Rather than growing in our earth and being mined, Apollo (R) - created diamonds are grown in a highly complex and
controlled laboratory environment. The complex new process builds pure diamond from carbon, one atom at a time.
The result is an Apollo Cultured Diamond TM gemstone that is
in every respect chemically, optically, and physically identical to mined diamonds;
A purely revolutionary diamond.
Apollo has dedicated 15 years to perfect the art and technology of growing their cultured diamonds. In 2006,
Apollo began selling colorless and near colorless cultured diamonds to select consumers.
For the first time ever, they have released a limited quantity for sale to the general public. Come visit our
Downtown Boston showroom to view these revolutionary Apollo (R) - created diamonds in person.
