What is a synthetic pink sapphire? Synthetic gemstones are made in laboratories and share chemical, optical and physical characteristics with their natural gemstone counterparts. A synthetic sapphire is a sapphire - one that was made in a lab rather than grown in the earth. Mankind has been creating gemstones in labs since the late 1800s. The applications for lab grown gems range from scientific to aesthetic, most notably their use in jewelry. A lab grown gemstone represents a wonderful way to own a large, beautiful and high quality gem - for a fraction of the price of a natural one.
