Unless you're a certified gemologist with a powerful microscope, you won't be able to tell the difference between created and mined gemstones. Why Purchase a Lab Grown Sapphire? Identical Physical, Optical and Chemical Properties Sapphires grown in a lab pretty much have the same atomic and optical properties of a sapphire mined from the earth. Once the required combination of chemical and environmental factors is duplicated from nature, the crystals grow over the course of a year, the length of time depending on the gemstone. This is not dissimilar from the way pearls are cultured. Founded by Cal Tech chemist Carrol Chatham (who tried to recreate diamond in his home lab at age 12!), the company has been producing gemstones in a laboratory setting, from ruby and sapphire, to emerald and alexandrite since the 1930s.Ī Chatham sapphire is not an imitation, rather it is an actual sapphire grown in a human-controlled environment.
We offer you lab created sapphires from Chatham, a renowned leader in lab-grown gemstones.
