Forlorn Chemist Creates World's Greatest Gems

Sustainably grown real sapphires are purer and brighter than mined stones

Talk to any gemologist and they’ll give it to you straight: The world has been kissed in just a few places with gemstones. These gems are costly to mine from the ground, difficult to cut just right and expensive to place in a ring and sell at your local jewelry shop.

Recently, one of our scientists at Stauer decided he’d had enough. This brilliant chemist was hoping to bring the bling to his bride, but suffered an intense case of sticker shock when he saw what the big guys were charging. We’re talking thousands upon thousands for gemstone rings with a decent carat weight.

That’s when our forlorn Dexter rolled up the sleeves of his lab coat and got to work. The result is our Precious Stone Ring Collection. These rings feature three of the “big four” precious gems: sapphire, ruby and emerald. These sustainably grown real stones are chemically and physically identical to their mined counterparts, but with less environmental impact, making them more sustainable and ethical. 

These stones are not imitations; they’re the real deal! Ask any jeweler and they’ll agree. The only difference is that we made them to the highest possible standard, so they’re brighter, purer and better quality than mined stones. It’s a win-win-win for your loved one, your wallet and the planet.
