No, definitely not! Some other companies claiming to have the most perfect diamond simulants are actually only using cubic zirconias which have no coating. Cubics have a hardness value of 8.5, they will get scratched over time which will affect their brilliance. CZs also absorb dirt and oils into their surface and need to be cleaned frequently.
