Just thought you'd like to know that Diamond Nexus Labs' gems have Canadian Government expert jewelers thoroughly fooled. I recently had a "problem" with this product that you might want to know about. My "problem" is probably also a great testament to DNL's miraculous synthetic diamonds. I recently ordered a pair of 2 carat round stud earrings from http://diamondnexuslabs.com/. I live outside of Calgary in Alberta Province, Canada. The stud earrings cost me less than $200. When the package got to customs on the Canadian border the customs agent opened the package to do a routine inspection. They identified the studs as real diamonds and assigned a value of $15,000 to them. They informed me that I would have to pay a $3500 customs fee to have the package released to me. I informed them that the studs were synthetic diamonds and not mined diamonds and that I had paid under $200. They said they would get back to me. A day later they informed me that they had had their jewelry expert examine the stones and that they still classified them as natural diamonds with a value of $15,000. Only after I was able to direct them to the Diamond Nexus Labs' web site and show them the item and the price did they believe me and released the package to me. The last thing the customs official laughingly told me was "Well, I know what I'll be buying my wife this Christmas."
