Salt And Pepper Diamond : 

A salt and pepper diamond is called because of the black and white inclusions that can be found within the stone . These inclusions give the diamond its unique, speckled appearance, much like a mix of salt and pepper . In the past, salt and pepper diamonds were considered to be of too low quality, due to the heavy inclusions they contained, and were not used in jewelry . However, today they’re viewed quite differently . The gorgeous, speckled appearance of these diamonds make them unique and appealing, with no two diamonds exactly alike . This gives each stone character and style . Salt and pepper diamonds suit a variety of ring styles, from vintage to contemporary. They suit minimalist or maximalist styles and look perfect whether set in rustic designs or classic settings . This versatility makes salt and pepper diamonds a perfect choice for any type of fashion sense . While colored diamonds can be more expensive than their colorless counterparts , salt and pepper diamonds are quite the opposite . Although they’re also a form of colored diamond , they’re much more affordable because they aren’t ‘perfect’ stones . Salt and pepper stones are readily available . While they still have an impact on the earth (any type of mining does) , they’re still much more sustainable than other types of diamonds . 

Lab Grown Diamond : 

Naturally-formed diamonds are pure carbon, crystalised in the isometric cubic form beneath the earth’s crust . Lab-grown diamonds (LGDs) , on the other hand , are manufactured in laboratories with either of the two methods — chemical vapour deposition (CVD) or high pressure, high temperature (HPHT) using a chemical composition . LGDs have physical and optical properties similar to that of natural diamonds . A common eye can’t distinguish between a natural diamond and an LGD and it requires a trained gemologist and sophisticated equipment to differentiate the two . The size, clarity, cut and colour of LGDs make them suitable substitutes to natural diamonds, especially when the availability of natural diamonds becomes scarce due to depleting reserves and escalating costs . Unlike natural diamonds that take centuries or several millenia to be formed below the crust of the earth under extreme heat and pressure, the LGDs are made in laboratories using either the CVD or HPHT method . It takes less than a month to make a distinctively-shaped crystal . 

Natural Gemstones : 

A natural gemstone is a mineral, stone, or organic matter that can be cut and polished or otherwise treated for use as jewelry or other ornament . A precious gemstone has beauty, durability, and rarity, whereas a semiprecious gemstone has only one or two of these qualities . A gem is a gemstone that has been cut and polished. Diamond, corundum (ruby and sapphire), beryl (emerald and aquamarine), topaz, and opal are generally classed as precious stones. All other gemstones are usually classed as semiprecious . 

Moissanite :

 Moissanite is the name given to a naturally occurring and laboratory-grown mineral made up of silicon carbide . Its occurrence in nature is extremely rare and has only been found in upper mantle rock and meteorites . Discoveries have shown moissanite occurs naturally as inclusions in diamonds, xenoliths, kimberlite, and lamproite . Discovered over 120 years ago, moissanite gems have come so far from being just silicon carbide . Today , because of its rarity , moissanite is lab grown with minimal environmental impact. Because of its durability , moissanite can be found in a variety of cuts , while give jewelry designers a plethora of options for moissanite engagement rings and other jewelry settings . When browsing the market for moissanite , keep in mind brilliance and variety . These two factors are what sets the gemstone apart from diamonds and other similar jewelry gems .  No matter what shape catches your eye , there’s nothing like seeing this stunning gem in person . 

Enhanced Diamonds : 

Color enhanced diamonds are natural diamonds that have undergone a color changing process to alter their original color . They may appear whiter, or have a tinted shade that makes them appear yellow or pink . Enhanced diamonds are as safe as natural diamonds, so you don't have to worry . Before settling for that unique ring or necklace, you may want to consider trying out a color-enhanced diamond . Just like the natural diamond, the enhanced diamond is equally beautiful, and speaks volumes about your love and affection for your loved one. The length of service may be just like that of the original diamond, unless you expose it to extremely high temperatures . In terms of cost, color enhanced diamonds are less expensive, making them pocket-friendly .
