DNA Gemstone

To encapsulate the sample, a small hole is created from the point of the gemstone. After the sample and Color Dot have been placed, the hole is filled with NASA grade epoxy resin and sealed with a second melee stone of the gemstone material. This process results in a gemstone that is slightly more delicate and may alter the clarity and color of the original gemstone. Extreme temperatures exceeding 200 degrees Fahrenheit should be avoided to prevent the resin from melting within the stone.

If your gemstone contains DNA, prolonged heat exposure should be avoided, and the stone should not be stored in direct sunlight. Both may result in the DNA breaking down and make it unusable for testing in the future.

The customer must inform jewelers about DNA Gemstone details and care before work begins. Hard impacts to the gemstone should be avoided. Clean gently with soap and water with a nonabrasive brush. Ultrasonic jewelry cleaners may be used, and standard care should be followed based on the stone type.

The care taken with the stone will affects its useful life and wear. DNA Gems LLC. is not responsible for failure to follow proper care guidelines or negligence.

Moissanite vs Cubic Zirconia

Moissanite is a very durable lab created material with a hardness of 9.25-9.5 (second only to diamond) and is great for everyday wear. Learn more about Moissanite.

Cubic Zirconia and other synthetic gemstone materials used in birthstone colored stones are slightly less durable with a hardness of 8.25-8.5. Cubic Zirconia is a great alternative gemstone material and is perfect for casual wear.
