The Ruby

Instantly recognizable across cultures for its deep, rich red hue, the ruby has long been revered as one of the most precious gemstones in the world. However, sourcing a high-quality ruby can be a challenge.
Natural, mined rubies often contain inclusions, lack clarity, and rarely achieve the ideal deep red shade with purple undertones. Additionally, the market is filled with synthetic glass imitations or heat-treated stones, making it difficult to guarantee authenticity and value.
For those who seek an ethical, sustainable alternative without compromising on brilliance, lab-grown rubies offer an innovative solution. Yet, navigating the lab-grown ruby market can be just as complex, with variations in grade, quality, and pricing.
If you’re searching for high-quality lab-grown ruby stones, whether for an engagement ring, an anniversary piece, or a statement accessory, BIRON® lab-grown rubies provide an elegant, sustainable option that aligns with your values and aesthetic.

More About Lab Created Ruby
What is a ruby?
A ruby is made up of a type of mineral known as corundum and is considered the most valuable for its deep red hue. The colouration is caused by the trace element chromium, making it second in popularity in coloured gemstones. Rubies are available in all shapes and sizes, but round and oval rubies are most prevalent for their particular vibrance and use in rings and earrings. Oval rubies reduce waste and expose its deep red shade.
A characteristic of a good ruby lies in its size, colour and clarity.
Rubies, meaning the king of gems in Sanskrit, are the birthstone for summertime in the month of July. They are also associated with love and fifteenth and fortieth anniversaries. This gemstone is typically mined in Myanmar, Madagascar, Thailand, and Kenya. The world’s greatest gemstones were found in Mogok, Myanmar’s valley of rubies.
This gemstone is rare and considered to be one of the most popular gemstones for its lustre and hard durability. It can be polished and shaped in such a way that brings out hue, tone, and saturation for the best colour. Pigeon blood colour is the most sought after colour in rubies.

Synthetic rubies are grown under a controlled environment in a laboratory that mimics the same chemical composition as that of their natural counterpart. Artificial rubies are real and unmined, so are eco-friendly and humane. They can have little to no inclusions and often present as completely clean to the naked eye. They can also differ in colour and saturation.
Natural rubies are found in the earth and mined. They are formed without control over conditions and contain different impurities that express different final results in colour, clarity and shape.
What are the benefits of created rubies?
Synthetic rubies created in a lab can capture the transparency and brilliance of the gemstone to its fullest. The greater the transparency and brilliance, the greater the value of the gemstone. The hard durability that is known of a ruby is maintained through lab-grown processes that ensure ideal carat weight can be obtained alongside the colour, clarity and cut.
Lab-created rubies can achieve that valuable colour between vibrant red to purplish-red and can be faceted with mixed cuts to draw out the light. Rubies over one carat are very rare and can be made on-demand in a laboratory without the eco-footprint and humanely.
With the same chemical composition and other properties of a mined ruby, lab-grown rubies are real gemstones that can be made in larger quantities with a lower price tag per carat.
Wholesalers and suppliers can meet demand, as they can be made in bulk with an unlimited capacity to supply to retailers, designers, and jewellery brands.

FAQs on Lab Made Ruby
Are lab-grown rubies real?
Yes. Synthetic rubies that are grown in a laboratory are made up of the same chemical composition as their natural counterpart, which includes a natural trace element called chromium that gives the gemstone its deep red shade. Lab-grown rubies are real and unmined and have the same optics and physical form as a natural ruby.
Are lab-created rubies valuable?
Yes. Lab-grown rubies are valued for their hard durability and tone with a strong depth of colour. Even saturation and distribution of colour can be more often achieved and synthetic rubies can be made in larger carat weights that are rare to find through mining.
Rubies made through man-made processes can be 100% consistent with naturally-mined rubies. These lab-made gemstones hold a high-quality finish at a fraction of the price and have strong roots in eco-sustainability and humanitarianism.
Are lab rubies as durable as mined rubies?
Yes. Rubies grown in a laboratory hold the same durability as that of their natural counterpart. Their chemical composition and other properties are identical.
Do manufactured rubies contain inclusions?
Synthetic rubies are grown in a laboratory that provides a controlled environment to create pure stones with little to no inclusions. Inclusions can still occur, just fewer than natural rubies.
What are the differences between lab, natural and simulated rubies
Lab-grown rubies are real gemstones that hold identical chemical composition, optical and physical characteristics as natural rubies. They are real but unmined, can have little to no inclusions and are shaped from lab-grown uncut stones.
Natural rubies grow in the earth naturally and are mined. They are found in the rough and have inclusions or visual variations due to the gemstone’s unpredictable growth process and mineral composition. Natural rubies are often treated for cracks that are habitually filled with molten glass before being put on the market. They are also often heat-treated for colour enhancement. Unique, untreated natural rare gemstones are available for sale on our platform.
Simulated rubies, also known as imitation, are not the same as lab-grown rubies, due to their difference in composition. They are physically and chemically different, constituted of man-made material, e.g. nano glass, but look like natural or lab-grown rubies. Imitation gemstones are significantly cheaper than synthetic or natural gemstones.
