Lab Gems
It has taken Mother Nature millions of years to produce her
gemstones; we are able to do the same in a few weeks and we bet you can't tell
the difference just by looking! A world-leading manufacturer of laboratory gems,
Joint Venture Tairus (an alliance between Pinky Trading Co. Ltd. in Bangkok and
the Russian Academy of Science's Siberian Branch) has finally perfected
lab-grown gems. Our creations, which we classify as "luxury synthetics" in order
to distinguish them from cheap simulated stones and low-grade synthetics,
emulate natural gems in all their characteristics, gemological and otherwise,
except for the price.
After years of research and several scientific breakthroughs,
Tairus' scientists, who began to experiment with the growth of crystals in a
secret Soviet government program in the 1960's, have managed to purify their
hydrothermally grown rubies, sapphires, emeralds, and aquamarines of all the
common blemishes present in lab-grown stones. This comes at incredible savings
to you. Our jewels, which are exact replicas of the genuine counterparts, can
save you as much as one thousand percent (yes, 1,000!) over their natural
equivalents.
Aside from the price, our creations carry another invaluable
advantage over natural stones. While it may test the skills of the best experts
to find matching stones in natural gems, our created stones can be custom-made
to be the precise matche (think of mismatched earrings or an incomplete set of
gems for necklaces). They can also be used as replacements for lost or damaged
stones.
As the only world-producer of top-quality hydrothermally grown
rubies, sapphires, and emeralds, we offer a wide range of colors and shades to
please all tastes. Our emeralds come in shades ranging from the charming
Colombian green to the vivid bluish Zambian.Our rubies come from the famous
Burmese pigeon-red to the intense Thai scarlet and our sapphires come in several
shades of blue, pink, yellow, orange and white. We keep an extensive inventory
of our created gems and can custom-cut a stone in a single day on request.
With all these advantages then, why do many jewelers and
jewelry buyers still remain skeptical about laboratory gems? For one thing,
"natural" carries superior connotations today (often unjustly) to anything
"manufactured." For another, we have all seen the cheap synthetic and imitation
stones that unscrupulous con men have been palming off on the unwary since the
time of the ancient Egyptians. The major difference between a "created" and
"natural" stone is that created stones are man-made and natural stones are
man-found.
As for the bad name that inferior synthetic stones have given
to laboratory gems, we are proud to have succeeded where others, from medieval
alchemists to some modern-day scientists, have failed - in finding at last "the
philosopher's stone" in making artificial gems gemological equal to natural
minerals. These are all just words on the computer screen. Let our creations
speak for themselves.
