Man-made gemstones include synthetic gemstones, lab-created gemstones, imitation gemstones and gemstone simulants. Some have the same chemical composition and crystal structure as their natural counterpart, while others only imitate the appearance.

GemTrove helps clients understand man-made gemstones with gemmologist-led guidance from a Graduate Gemologist – GIA. Also known as a GIA gemmologist or gemmologist, this guidance helps compare chemical composition, RI, SG, crystal structure, treatments, natural equivalents and jewellery suitability.
