by | Sep 1, 2019 | About Lab Grown

Did you know the world’s most famous blue gem grows in other colors too? Chatham’s world famous laboratories allow us to offer our customers five of them: champagne, pink, yellow, white (colorless) and padparadscha, our peachy-pink sapphire.

September babies are fortunate to have such a colorful array of options when it comes to their birthstone.

Initial Pendants

If you’re shopping for yourself or a September-born loved one, consider a pendant from our Initials Collection. These are no ordinary initial designs; they are stylized for individuality and self-expression. Simply select your letter and set it with one of the sapphire colors that speaks to you the most. Set in sterling silver, this collection starts at $425 retail.

Sapphire options include: lab-grown blue sapphire, lab-grown champagne sapphire, lab-grown pink sapphire, lab-grown padparadscha, lab-grown yellow sapphire, and lab-grown tsavorite-colored sapphire (only offered through the Initials Collection).

Lab-grown Padparadscha Pendant and Ring Set

Padparadscha is the only other corundum that has it’s own name, aside from ruby. All others are a variety of sapphire, distinguished by it’s color. Chatham lab-grown padparadscha displays a striking peachy pink color, vividly saturated and eye clean. This 14K white gold pendant and earring set features a lab-grown padparadscha in one of our exclusive cuts, the century. Simple yet elegant!

Lab-grown Pink Sapphire Pendant

Chatham grows pink sapphire in 3 shades: light, medium and dark. For our line of fine jewelry, we hand pick the medium tone which exhibits an intense bubble gum pink. This 9×7 oval lab-grown pink sapphire pendant is flanked gracefully by two rows of diamonds. Its small scale is perfect for layering with other pendants or can be worn alone.

Lab-Grown Champagne Sapphire Earrings

Our latest gemstone growth is Chatham champagne sapphire, reminiscent of the pastel-colored morganite but with greater color intensity and the hardness of corundum. These lab-grown champagne sapphire earrings have just enough panache to give them a second look. Cut with a checkerboard pattern, these elongated oval earrings can be worn during the day and transition into the night effortlessly.

Lab-grown Blue Sapphire Pendant and Ring Set

We could not complete this list without mentioning our most coveted sapphire. Chatham’s lab-grown blue sapphire exhibits the magnificent sought after Ceylon color. Our bestselling stone to date, lab-grown blue sapphire enhances a design with it’s noteworthy beauty. This flame cut pendant and ring set is the epitome of refined brilliance.
