Fall in Love with Lab Grown Gemstone Engagement Rings

You’ve likely never pictured yourself (or your partner) wearing a diamond engagement ring, which is why you’re here! Lab grown gemstones like sapphires, spinel or rubies make unique, one of a kind engagement rings.

What are Lab Grown Gemstones?

If you’re looking for a bright, colourful engagement ring, lab created gems are a wonderful alternative to earth mined gemstones.

They are physically and chemically identical to their earth-mined counterparts but instead of being mined from the earth, they are grown in a lab.

What Types of Gemstones can be Lab Grown?

Alexis Gallery offers lab grown diamonds, sapphires, rubies, alexandrite, emeralds and spinel. You may be surprised by the range of colours that our lab sapphires come in, from shades of pink to blue, yellow, teal, champagne and beyond.

Why Choose a Lab Gemstone?

High quality, reduced carbon footprint, cost effective available in a range of show-stopping colours.

Create your custom engagement ring with one of 20 different coloured lab gemstones, available in whatever shape, size and hue you’re dreaming of.

💎 Earth Mined Gemstones 💎

Earth mined gemstones are natural crystals formed by nature, which can commonly cause natural variations like bi-colour and zoning. They can be more prone to inclusions and cloudiness, but that is part of their one-of-a-kind quality. Our skilled jewelers can help acquire the right piece and cut for your engagement ring.

💎 Lab Grown Gemstones 💎

Lab made gems are grown using controlled methods that produce consistent colour, saturation, and high clarity. Their creation happens in a specialized chamber, which means stones like a blue sapphire can be made with reliable beauty and fewer visible inclusions. They are often less expensive, with consistent pricing across colours and sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lab Grown Gemstones

Are lab grown gemstones real?

Yes, lab grown gemstones are real gemstones, not simulants or lookalikes. The main difference is how they form: in a controlled environment rather than underground over decades. In many cases, they offer strong colour and clarity without relying on a mined stone.

How are lab grown gemstones made?

Lab grown gemstones are made by recreating the elements and conditions needed for crystal growth. Once grown, the stone is shaped through faceting and can be set in gold or other precious metals. At Alexis Gallery, we focus on beauty, structure, and suitability for the final design.

What are lab grown gemstones?

Lab grown gemstones are made above-ground and can be used in fine jewellery. They are not glass or imitation materials. They can be a beautiful option when clients want vivid colour and clarity without spending more dollars than needed.
