Lab-Created Round Cut Emerald 7.0 mm 1.0 ct

This is a Lab Grown Generic Emerald Gemstone and for what it is worth it is a really beautifully made stone. It had a lovely coloring and shine. I have designed jewelry for years and never was into using faceted stones. I decided to expand my knowledge and try it out. For my first time working on a faceted stone design, I am very happy to use this stone for my project! Truly came out gorgeous and worked out perfectly!

This is a very small, but high quality and gorgeous lab grown emerald. It's a brilliant green color. Unlike things like colored glass or colored cubic zirconia that can look artificially flawless, this lab grown emerald does show minor inclusions (just like mined emeralds, it should, so seeing that under my jeweler's loupe helps verify this is most likely actual emerald). I've just started collecting loose stones of different types as I'm getting into jewelry making. And this is such a lovely early one I'm looking forward to working with.

This .5 carat size synthetic emerald is very beautiful. It's a little bit small at just about 5.5mm. It comes with AGL certification from Antwerp Gemological Laboratory. I tested this on my gem tester so to make sure it is an emerald and it tested fine. I think this is a little small to mount in jewelry as a solitaire unless I get another one and make them stud earrings. It's quite sparkly and a lovely green color that is very eye catching.

**“Gremlins saw shiny. Gremlins wanted shiny. Gremlins thought, ‘Ah yes, perfect gemstone seed — we plant it, water it, and grow a whole tree of sparkly rocks.’ But NO. This object refuses to sprout even ONE gemstone. We buried it in dirt. We sang to it. We threatened it. We even put it under a heat lamp next to the lizard. Nothing. Zero growth. Just sitting there being smooth and smug. It is very shiny, though. Extremely shiny. Distract‑the‑gremlins‑for‑hours shiny. We rolled it across the table and fought over it like feral raccoons. But as a gemstone seed? A complete failure. As a shiny object to hoard and hiss at anyone who tries to take it? 10/10. Gremlins remain disappointed but also deeply attached.”**

The synthetic emerald gemstone comes packaged beautifully, ready for gift giving. It also comes with a very nice gemstone report. The pictures I attached truly don't do the gemstone justice. It's very small (fits on the tip of my finger) and shines radiantly. The gemstone is a dark, clear green and will work wonderfully for many projects. I intend to place it in a necklace.

I got this to use as a stone for a necklace I'm working on. I've been slowly collecting loose stones and wanted an emerald so I ordered the half carat size to start. It's small. Like genuinely small, fits on the tip of a finger. The green is dark and clear and it catches light pretty well, not fake looking the way colored glass tends to look. Under a loupe there are minor inclusions which honestly made me feel better about it. It came with an AGL certificate and the packaging was nicer than I was expecting. For the price I'm a little on the fence. It's a good stone but the half carat size makes $34 feel like a stretch. I'd probably go up to the one carat next time.

This synthetic emerald is very pretty. It's super shiny and a lovely shape, but be aware that the half carat version is quite tiny. For that reason, I think the half carat is a little on the price-y side. My advice, spend the extra money for the full carat version.

This Synthetic Emerald Gemstone features a lab-grown, round brilliant cut design that is visually striking. The emerald green color is incredibly pretty in person and catches the light beautifully from various different angles. The clarity of the stone is impressive, giving it a high-quality appearance that stands out immediately. However, it is important to note that the actual physical size of the loose stone is smaller than one might initially expect before ordering. Because of these diminutive dimensions, it might not work perfectly as a large, primary centerpiece for certain types of jewelry settings. Despite the smaller scale, the vibrant color and brilliant cut still make it a highly attractive and worthwhile piece. It would serve perfectly as a delicate accent stone or for a more understated, intricate project. Ultimately, it is a stunning little gemstone that offers great visual appeal, as long as you are prepared for its compact size.

The vivid green comes through beautifully, and the way it looks when light hits it is pretty appealing. Since it's a round cut, the shape is clean and easy to match with various pieces like rings and pendants. At about 1ct, it's not too big and not too small—just the right size to work with while imagining the finished jewelry. It has good transparency and that deep, rich green really comes through, so even set in a simple mounting the stone itself would stand out nicely. As a synthetic stone, you can handle it without worrying too much about quality variations, which makes it easy to work with. If you're looking for materials for original accessories and want something different from natural stones, this seems like an interesting option. A certificate is included, so you can verify the stone's details, which I thought was a nice touch. They also offer different sizes, so it's easy to choose one based on your purpose or design. If you want to make green gemstone jewelry but don't want to spend as much as you would on a natural emerald, this seems like a loose stone worth considering.

I previously tried a lab-grown ruby from the same manufacturer, and this one was finished just as nicely. The green is vivid with a lovely transparency, and the round cut sparkles beautifully when light hits it. Even though it's a synthetic emerald, it doesn't feel cheap at all and seems like it would look great in jewelry. The stone I received didn't have any noticeable scratches or chips, and the cut was fairly uniform. It's not the kind of thing where you enjoy the individual character of a natural stone, but the consistent quality is an advantage unique to synthetic stones. I think the quality is good enough not just for making jewelry, practicing stone setting, or using as a material for handmade pieces, but also for collecting. It's not the kind of product you'd buy for the rarity or investment value of a natural emerald, but it felt like a great choice for someone who wants a beautiful loose stone at a reasonable price. Compared to the lab-grown ruby from the same lineup, I didn't notice any major difference in quality, so getting them in different colors to make a matching set of jewelry sounds like fun.
