FAQS

Keep in mind the type of gemstone you want, of course, your budget, and the 4Cs. Don’t forget to consider any treatments and look for certification.

 

The only difference is where they come from. Gemstones from the lab are just as real as those found in the earth. They just have a different origin story.

 

The most common treatments are heat, irradiation, and filling. While these treatments improve the gemstone’s appearance, they can (but do not always) lower its value, making these beautiful pieces more affordable.

 

Do your research! Read customer reviews and make sure their products are certified. Check their return policies and always look for jewelry associated with and/or uses certificates from professional organizations such as the AGS or GIA.

 

Make sure to safely store your gemstone and keep it clean. And, of course, enjoy it!
