Synthetic Gemstones

syn·​thet·​ic gem·​stone | sin-ˈthe-tik jem-ˌstōnz

noun

A gemstone that was produced in laboratory rather than found in nature

A synthetic gemstone is one that has been produced in a laboratory instead of being found naturally. However, this does not make the resulting stone fake. Rather, laboratory processes are able to perfectly emulate the chemical characteristics of a natural stone, ensuring that the resulting gemstone is flawless and matches the composition of the real thing, while making it more affordable and sustainable than a mined natural stone. Synthetic options are available for a number of types of gemstones including diamonds, rubies, emeralds, opals, and sapphires.
