Chatham lab-grown gemstones have the exact same chemical, optical, and physical properties as mined gemstones. The only difference is that they are grown in the labratory that recreates the conditions in which sapphires and rubies are created in the earth. The resulting gemstone rough is then cut by Chatham’s master stone cutters cut to perfect proportions, often times sacrificing up to 80% of the rough in order to achieve the perfect gem. The cut, clarity, and color are far superior to nearly all mined sapphires on the market. The superior quality and color of Chatham’s sapphires is on par with the most expensive sapphires and rubies in the world -- but for a tiny fraction of the price.

Lab-grown diamonds have the exact chemical, optical, and physical properties as mined diamonds, which means they look visually identical. The only difference is that lab-created diamonds are grown in laboratories that recreate the same environment that causes diamonds to form in the earth. The other benefit is that lab-grown diamonds have a smaller carbon footprint and less humanitarian impact than mined diamonds. These lab-grown accent diamonds are custom cut for Kristin down to the hundredth of a millimeter into the perfectly calibrated sizes needed to achieve each unique design.
