Lab Created Ruby / Synthetic Ruby / Synthetic Corundum
Premium Lab Created Ruby
Lab Created Ruby, also known as Synthetic Ruby or Synthetic Corundum, is a premium laboratory-grown gemstone that offers the same chemical composition and exceptional durability as natural ruby. Manufactured using advanced crystal-growing techniques, Lab Created Ruby displays a rich pink to deep blood-red color, excellent brilliance, and remarkable clarity.
Natural rubies are among the world’s most valuable gemstones. For centuries, they have symbolized passion, courage, wisdom, and prosperity. Today, Synthetic Ruby provides the same beautiful appearance and outstanding performance at a much more affordable price. As a result, it is widely used in fine jewelry, luxury jewelry, industrial applications, and precision instruments.
History and Significance of Ruby
Ruby has been admired for thousands of years. In ancient times, many civilizations valued rubies more highly than diamonds. According to Chinese legend, Emperor Kublai Khan was willing to exchange an entire city for a magnificent ruby.
Throughout history, ruby has symbolized courage, strength, confidence, and success. Many cultures believed the gemstone enhanced concentration, sharpened awareness, and inspired fearless decision-making. Today, ruby continues to be one of the world’s most treasured gemstones.
How Is Lab Created Ruby Manufactured?
Lab Created Ruby is manufactured using two well-known crystal growth methods.
Flame Fusion Method
The Flame Fusion Process was the first successful commercial technique used to produce synthetic corundum. In this process, manufacturers melt high-purity aluminum oxide with chromium at extremely high temperatures. The crystal forms quickly, producing gemstones with excellent color and clarity.
Because the crystal grows rapidly, Flame Fusion rubies may contain tiny gas bubbles and fewer natural-looking inclusions.
Flux Growth Method
The Flux Growth Process produces high-quality Synthetic Ruby crystals over several months. During this process, aluminum oxide and chromium dissolve inside a molten chemical solution known as flux.
The crystal grows slowly under carefully controlled conditions. Consequently, Flux-grown rubies develop natural-looking growth patterns and characteristics that closely resemble natural ruby.
