AD stands for American Diamond, which is actually not a diamond at all — it's cubic zirconia (CZ), a synthetic crystal made to imitate the look of a real diamond. It's affordable, highly sparkly, and widely used in fashion and bridal jewellery in India. The term "American Diamond" is largely a marketing name used in the Indian market.

925 silver, also called Sterling Silver, means the metal is 92.5% pure silver mixed with 7.5% other metals (usually copper) for added strength and durability. Pure silver (99.9%) is too soft for everyday jewellery, so the alloy makes it more practical while retaining its beauty and value. The "925" stamp is a hallmark of authenticity.

Moissanite is a lab-created gemstone made of silicon carbide, originally discovered in a meteor crater by Henri Moissan in 1893. It is the closest alternative to a real diamond in terms of hardness (9.25 on Mohs scale vs diamond's 10) and brilliance — in fact, it has more fire and sparkle than a diamond. It is significantly more affordable than diamonds and is ethically sourced since it's lab-grown. Many modern buyers consciously choose Moissanite as a sustainable, stunning alternative.
