created by placing a perfectly-cut crystal core or substrate into a chamber of intense heat and pressure and infusing lab-created diamond crystals, or bonding them at a molecular level, into the outer layers of the crystal core. These lab created diamond crystals stack up on the core and realign with each other. The finished product is a diamond-infused simulant with a nonprecious crystal core and a solid outer layer of lab-created diamond that will never wear off or detach from the core.

The Diamond Hybrid has a hardness of 8.8, similar to a precious gem, like a Sapphire or Ruby, and should be treated with the same care. While it is incredibly hard, it is possible to damage a Diamond Hybrid as it is a simulant and NOT a diamond. The Hybrid stone, because of its infused outer diamond layer, is also nearly two times harder than an ordinary cubic zirconia and will not absorb oils from the everyday use of soaps, lotions and, beauty products.
