    I have never dealt with the company, but stay away from them. 

    Here is why: 

>     Briolite is a synthetic gemstone created using a method called

>     every aesthetic property.

    This is a description of Cubic Zirconia manufacturing process. 

    Zirconium Oxide cannot be melted in any container due to the high
    temperature required. It is packed in crucible and subjected to radio
    frequencies which caused the inside of pack to melt and upon cooling
    to re-crystalize. The outside of the pack contains melted inside. So
    called "Skull" method. 

    So while the description is technically correct, it meant to conceal
    the fact that material is a CZ. 

    To me it is a Red Flag
