12.1c Round Cut Synthetic Ruby

$25.00/carat

Synthetic rubies may look just like natural ones, but they're created by scientists in labs. Since they have the same physical and chemical structure as a natural ruby, synthetic rubies are still considered real.

Reasons to buy synthetic, they are very durable – often more durable than naturally-mined rubies. Second, they tend to have a deep, rich color that is very saturated and evenly distributed. This is often difficult to find in naturally-mined rubies. Lab-created rubies look identical to mined rubies and are more affordable than their natural counterparts (because they don’t need to be mined – which can be quite costly).

So if you’re looking to learn more about this affordable alternative to a natural ruby, a lab-created ruby is definitely worth considering.
