Lab Grown Sapphires? Why not.
Lab-grown sapphires and natural sapphires are real sapphires, not imitations. They share the same chemical composition, crystal structure, hardness, and optical brilliance. Once cut and set in jewellery, they are visually identical — the difference lies only in how and where they are formed.
