Wear the ruby jewelry instead!
OK, I know that technically Dorothy needed the slippers to get her out of OZ, but none of us have that excuse do we?
A couple of years ago a customer asked me to design a ring using a ruby gemstone. I had not worked with rubies before so was excited for the challenge. When researching the options we ultimately chose a lab grown gemstone. What’s the difference?
Stones created in a lab are chemically, physically and optically identical to those mined underground — but they have fewer flaws, a lighter carbon footprint and cost less, too.
I now use several lab grown precious gems in my work. Gems such as emerald and sapphire as a mined stone are just cost prohibitive for my designs. Isnt it terrific that we now have this alternative method to all enjoy the beauty of these stones?
Did you know? The name ruby comes from the Latin word ruber, which means “red.” People in India believed that rubies enabled their owners to live in peace with their enemies.
This ring also features ruby faceted lab grown gems. See all designs for sale here
