Lab-Grown Gemstone Supplier & Cutting Services
Gemstone expertise since 1984
From our own hydrothermal emerald production to in-house cutting and polishing, BIRON® supplies lab-grown gemstones and rough to jewellery brands, retailers and cutting workshops in the UK, Australia and worldwide.
Lab-Grown Gemstones
The expert team behind BIRON® has specialised in gems of the finest quality and most refined craftsmanship since 1984. We source and supply exceptional gems of all shapes, sizes, cuts, and quantities to jewellery brands, retailers and cutting workshops around the world. From 2015 onwards, we have been growing our own emeralds using hydrothermal technology and have mastered the formula for creating what is known as Colombian green emeralds – the variety of emerald with the most sought–after colour.
We are now a leading lab-grown emerald manufacturer, producing emeralds with the same intense green colour as Colombian emeralds, but with steady supply and diverse qualities. We apply the same standards of excellence to lab-grown sapphires, rubies, padparadscha sapphires and alexandrites that we meticulously source for our clients.
BIRON® is also an authorised distributor of Kyocera opals and a representative for synthetic corundum and spinel by Djeva in Switzerland.

The Most Impressive Colour
After many years of intensive research on many aspects of hydrothermal technology,
BIRON® emerald resulted in a colour that was virtually indistinguishable from the Columbian Muzo emerald,
the most desirable colour in the marketplace.
