CULTURED GEMSTONES
Many of us love gemstones because of their magical earthly quality and intense array of colors. They are symbols of romance, beauty, and inner strength. Most natural gemstones used in jewelry are mined from the earth, a process fraught with ethical and environmental concerns.
Real Gemstones
Through advance technology, we are able to replicate the force of nature in state-of-the-art laboratories, creating rubies, sapphires, and emeralds that are physically and chemically identical to their earth-mined counterparts.
Sustainably Created
The mining process used to harvest gemstones from the earth is much more dangerous and toxic than most consumers realize. Mining operations use an incredible amount of fossil fuels to operate and often leave the earth where the mine was situated irreparable for decades. Laboratories that create gemstones, on the other hand, use a fraction of the energy that mining operations do, and do not destroy any land in the process.
Affordable Luxury
Because lab-created gemstones are much more efficient and take fewer resources to harvest, they can be included in jewelry for a fraction of the cost. This helps consumers have greater access to rare gemstones such as rubies and sapphires that would otherwise be out of the price range for many. You can get the same look and feel of these expensive gemstones without the prohibitive cost.
Unparalleled Beauty
Gemstones mined from the earth will often have impurities or inclusions and have to be cut down to size to make them suitable for jewelry. This not only reduces the amount of gemstone available in the mining process, but means that not all natural gemstones are of the same aesthetic quality. With carefully controlled lab environments and processes, our lab-created gemstones, on the other hand, are aesthetically pure and optically superior to most mined gemstones.
We love our Mother Earth, and want to protect her by using eco-friendly processes wherever possible. By using lab-created gemstones we can reduce our own environmental impact while providing our customers with the best-quality, affordable pieces for their jewelry collection.
