Does anyone have any thoughts on Diamond Nexus?

Just curious...

It's overpriced CZ, despite what they claim.

I got one back in 2006 and it clouded within a year.

It is just CZ, nothing special about their “diamonds”, there is no “diamond coating” or any other nonsense they say in their marketing. They use a slightly different variation of components to make their “diamonds” but they are basically cubic zirconia. They say their “formula is secret”, yeah, because it’s just a CZ.
Hugely overpriced, heaps of complaints but fine if you like their settings and like a CZ but nothing special.
And just so you understand better Mohos scale of Hardness - yes Diamond is 10, but the relative difference between “hardness” isn’t linear, the difference in hardness between “9 and 10” is actually multiple times greater than the difference between “1 and 9”. So it’s really like sapphire is 9 and diamond is 50.

You're much better off purchasing a Moissonite from a reputable vendor such as loveaffairdiamonds.com or augustvintageinc.com, have them make something for you. I purchased a dbty necklace from Diamond Nexus many years ago and the stones looked bad after a few years. Never again!
