GEMOLOGY
Lab-grown sapphires have the same chemical and gemological composition as a natural sapphire, which is cut from the crystalline form of Aluminium Oxide, called Corundum. Sapphires are grown in a lab using either a flame fusion or hydrothermal process. In flame fusion, a flame melts aluminium oxide powder. The melted droplets form into a long teardrop shape called a ‘boule.’ The addition of other minerals to the aluminium oxide can create the coloured varieties of sapphire. On the other hand, the hydrothermal process is a solution process that closely mimics natural formation, subjecting the minerals to intense heat and pressure, whereby sapphires end up forming around a seed crystal in the solution.
Sapphires with slight variations in different elements can be found in a broad range of colours including clear, green, yellow, gold, purple, peach, or a mix of colours (Parti Sapphires). Blue sapphires owe their colour to titanium and iron. White sapphires owe theirs to a lack of iron, chromium, beryllium and titanium in their composition. Red or pink sapphires contain chromium. Red sapphire has a higher content of chromium and is widely referred to as a Ruby. Sapphire is also very durable and second only to Diamond in hardness. This means that it is the second hardest natural substance on Earth!
Diamonds are a solid form of carbon and have the highest hardness and thermal conductivity of any natural material. These stones have incredible durability and resistance against scratches and breakage from impacts. Diamond has high optical dispersion qualities, to help disperse an array of colours and to give off that sparkle. The intensity of the sparkle is assisted by the type of cut, by varying the number of facets. Diamonds come in a range of grades and colours. You can learn more about the types of cuts, grades and colours here.
