These octagon faceted lab-created blue sapphires are composed of man-made corundum sharing the same chemical composition and physical durability as natural sapphire. Each stone displays excellent clarity with vivid, even coloration ranging from medium-dark to dark blue — the result of trace elements of iron and titanium within the corundum crystal structure. Pure corundum is naturally colorless and quite rare; it is these trace elements that produce the rich spectrum of colors for which corundum gemstones are prized.
Sapphire is one of the most popular colored stones in the United States and is renowned for its extraordinary durability, making it well-suited for everyday wear in finished jewelry. These lab-created stones are the birthstone for September and offer consistent color and clarity at a reliable value for setting work and resale applications.
