The Lab Gem Supplier

What’s in a name? Sometimes quite a bit. Although laymen may use the terms lab, created, simulated and synthetic indiscriminately when talking about gemstones, wholesale gem experts understand that while some of these terms are interchangeable, others can indicate distinct differences in composition or production that affect the quality of the gem being offered for sale. Savvy wholesale gem consumers who want to make certain they are purchasing only the best, top-quality loose cubic zirconia and loose lab created gems will learn how the industry uses and distinguishes between these terms.

Lab, created, lab created and synthetic are all used to describe gems created in the laboratory under precisely controlled and exacting conditions. A lab created gem has exactly the same optical, chemical and tangible properties as the natural gem it reproduces. High-quality lab created gems not only look, feel and sparkle like their natural counterparts, they are chemically identical. Without a microscope or laboratory testing, even gem experts may be unable to tell whether a gem was created by nature or in the lab.

To be labeled a synthetic gem, a lab created gem must precisely resemble the natural gem it mimics. If even the tiniest variation in chemistry is present between the created gem and a natural gem, the lab created gemstone cannot be labeled a true synthetic. In fact, labeling of lab created gems as synthetic, lab-grown, laboratory-grown, lab-created or laboratory-created is strictly regulated by the Federal Trade Commission. Simulated gems, on the other hand, are manmade gems that may resemble the natural gem but are chemically, physically and optically different from nature’s creation.
