Lab-Grown Ruby Jewelry

Lab-Grown Ruby Jewelry FAQ

Are lab-grown rubies real rubies?

Yes. Lab-grown rubies are real ruby material grown in controlled conditions. Ruby and sapphire are both varieties of corundum, and lab-grown ruby should not be confused with red glass or a mined natural ruby.

Is lab-grown ruby durable for regular wear?

Ruby has high hardness and is suitable for regularly worn jewelry when securely set. The stone can still chip under a severe impact, and prongs or bracelet links can loosen with hard use.

How do I choose a ruby bracelet or ring?

Compare the red hue, stone layout, setting, dimensions, fit, and metal finish. A bracelet also needs a suitable length and clasp, while a ring should match your measured size and daily activities.

How should lab-grown ruby jewelry be stored?

Store it dry and separately from softer jewelry because ruby can scratch other materials. Wipe the piece after wear and avoid chlorine, harsh cleaners, and abrasive surfaces.
