lab-grown emeralds

Our lab-grown emeralds have been formed using the hydrothermal method - a sophisticated process that closely mimics the natural conditions under which emeralds form. The method involves dissolving nutrients, typically beryllium and aluminium, in a high-temperature, high-pressure solution of water within a sealed environment. Over time, emerald crystals precipitate from this solution onto a seed crystal, growing layer by layer. The emeralds that form possess the same chemical composition and crystal structure as their natural counterparts, with vibrant, vivid green hues and remarkable clarity. Lab-grown emeralds sit across our new Chloe collection, spanning rings, necklaces, earrings and bracelets, each set in 18k gold vermeil. 

lab-grown diamonds

Our lab-grown Diamonds are formed using the CVD and HPHT methods - two processes that use cutting-edge technology to create Diamonds that are chemically and physically identical to the natural stones. These methods subject Diamond seeds to high temperatures and pressures that mimic mine conditions, combining them with rich gases until the seed grows layer by layer to form a perfect Diamond.  Just like natural Diamonds, these lab-grown stones score a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale of hardness, making them extremely durable and perfect for everyday wear. With no mining required and the ability to have a completely transparent supply chain, lab-grown stones are growing in popularity as a more affordable, (yet completely identical) alternative to natural stones -  we are so pleased to respond to this increasing interest with the introduction of our Chloe collection. For those who love the character, history and authenticity of natural stones, you can explore our collections here and read about our sustainably sourced stones here. Shop the Chloe collection 

Lab-GROWN RUBIES

Our lab-grown rubies are created through the Czochralski process - a refined technique used for cultivating high-quality gemstones. This advanced method involves melting aluminum oxide and introducing a seed crystal, which is slowly pulled upward while rotating, allowing the ruby to form layer by layer. The process ensures precision and clarity, producing vibrant red rubies with the same chemical and physical properties as natural ones, but often with fewer inclusions and a higher degree of optical clarity. You can find red rubies across our Aya Essentials collection - set into 18kt gold vermeil necklaces that are designed to be layered. The Aya Essentials collection delivers luxurious, high-quality pieces that align with modern values of sustainability and ethical craftsmanship.
