WHAT ARE LAB-GROWN GEMSTONES?
Lab-grown gemstones are genuine gemstones created through advanced technology in a controlled laboratory environment rather than formed naturally beneath the earth. They share the same essential chemical composition, crystal structure, and physical and optical properties as their earth-mined counterparts. Their color, brilliance, clarity, and durability come from the same fundamental gemstone science—the difference is simply their origin.
At Dee Fine Jewels, lab-grown gemstones allow us to celebrate exceptional beauty through a modern approach to fine jewelry. Each stone is carefully selected for its color, cut, clarity, and brilliance, then transformed into timeless pieces designed to be treasured.
WHAT IGI SAY ABOUT LAB-GROWN GEMSTONES?
According to IGI, lab-grown gemstones possess essentially the same chemical, optical, and physical properties as their natural counterparts. Their distinction lies in their origin—not in their fundamental gemstone characteristics.
At Dee Fine Jewels, transparency and authenticity are at the heart of every gemstone we offer. All our gemstones are accompanied by IGI or IGTL certification, providing detailed information about the gemstone and helping you purchase with confidence.
LAB-GROWN VS. NATURAL GEMSTONES — THE DIFFERENCE?
One of the most common questions about lab-grown gemstones is how they compare with gemstones formed naturally within the Earth. The answer begins with their origin: natural gemstones are created through geological processes over millions of years, while lab-grown gemstones are cultivated in controlled laboratory environments using advanced technology.
In terms of gemstone properties: Lab-grown gemstones can possess the same essential chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness, and optical characteristics as their natural counterparts. A laboratory-grown ruby is still ruby, and a laboratory-grown sapphire is still sapphire. What distinguishes them is how they were formed.
In terms of appearance: Both natural and lab-grown gemstones can display exceptional color, clarity, brilliance, and beauty. Lab-grown stones offer greater consistency in color and availability, while natural gemstones can exhibit unique variations and natural inclusions created during their geological formation.
In terms of inclusions: Natural gemstones often contain mineral inclusions and growth characteristics that reflect their geological journey. Lab-grown gemstones may contain different growth features created during the laboratory process. These characteristics can help gemologists distinguish between natural and laboratory-grown stones.
In terms of value: Natural gemstones can command significant premiums based on rarity, origin, quality, and demand. Lab-grown gemstones are generally more accessible, allowing you to choose larger or higher-quality stones at a different price point.
In terms of choice: Natural gemstones offer the individuality of nature, with every stone shaped by its own geological history. Lab-grown gemstones offer a modern alternative, combining gemstone beauty with controlled production and consistent availability.
At Dee Fine Jewels, we believe both have their own story. Whether formed deep within the Earth or created through modern technology, every gemstone we select is chosen for its beauty, quality, and character—and presented with certification for greater transparency and confidence.
