Then, stick around because we are about to spill the tea on why a lab made sapphire is your way to shine smarter.
What is a Lab Grown Sapphire?
If you think that lab created sapphires are “second best”, it’s time to reveal the truth. A lab grown sapphire is chemically, physically and optically identical to a natural sapphire. The only difference lies in their formation process. A natural sapphire is formed over millions of years deep within the Earth’s crust.
On the other hand, a lab created sapphire is formed under the controlled environment of a manufacturing facility using advanced technology. The result is a flawless sapphire that not only looks and feels like its natural counterpart but is actually real.
Think of it like this, a natural sapphire is like an old, vintage wine- pricey and rare. However, a lab created sapphire is like a fancy cocktail- delightful and easily accessible. In other words, it’s a perfect mix of glam and guilt-free indulgence.

Breaking the Myths about Lab-Created Sapphires
Lab grown sapphires have taken the world of jewelry by storm. Modern day couples and jewelry lovers are opting for lab created sapphires over natural ones. But there are still some stubborn misconceptions about the authenticity of the lab grown sapphires. Let’s get the records straight so that you can give these gems the credit they deserve.
Myth 1: “Lab Grown Sapphires are Not Real Gemstones, they are Fake.”
Without a doubt, this is the biggest myth that a lab grown sapphire is not real. Lab created sapphires are as real as natural sapphires. From composition to durability, a lab grown sapphire exhibits the same properties as a natural sapphire. In short, they are identical in every way. They look, feel and sparkle exactly the same. Next time someone says that your sapphire is fake; you can confidently say that your lab created gem is the real deal.
Myth 2: “Lab Created Sapphires are Less Valuable.”
Value isn’t always about the price of the gemstone. It’s also about the gemstone’s beauty, quality and personal significance. A lab grown sapphire is affordable and often surpasses a natural sapphire in terms of quality. Natural sapphires may have inclusions and imperfections while a lab created sapphire offers stunning clarity and even coloring. Isn’t that a win-win?
Myth 3: “Lab Grown Sapphires Don’t Sparkle As Much.”
While lab grown sapphires are budget-friendly, this doesn’t mean they don’t sparkle like their natural counterparts. A lab created sapphire reflects light as brilliantly as a natural sapphire. This is because they are crafted to perfection in controlled environments by experts and scientists. This means that a lab created sapphire’s clarity is often superior, allowing it to shine and sparkle brilliantly.
