Strand of semi-precious stone beads SYNTHETIC TURQUOISE in a heart shape.

Shopping for precious and semi-precious stones is no longer a simple task. Buyers today are faced with a multitude of materials that did not exist in the past. By chance, people in ancient times discovered that treating gemstones could enhance their appearance and properties. Nowadays, methods for manipulating and imitating gemstones have become increasingly sophisticated. Crystals are being cultivated that replicate the chemistry, structure, and properties of those found in nature.

Natural origin is no longer something that can be taken for granted. Laboratories and factories around the world are producing an astonishing variety of materials that are sold within the gemstone market. These synthetic and treated materials offer an immense range of products and prices.

Jewelry buyers now have far more options—but they also need some basic knowledge to make the right choice. The term synthetic refers to man-made products whose chemical and physical properties match those of the natural stones they imitate.

As for the metaphysical properties of synthetic materials, that remains an open discussion. But we know that everything is energy—each thing carries its own vibration and influence. No one needs to tell us; we can feel this effect ourselves. After all, isn’t color alone enough to change someone’s aura or mood?

Every stone that attracts you is your stone—the right one for your creation, the perfect expression of your artistic inspiration.
