Best Answer

'Best' is a bit of a relative term. Cultured, or lab grown diamonds, are available in multiple colors from multiple labs.

I would note that currently very few *white* lab grown diamonds are available. D.NEA has made whites up to one carat and Apollo Diamonds has offered some up to 1/3 carat.

Of the cultured yellow diamonds, the major sellers are Gemesis, D.NEA (was Adia), Takara, New Age Diamonds and Chatham. Takara's yellow diamonds seem to be the most consistently 'pure yellow', rather than the more common orange-yellow from the other labs.

D.NEA has the largest selection of blue diamonds. Pink diamonds are available at TakaraDiamonds.com and a few other sites like DiamondsCultured.com (made by Chatham).

I'll add some links to the various sites and you can research from there, as best is really partially dependent on what color you like and what type of cut you want.

Diamond Culture, a new supplier as of October 2009 has a large selection of IGI certified yellow, pink and lime diamonds, all cut in Antwerp.

Created-Diamonds.com is an online retailer of cultured diamonds produced by different labs.

What is the best simulated diamond of the man made diamonds which is the best so far?

If talking about "simulated" and NOT real synthetic / cultured / laboratory-grown diamond (which has the same properties of natural diamonds) I think the best in fire and brilliance is Moissanite, others are considered cheaper fakes.


What is the best a simulated diamond or a synthetic cultured laboratory grown diamond?

The best type of synthetic diamond would most likely be Cubic Zircona, a popular fake jewel that is much cheaper than diamond and unlike other fake jewels it will not change color or become tinted by an outside source for very extended periods of time.


What is quality cultured diamond?

A cultured diamond is made in a laboratory and is not a natural stone, even though it is manufactured from carbon. Industrial diamonds have been made in laboratories in America since the 1950s, and gem-stone quality diamonds only recently. What can be inferred from the phrase in your question is a description of a gem-stone quality diamond (which is always less valuable than a natural diamond).


What is the difference of a diamond and diamond aura?

Diamond Aura is the name of a SIMULATED diamond, NOT a synthetic diamond. Natural diamonds and synthetic (cultured) diamonds are identical in being made of pure carbon highly compressed with a hardness of 10. Cultured diamonds cost from 2/3 to 3/4 the price of natural diamonds. SIMULATED diamonds are NOT made of pure carbon. Cubic Zirconium (zirconium dioxide with hardness 8.5) and Mossanite (silicon carbide with hardness 9.25) are simulated diamonds and cost vastly less than natural or cultured diamonds. Diamond Aura stones have a hardness of 8.5, which suggests that they are cubic zirconium.
