synthetic gems
Manufactured precious stones
Synthetic gems are gemstones created in laboratories rather than formed naturally in the earth.
They have the same chemical composition and crystal structure as their natural counterparts—synthetic rubies are real rubies, just human-made.
Distinguished from imitation gems, which merely resemble precious stones without matching their properties.
The ring featured a flawless synthetic diamond at a fraction of the cost.
