What is American diamond jewellery?

American diamond jewellery uses cubic zirconia (CZ), a lab-made crystal cut to look like a diamond. The name "American diamond" is common across Nepal and India, where AD sets are a wedding and festival staple.

At Boutique Nepal, our AD jewellery is made on a brass or copper base, finished with gold, silver or rose gold plating, so each piece has real diamond-style brilliance while staying light and affordable.

American diamonds are not real diamonds. They are a well-made alternative for a bridal or party look without fine jewellery prices.

How do I care for American diamond jewellery?

1

Put jewellery on last, after perfume, hairspray and makeup.

2

Remove before showering, swimming or washing up.

3

Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth after each wear.

4

Store each set separately in its box or a zip bag so stones don't scratch.

5

Keep it out of humid bathrooms. Sydney and Brisbane summers speed up tarnishing on plated brass.

American diamond jewellery FAQs

What is American diamond jewellery?
American diamond jewellery is made with cubic zirconia (CZ), a lab-made stone cut to look like a diamond. At Boutique Nepal, it is set on a brass or copper base with gold, silver or rose gold plating, and is popular for Nepali and Indian weddings and festivals because it sparkles like diamonds at a much lower price.
Is American diamond a real diamond?
No. American diamond is cubic zirconia, not a natural or lab-grown diamond. It looks similar, but it is softer (about 8 to 8.5 on the Mohs scale versus 10) and costs far less, which makes it ideal for occasion wear.
What is the difference between American diamond and kundan jewellery?
American diamond uses faceted CZ stones that give a bright, modern sparkle. Kundan uses flat, uncut glass stones set in foil, giving a traditional, royal look. AD suits both modern and traditional outfits; kundan leans heavily traditional and bridal.
Does American diamond jewellery tarnish?
The CZ stones do not tarnish, but the plated brass or copper base can dull over time if it is exposed to water, sweat, perfume or humidity. Stored dry and wiped after wear, a set can stay bright for many seasons of weddings and festivals.
Can I wear American diamond jewellery every day?
You can, but it lasts longest when kept for occasions. For daily wear, choose lighter pieces like small earrings, and always remove them before showering, swimming or exercising.
Is American diamond jewellery good for sensitive skin?
It depends on the piece. Boutique Nepal AD jewellery is made with a brass or copper base, which suits many people, but those sensitive to brass or copper may react with long wear. Check each product description for materials, and wear it for a short time first if your skin is reactive.
Do you deliver American diamond jewellery across Australia?
Yes. We ship American diamond jewellery Australia-wide, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide and Canberra. You can also shop in person at our Auburn store in Sydney.
Can I return American diamond jewellery?
