CERTIFIED MOISSANITE- these are professionally certified. These are near-colorless gemstones composed of silicon carbide, which is the same material that makes up natural diamonds. They are very durable and resistant to scratching and chipping with Mohs hardness of 9.25, which is just below that of natural diamonds (10). Our certified moissanite are known for their brilliance identical to natural diamond but at a fraction of the cost. Our selection boasts a variety of stunning colors, including classic clear, captivating black, and elegant yellow, green, and grey. Some colored moissanite features a coating for vibrant hues, which may require special care over time but every piece will pass the diamond test.

PREMIUM CVD DIAMONDS (Chemical Vapor Deposition Diamonds)- These are certified lab-grown and atomically identical to mined diamonds and are composed of pure crystalline carbon. Our CVD process for these stones relies on a unique and innovative process that makes them look exactly like so-called “natural” diamonds. In fact, even a trained jeweler cannot identify the difference. Our Premium CVD Diamonds will pass the diamond test and can only be made available for stone upgrades at a premium cost.

HPHT DIAMONDS (High Pressure High Temperature Diamonds)- These are real lab-grown diamonds that are created using the high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) method. This method involves subjecting a small diamond seed to extreme heat and pressure, which causes the carbon atoms in the seed to bond together and form a larger diamond. HPHT diamonds are typically yellow or brown in color, although they can also be colorless or near-colorless. HPHT diamonds are typically more expensive than other types of lab-grown diamonds, such as CVD diamonds. This is because the HPHT process is more energy-intensive and requires more specialized equipment. However, HPHT diamonds are also considered to be more durable than other types of lab-grown diamonds.

Black Diamonds- New York's jewelry are handcrafted for daily wear, allowing you to showcase your timeless style and express your individuality every day.

PLATINUM: Our platinum pieces are renowned for its durability, rarity, and hypoallergenic properties. Ideal for those with sensitive skin. Heavier than gold, giving it a substantial feel. Naturally white, eliminating the need for rhodium plating. Platinum jewelry is often considered an investment due to its enduring value and beauty. Often chosen for engagement and wedding rings due to its timeless elegance and resistance to tarnish

Platinum Marking: Pt950, Pt900

SOLID GOLD: Our solid gold pieces are designed for daily wear. All our jewelry handcrafted in solid gold is treated with a permanent finish. This ensures that your favorite pieces remain as breathtaking as the day you first wore them. 

Gold Marking: 9k, 10k, 14k, 18k, 24k

925 SILVER: Our silver pieces are electroplated for a beautiful finish, but this finish may wear off over time with normal use. Each piece is electroplated with rhodium or finished with an e-coating, providing a layer of protection against everyday wear and tear. These finishes not only enhance the overall appearance but also provide added durability. However, it is important to note that these finishes are temporary and require proper care to ensure their longevity. For engagement and wedding rings, consider purchasing silver without colored plating like rose gold, yellow gold or black rhodium, these finishes fade faster compared to white gold overlay.

Silver Marking: S925 (Sterling Silver), 925RG (Silver+Rose Gold), 925YG (Silver+Yellow Gold), 925WG (Silver+White Gold), S700 (Silver+Platinum)

DO NOT PURCHASE SILVER WITH COLORED PLATING if you are looking for something that will last forever. Colored plating on silver pieces will fade.

BLACK PLATED JEWELRY: Black plating is a temporary finish and may wear off with frequent use. Plating longevity is dependent on the wearer and the level of care given to the jewelry. We have seen plating last anywhere from days, to months to even years. 

TUNGSTEN CARBIDE: Known for its exceptional hardness and durability. Highly resistant to scratches and dents, making it a popular choice for rings and other jewelry. Often has a polished, brushed, or matte finish. These finishes are typically permanent and won't wear off easily. However, certain finishes, such as coatings, might wear off over time with heavy use.

TITANIUM: Exceptionally durable, titanium provides a lighter-weight and hypoallergenic option. Can come in various finishes, including polished, brushed, or coated. While the metal itself is durable, certain finishes, such as coatings, might wear off over time with heavy use. 

STAINLESS STEEL: Resistance to corrosion and tarnish makes it an ideal choice for jewelry, especially rings. Generally more budget-friendly than precious metal. The durability of these finishes can vary. For example, a polished finish might show scratches more easily than a brushed finish.

BRASS/COPPER: These pieces are stylish but not recommended for daily use. The finish is not permanent.
