Bostonian Diamond Jewelers
The Bostonian Diamond standard means that you acquire a diamond
with remarkable beauty and exceptional value.
    
Selecting the perfect diamond for an engagement ring, wedding band or any celebration is a process.
An experience which cannot be entered lightly, but that should not be painful either. A diamond is measured by its performance or overall brilliance with the grading system. This system breaks down the characteristics of the stone by the cut, clarity, color and carat size. Although some diamonds may have the same statistics, it does not mean
they look the same. A diamond’s beauty can only be measured by the eyes of the beholder. Each is unique.

Nature, Perfected®
Rather than growing in our earth and being mined, Apollo
cultured 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 that is in every respect
chemically, optically, and physically identical to mined diamonds;
A purely revolutionary diamond.
Apollo Diamond 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.
These diamonds are part of Apollo's Inventors Edition.
For the first time ever, they have released a limited
quantity for sale to the general public. Come visit our
showroom to view these revolutionary cultured diamonds in person.
The Inventors Edition is a true piece of history.
