Lab-Grown Gemstones

About our lab-grown gemstones

Lab-grown corundum and beryl: sapphire in the usual blues plus padparadscha and fancy colours, ruby, and emerald. These are grown rather than mined, with the same crystal structure as the natural stone, which is why they cut and set like the real material rather than like glass.

The category mixes loose stones and finished pieces because buyers use both: setters buy rough-cut sizes, brands buy finished pendants and rings. Each listing states which it is.

Disclosure applies here as it does to lab-grown diamond: the stone type is named on the invoice, and 'created' or 'lab-grown' appears in the description wherever the material is mentioned.

What buyers usually ask before the first order

The patterns below come from repeat purchase data, not from a marketing brief. If your assortment differs, say so in the enquiry and we will quote against your spec instead of ours.

Stone and metal combinations

Most of this category is produced in 925 sterling silver with rhodium plating, because that keeps the landed cost low enough to test a new design. Once a style proves itself, the same CAD file is re-cast in 10K, 14K or 18K gold — no new tooling, no new mould cost.

Sizing and finishing

Rings are made to US, UK or EU sizes on request; bracelets and chains ship at 16–20 inches unless a length is specified. Plating thickness is recorded per batch, which matters if your market tests for nickel release.

Reorder behaviour

SKUs are permanent. A reorder of the same SKU in a later season uses the original CAD and the original stone sourcing, so the second delivery matches the first.

Price band for this category

Current factory listings sit between $18 and $120 per piece. The range reflects stone size, metal choice and setting labour — a 0.5 ct silver solitaire and a 3 ct gold three-stone sit at opposite ends of the same category.

Percentages are the discount our buyers typically negotiate at each tier; the firm number is confirmed on the quote.
