The same applies to emeralds. I have a natural emerald ring in 18K and lab grown emerald stud earrings in 14K. Honestly, I like the lab grown better because like you say in your video, the stones are perfect. The color is much more vivid and saturated. The lab grown stones are also flawless, while the natural emerald has inclusions.

The difference is very noticeable! I never paid attention that much to it! Thanks for this informative video Jill! Can’t wait for tomorrow’s!

I was thinking about lab-grown gems vs. naturally occurring ones as an ethical choice. I never thought much about how any minerals are mined until I saw a documentary on the production of natural mica. Eye-opening. Don't know anything about the treatment of gem miners but it's worth the time to research.

Jill, I love the videos. You're clear and precise with your delivery of information and it's perfect for my brain. Thanks for explaining the differences and why they cost so much more, I had no idea sapphires were so rare!

Love my lab grown purple sapphire! It even color shifts, which is such a sweet bonus. Grateful to have been able to get a 4 carat round stone for a much better price than a natural would have been and to be able to eliminate the mining factor.

I LOVE lab made gemstones!!! :D

I think you could add that a lab sapphire is chemically, physically, visually (did I miss anything) the same as natural sapphire.

Great question! I've wondered this about other stones. My guess would be that if the chemical composition is the same then they are real, the only difference is the process by which they are made. Kind of like an LV bag being made in France vs the USA. Same thing, different origin. I wonder if there are other differences, though, and you did explain that here in the case of sapphires. Another great video, Jill!

Great to know. Will machine tell ? How ? Thank You so much for sharing darling ❤️

Ok for the uninitiated - if you are looking for sapphire of high quality 1/2 to 1 ct if both are real and like diamonds the best quality (say as a duel linking to a main diamond of 5ct . I know colour is a major factor but are there other ways to tell if either stone is are classed as flawless

Very informative video thanks for sharing

This is something that’s important to me. Sapphire is my birthstone.

My birthstone is emerald but I love the sapphire and I love lab created sapphire. As an average person who is untrained I can’t tell which is natural or created. I love the price difference lol

I’ve always wondered about that, specially when talking about mores expensive stones...seems if it’s composition is the same, they should be considered real...however, when you consider everything, they are not the same thing...

Well explained logically.

To my surprise, I thought you’d be wearing blue for your sapphire video. What will you wear for your emerald video?😉

Great info!

I’m having trouble with the idea of lab grown diamonds and natural diamonds. I know that they are identical to a real diamond and even though I’m being told they are real as well, I feel like it’s the process that makes them fake. Is it like a cz or a moissanite? I want to know that if im spending money on a lab grown diamond, it’s not just considered real but it is real. Please help me understand.

is this gemstone as effective as natural for astrological purposes.we use gemstones for occult purposes here in india and for treating diseases.

I got 6 carat lab grown sapphire ring for my girl. It is very beautiful and perfect.
