Cleaner and Bigger
With the availability of cleaner and bigger lab grown gemstones at an affordable price, your customers will love to commission you to make statement pieces.
In 1985, a report by the Gemological Institute of America (GIA) confirmed that a lab-grown emerald produced with the hydrothermal process was exceptionally clean and large. This method is significantly better than the flux melt process, which almost always produces flaws or inclusions. The report results still remain valid today.

Colombian Green
Green is the colour of life, peace and harmony. Emerald symbolises growth, energy, and fertility. Its rarity makes it a popular option for engagement rings.
With the persistent effort of our technical experts, the BIRON® lab grown gemstone manufacturing process has been advanced, making the highly sought-after Colombian Green lab grown emeralds more readily available. Characterised by their bluish-green to green colour and intense saturation, these gemstones has been beloved by royals, celebrities, and fashion icons from ancient to modern times.

99% Resemblance to Natural Emeralds
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What makes the inner world of mined Colombian emeralds fascinating is the three-phase inclusion (liquid, gas, and small crystal).
The hydrothermal process is relatively expensive because it requires high levels of heat and pressure to mimic conditions deep within the Earth. By carefully adjusting the production formula, natural-looking inclusions can be recreated. It is worth the expense because the lab grown emeralds produced using this process offer incomparable results.

Meet BIRON® Founder and Gemmologist Louis Lo
I still remembered the day when the US-based sustainable jewellery retailer came to me and sought my help urgently.
I am Louis Lo — a qualified gemmologist and former gemmology instructor who is passionate about promoting sustainable gemstones for a better world. For BIRON® emeralds, the company operates as a lab grown gemstone manufacturer, while other lab-grown gemstone types are sourced through its specialist network.
My journey to sustainable jewellery got started in 2012 when a leading lab-grown gemstone brand in North America asked me if I could source top-quality lab-grown emeralds for them.
Until then, I hadn’t realised how difficult it was to consistently find lab-grown emeralds with the same quality as their mined counterparts. The manufacturers I encountered always:
- over-promised, under-delivered;
- lack proactive communication about quality;
- lack visibility on the real status of sourcing;
- not willing to spend time trying to fully understand my requirements.
- not committed to quality control and assurance.

FAQs About Lab Grown Gemstones
Are lab-grown emeralds fragile and easy to break?
Lab grown emeralds sold under the BIRON® brand are always of the most superior quality and are less brittle than their natural counterparts and are therefore less susceptible to breakage. Other lab grown gemstones are sourced by us based on our 40 years of experience in the gem industry.
Will BIRON®gems lose their sparkle over time?
The composition of BIRON® lab-grown gems is almost identical to their natural counterparts. These are “real” gems, not fake ones, which are simply grown above the ground rather than underneath through processes that mimic the conditions of nature. BIRON® gems withstand the same wear as all precious and semi-precious stones.
How Does BIRON® Ensure Consistent Gemstone Quality?
Our ability to provide high-quality lab grown gems comes from three areas:
- Technology: Our lab grown emerald roughs are produced using a formula that enables a clear Colombian Green colour. Inclusions can also be added where desired, creating an appearance that closely resembles natural gemstones.
- Craftsmanship: Every gemstone is cut, multi-faceted and polished by hand.
- Strict quality control: We conduct 100% quality-control checks before our gemstones are shipped to clients.
How long will it take to get my lab-grown gems?
Our delivery time takes around three working days if we have the gems in the dimensions you desire in our collection, and 7-28 working days if a bespoke item is required.
- ln stock gems: 3 Days
- Cutting and polishing service: 7-14 Days
- Sourcing, cutting and polishing: 28 Days
Do BIRON® supply wholesale lab grown gemstones for jewellery brands and manufacturers?
Yes. BIRON® is a lab grown gemstone supplier offering wholesale lab grown gemstones in different types, shapes, sizes and quantities for jewellery brands and manufacturers.
