(PRESS RELEASE) MILWAUKEE, WI — Diamond Nexus introduces Moissanite to its brand in addition to the already existing patented Nexus Diamond simulant stone. The Diamond Nexus brand now offers these two industry-leading diamond alternatives, making it a destination for accessible engagement rings and fine fashion jewelry.

Diamond Nexus currently offers its patented simulant stone which is created in a lab to accurately replicate the performance of a perfect diamond. The Moissanite gemstone is a popular and durable stone known for its fire and brilliance. Moissanite stands on its own in performance; offering more sparkle than both a diamond and the Nexus Diamond simulant. For those looking for maximum beauty and sparkle, go Moissanite. For those looking for something that is indistinguishable from a diamond to the naked eye, go Nexus Diamond simulant. Either way you will dramatically increase your style choices by going with the budget-friendly and mining-free diamond alternative.

If you’re not quite a believer in diamond alternatives, consider this: both stones are guaranteed for LIFE to never chip, crack or discolor. If there is ever a problem with your stone (Nexus Diamond simulant or Moissanite), Diamond Nexus will replace it for free, forever. That’s how confident we are in our heirloom quality pieces, but if it’s still not enough, know you can always “Level Up” to a Lab Diamond.

Intrigued? Here’s more on its new gemstone.

Just like diamonds, Moissanite is graded for color, clarity, cut, polish and symmetry. The Moissanite gemstones offered at Diamond Nexus are exclusively lab created. They are colorless (D-E-F), of high clarity (VS1 or better), and are manufactured to an Excellent Cut, Polish and Symmetry.

Moissanite is extremely durable and can be set and finished into all types of fine jewelry. It ranks on the Mohs hardness scale at 9.25 or better and has greater tensile strength than a diamond. Moissanite is less brittle than diamond, which tends to make it less susceptible to cracking and chipping.

Visually, many see more sparkle, fire and brightness from a Moissanite than a diamond. On the Brilliance Refractive Index, which measures a gem’s sparkle, a Moissanite is more brilliant than a diamond.

Moissanite is offered as an option online for Round Cut Engagement Rings but is available for all styles with the help of customer care. Diamond Nexus is set to expand its Moissanite offering to more product categories this year.

Diamond Nexus does not want you to compromise; not in the style you choose.

The Diamond Nexus brand believes in three things; No mined stones ever, affordability and quality above all. Diamonds are beautiful, but destructive – Since 2005, Diamond Nexus has simulated its beauty with our patented Nexus Diamond simulant while now offering the option of Moissanite.

You Wouldn’t Cut Your Own Hair. Why Run Your Own Retirement Sale?

After being in business for over a quarter of a century, Wayne Reid, owner of Wayne Jewelers in Wayne, Pennsylvania, decided it was time for a little “me time.” He says, “I’ve reached a point in my life where it’s time to slow down, enjoy a lot of things outside of the jewelry industry. It just seemed to be the right time.” He chose Wilkerson to handle his retirement sale because of their reputation and results. With financial goals exceeded, Reid says he made the right choice selecting Wilkerson to handle the sale. “They made every effort to push our jewelry to the forefront of the showcases,” he says, lauding Wilkerson for their finesse and expertise. Would he recommend them to other jewelers who want to make room for new merchandise, expand their business or like him, decide to call it a day? Absolutely he says, equating trying to do this kind of sale with cutting your own hair. “The results are going to happen but not as well as if you have a professional like Wilkerson do the job for you.”
