Below are some of the most common questions people like you have about Matt Meis jewelry. If you don’t find your answer, please contact us.
Russian Brilliants are guaranteed never to fade or discolor internally. Some other simulants have internal microscopic pinpoint inclusions that implode when exposed to sunlight, leaving the stone looking cloudy and discolored. Our stones are completely stable in sunlight so you’ll never have this problem. Guaranteed.
Don’t be fooled by this old sales pitch. Almost all gemstones common in fine jewelry will cut glass. Why? Diamond is a 10 on the mohs hardness scale. Glass has a mohs hardness of only 6.5. Since most gemstones used in jewelry (i.e., sapphire, ruby, topaz, quartz, citrine, amethyst) have a hardness above 6.5 they will all cut glass. And yes, almost all simulated diamonds including Russian Brilliants will cut glass.
We have heard many stories from our customers about showing their rings to another jeweler who was impressed with the quality of their “diamond”, and we work with many expert jewelers who recommend Russian Brilliants to their customers.

Russian Brilliants® is a laboratory-grown stone that is classified as a diamond simulant. A simulated diamond simulates or imitates the appearance of a mined diamond, but does not duplicate the characteristic chemical and physical properties of the natural gemstone. While Russian Brilliants® simulated diamonds do an excellent job of duplicating the appearance of a mined diamond, they are not the same thing as a mined diamond.
Anything that’s not a diamond, whether it’s a sapphire, ruby, emerald, blue topaz, amethyst, or any semi-precious or simulated diamond material, will be susceptible to some scratching, chipping or minor abrasions over time as a result of daily wear. Russian Brilliants simulated diamonds come with a lifetime warranty that covers damage of any kind, for any reason.
