Advancements in technology have made it possible to create synthetic gemstones that closely resemble natural gemstones in terms of appearance and chemical composition. Synthetic gemstones are made in laboratories using various processes, such as the flame fusion method or the hydrothermal process.
While synthetic gemstones may not have the rarity or value of natural gemstones, they offer an affordable and ethical alternative. Understanding the science behind synthetic gemstones helps consumers make informed choices when purchasing jewellery.
