A note on Natural vs. Real Gemstones...
All Natural Gemstones are Real, but not all Real Gemstones are Natural — however, that does not make them any less Real! A natural gemstone is one that is naturally occurring, found in nature, and earth-mined (though that does not mean it hasn't been treated, polished, etc.). Alternatively, a gemstone that is not naturally occurring may be lab-grown.
Lab grown Gemstones are still Real Gemstones. By recreating the Earth's natural process in a controlled lab environment, gemologists are able to create semi-precious stones like Rubies, Emeralds, and Sapphires that are of higher quality, more sustainable, and more affordable than most earth-mined equivalents. Gemstones created in a lab are chemically, physically, and optically identical to those mined underground. By maintaining the same composition and atomic structure as a Natural gemstone, lab-grown gemstones still radiate Earth's energy and vibrations.
August Moon Co.'s jewelry is proudly made with both Natural and lab-grown gemstone bezels & pendants. We admire the unmatched beauty + uniqueness of Natural gemstones, while we also value the sustainability, lighter carbon footprint, and affordability of lab-grown gemstones that are still beautiful + energetic ✧✧✧
