John Littlefield “Johnny” from TV shows like “Another World” and “Extreme Make Over Home Edition” has come aboard as an endorser and board member for The Greener Diamond.org. Johnny along with his beautiful wife Nadine Stenovich came to NY to aid MiaDonna in launching its charity foundation The Greener Diamond.org. We are currently designing a shirt for Johnny to wear on the show. The first episode of Johnny in the shirt will be airing Sunday nights on Extreme Make Over Home Edition some time in February in a segment shot in Dallas, Texas. The shirts will be available to purchase at The Greener Diamond.org and MiaDonna.com. 100% of the proceeds from the shirt sales will be donated to Kimmie Week’s foundation  ”Youth Action International” and will aid us in converting an old diamond mine into a rice field that will employ former childhood soldiers to farm. There will be much more to come on this project and the shirts.

Simulated Diamonds / Diamond Simulants as defined on MiaDonna’s Certified Authentification Cards issued by the Global Gemological Laboratory A Diamond Grading and Appraisal Laboratory.

A Diamond Simulant is defined by the Gemological Institute of America as ” Any material that is not Diamond or Synthetic Diamond, but which imitates a diamond’s appearance and is used in its place.

The MiaDonna Stone starts with a core crystal we call the seed. We take the core crystal and place it in a chamber of heat and pressure other wise known as an HPHT treatment. Using High Pressure we blast man made diamond crystals into the seed building a layer of diamond on the core crystal. Intense heat is then used to re align the man made diamond crystals. The finished product is a core crystal with an infused outer layer of man made diamond.

MiaDonna is the only Engagement Ring and Wedding Ring retailer on the internet today that offers our Simulated Diamond Hybrid. Every MiaDonna Diamond Hybrid comes with Technological verification from the reputable Global Gem Lab and MiaDonna offers the option to have your stone graded on its 4C’s by the lab as well available at checkout.

“A Quote From Kimmie”

“Having grown up in the midst of a Liberian Civil war fueled by the diamond industry, I find the Greener Diamond project a very exciting one. The partnership between our organizations is seamless and I look forward to seeing its success. There is much to be done, ” says Kimmie Weeks, YAI founder,

MiaDonna and The Greener Diamond are committed to doing everything we can to support YAI and Kimmie. We are truley honored to be allowed to work with Kimmie. We are currently developing a plan to raise funds for Kimmie in 2009.

We made this video to show everyone who we are and what we believe in. MiaDonna and The Greener Diamond were created at the same time. There was never going to be one with out the other. MiaDonna offers consumers an alternative to inflated diamond prices and environmentally damaging mining. The Greener Diamond educates consumers and repairs some of the damage done by the diamond trade.
