Chatham Lab-Grown White Sapphires
Chatham makes the beauty of white sapphire much more available with lab-grown white sapphires that have the pure colorless hue and brilliant clarity that you love in this versatile gem. Growing white sapphire crystals takes about six months. We start with a seed of fine Sri Lankan white sapphire. We create the perfect environment so the white crystals grow large and clean. When we cut the crystals, we cut away 80% of the rough to give you faceted white sapphires that are an icy clear white and dance with brilliance.
We cut our white sapphires in a wide variety of shapes. And because they are created in our labs, they have less of an impact on the environment than gems that are mined. We think the exceptional quality and beauty of our lab-grown white sapphires make them a better choice than mined white sapphires.
