Ring Size Guide

Lab-grown pink sapphire handmade silver ring.

The Flamingo ring is a one of a kind ring. This ring was handmade in England using the ancient art of sandcasting, which has infused it with a slightly gnarled texture to the surface of the ring and ring band. These unique imperfections make it an unrepeatable treasure. After it was sand cast, each lab-grown sapphire was set by hand.

Materials: x5 round 4mm (0.23ct) lab-grown pink sapphires, sterling silver 7.1g. Total weight of the ring is 7.2g.

Ring Size: This ring is a size UK M (US 6) and can be resized to a size UK M 1/2 (US 6 1/4) or UK N (US 6 1/2). Please confirm which size you would like in the box at checkout.

Hallmarking: Please allow up to 2 weeks for shipping after purchasing to give me enough time to post the ring to the assay office for hallmarking.

Lab-Grown Sapphire FAQs

What are lab-grown sapphires?

Lab-grown sapphires and natural sapphires have the same chemical composition and are a variation of the mineral corundum. The difference between natural and lab-grown sapphires lie in how they are made; natural sapphires form in the earth whereas lab-grown sapphires are created in a lab.

Are lab-grown sapphires the same as synthetic sapphires?

Yes - in the gemstone trade, lab-grown sapphires are also known as synthetic sapphires. The term synthetic sapphire should not be confused with imitation sapphires, which are made from other materials, such as glass, to imitate the appearance of a sapphire. Lab-grown / synthetic sapphires are made from the same material as natural sapphires.

Why are lab-grown sapphires more affordable than natural sapphires?

Lab-grown sapphires cost much less than natural sapphires because there are no associated mining costs and they are more readily available than natural sapphires. High quality natural sapphires are rare, which makes them expensive, whereas lab-grown sapphires are grown on demand. Their abundance is what makes them more affordable, rather than a difference in appearance or quality.

Are lab-grown sapphires less valuable than natural sapphires?

Often, value in jewellery stems from rarity, so lab-grown sapphire jewellery is unlikely to ever be perceived as valuable as natural sapphire jewellery. However, lab-grown sapphires offer all of the same qualities as natural sapphires, such as colour and durability, without the hefty price tag of their natural counterparts.

Are there visible differences between natural and lab-grown sapphires?

Lab-grown sapphires will look more perfect than natural sapphires because they are grown in controlled conditions. This means that lab-grown sapphires are often more saturated in colour and have no inclusions.

What are the benefits of lab-grown sapphire jewellery?

Lab-grown sapphires are more affordable than natural sapphires. For the same price, customers can purchase a larger gemstone with better colour saturation and no inclusions. High quality natural sapphires with saturated colour are rare. Lab-grown sapphires offer the chance to make more sapphire jewellery for the world to enjoy.
