    I deal with a fair amount of lab grown diamond and have yet to see a
    truly colorless one in 1 c....close, but not really. 

    Moissanite is a poor substitute...if she decides to go with a
    simulant, there are much better options than synthetic Moissanite,
    ones that are NOT doubly refractive (facet doubling), hard and
    colorless, too. I cut and sell them all the time, but they are not
    commercially available anywhere that I know of.... 

    Anyway, colorless lab grown diamond is getting very close.
