Properties of Natural and Synthetic Diamond

Price: $356.13

Let's forget all the possible choices we have in white clear gemstones for a moment, and simply bring it to the most probable. These are:
  • PASTE: (a fancy name for glass and very common in old Jewelry, especially brooches).

  • ZIRCON: Again natural
