The Lab Gem Supplier

There have been more and more news stories of late focusing on prosecutions stemming from the distribution of “counterfeit” jewelry.  Public auction and sale sites like E-bay and Craigslist have pretty effective security measures in place to prevent intentional wrong doing, but it would be virtually impossible for their security or the authorities to fully police every single transaction that gets posted do to the sheer volume of activity and because of this some fraudulent transactions do slip under the radar every once in a while.

Though E-bay prides itself on protecting its buyers, the latest news story of a fraudulent transaction actually caught the seller by surprise.  An Ohio woman was recently caught by surprise after listing what she thought to be an authentic pair of Tiffany & Co. earrings on the popular auction site only to find that what she had was a very good replication of the beautiful jewelry.  In an effort to protect their brand, Tiffany & Co. took necessary action against the woman and issued a fine for upwards of $500 for damages.

This unfortunate situation serves a perfect example of the ability to accurately re-create jewelry to look like an original.  Even the most bold and beautiful pieces of jewelry containing the biggest and most brilliant natural gems can be effectively replicated with lab created gems for a fraction of the price.

Cz and other lab created gems so closely resemble natural gems that even professional jewelers may need special equipment to identify which one is the natural gem and which one was lab created.  Though this could certainly lead to some difficult situations when purchasing what you believe to be natural gem jewelry, it is a testament to the quality of lab created gems.  If you want to be confident that you are getting a great value when shopping for jewelry online, and that you are actually getting what you pay for – you might want to consider just buying jewelry that is advertised as containing lab created gems.  You’ll still be getting a top quality piece that is durable and beautiful and you won’t have to worry about the possibility of fraud.
