Lab-Created Ruby Ring 7 mm
Laboratory-grown ruby, 7 mm, in a silver bezel. Grown, not found.
Coloured stones are natural material. Colour, tone, inclusion pattern and — on cabochons and uncut pieces — outline and size differ from one to the next. Two pieces of the same reference will not be identical.

About this piece
Ruby was the first gemstone manufactured at commercial scale — Verneuil flame-fusion synthesis has been running since 1902 — which is precisely why this site labels the distinction on every ruby it sells. This stone is lab-created corundum: the same chemistry, the same Mohs 9, grown in a furnace. It is offered as a laboratory-grown stone at a laboratory-grown price, not as a natural ruby.
