Lab-grown sapphires are synthetic gemstones created in a controlled environment, replicating the natural processes that produce genuine sapphires.
Are lab-created gemstones valuable
Eco-friendly gemstones are valuable because they are real gemstones and have fewer inclusions, making them more affordable than mined counterparts.
Are lab rubies as durable as mined sapphire
Lab-grown sapphires are just as durable as mined sapphires.Mined sapphires often contain natural inclusions and imperfections, which can impact their durability. Lab-grown sapphires are typically created in controlled environments, allowing for fewer inclusions, which may enhance their overall durability.
Do lab sapphire have imperfections
While lab-grown sapphires can have imperfections, they generally have fewer and are often of higher clarity compared to mined sapphires. The controlled creation process allows for more consistent quality and appearance in lab-grown stones.
What is CVD (Chemical Vapour Deposition)
CVD is a process to create lab-grown diamonds using high pressure and temperature to break down methane into carbon and hydrogen. Atomic hydrogen helps form diamonds.
