Lab - Created gemstones

Eco-Friendly Gemstones
for the Environmentally Conscious


A lab-created gemstone holds the same physical, optical and chemical properties as their earth mined counterparts, however, they are grown in a lab and not in the earth. In addition to their environmentally friendly attributes, lab-grown gemstones are more affordable than earth mined gemstones!
 

Lab-Created Sapphires

Lab-Created Emeralds

Infinity Leaf Diamond Engagement Ring with Lab-Created Emerald Center StoneLast, but certainly not least, are lab-grown emeralds also grown by Chatham. Earth mined emeralds can get very pricey, which makes the lab-grown alternative a great option for those who do not want to sacrifice quality for budget. In many cases lab grown emeralds can be better looking as they have less fissures and inclusions that naturally occur in emeralds.
