OUR GEMSTONES

Our signature use of laboratory-grown and created gemstones are of the highest quality and durability, designed to last a lifetime and beyond. Every laboratory-grown and created gemstone is carefully selected for its beauty and optical qualities, determined by its brilliance, colour, clarity, hardness, durability and pricing. The gemological composition and chemical structure of the stones we use can be identical (known as synthesised) or different (known as simulated) to its natural mined counterparts. From the rough stone, it is then cut, faceted, polished and set painstakingly by hand using traditional artisanal techniques.

Laboratory-grown gemstones are stones grown and created in a science laboratory, man-made, rather than mined from the ground and from nature. They exist in two genres, synthesized gemstones and simulated gemstones.


Synthesised Gemstones

A laboratory-grown SYNTHESISED gemstone shares identical optical and gemological qualities to natural mined gemstones. They have the same chemical composition, structure and hardness, colours and brilliance to their natural mined counterparts. Synthesized gemstones can also have inclusions or perfect clarity.
