"we all know emeralds are composed of chromium" - Nope, i did not know that. But now i do, so thank you
Actually it's beryl.

Neither
Chromium is the element causing the green color in the beryl, vanadium in emerald is of very specific origin and is uncommon.
Synthetic or not those gems are still beautiful. As long as it isn’t glass I don’t mind
id be happy with a blow pop ring

Lab grown are indeed genuine. They're chemically identical. A lab emerald is real, it's just grown by humans instead of having a person slave over digging it out and waiting centuries for it to form... I'd rather get a VS, VVS, or flawless lab grown gemstone that's lab grown instead of an inferior color and clarity just because it's "natural". Such a gemstone in natural stone is available but it's going to be only for the extremely wealthy. Sellers should make it clear that stones are lab grown of course.
yes very light on your spending thats why she is cautious to convey the message now lab emerald getting popular so they are losing business as long as you know its lab then its fine
I have dealt with your company before and have seen you attending the gem shows. You guys are the real deal
This seem serious at first glance, but it isn't. The plain fact is that, for a scientist and a gemmologist, a lab-created emerald is also a REAL emerald, just not a NATURAL one. In brief, a synthetic or lab-created emerald will have the same chemical, physical, and optical properties as a natural emerald. This charming lady is (willingly or not) misleading viewers, as synthetic emeralds are NOT to be confused with fakes, as she seems to imply here. The only true is that even if they are some of the most expensive synthetic gems, a lab-created emerald isn’t nearly as valuable as a natural emerald. Keep it in mind and check serious vids or rely on serious info from impartial and unbiased people, not from traders or merchants.
MOST jewelers seem to ignore the existence of science. It makes them look stupid, to be honest. They call the man made ones fake because they're scared of competition.
The difference between the natural and the synthetic is the "time". Otherwise you can mimic nature. Basically it boils down to emotionality. Holding one stone that was formed millions of years ago and the other few years or decades ago.
Still fake
@@greasyfishtacos No. Read again till you understand. Assuming you're able to.
@@tobyix1569 still fake. Not the real thing fake
Last time I checked, synthetic still meant genuine. Natural means the gem was formed in the earth, synthetic simply means it was made using the exact same elements that are used to form the same natural gem in the earth. Sometimes, you can even take a tiny fracture of a large natural stone, ang grow it in a lab to your desired size. Jewelers try to argue that synthetic stones don't have any resale value - but I never plan on selling such a special piece of jewelry anyways lol.
Everything that isn't a diamond (a natural one that costs a ridiculous amount of money) is basically a threat to jewelers. If the gemstone isn't a natural diamond, ruby or sapphire (which are still very beautiful stones); the jeweler will try to tell you that it is just a waste of money if you try to put any other stone except those 3 in an engagement ring. Even though emeralds weigh 7.5-8 on the hardness scale, which is only one step below that of a ruby or sapphire.
In layman's terms, jewelers simply think that non-jewelers are stupid. Despite all the information available to us online.
@@cuteartsyguy I disagree, i am totally NOT a Jeweler or gemologist, just a regular customer/ joe and i totally love, prefer and will pay premiums for natural (earth mined) gems. Synthetic man made is just that synthetic and man made... When i go skiing in the winter I prefer (and can feel) the difference between man made snow ( which is technically snow) vs natural snow...this is not rocket science...There are many more examples of man made vs natural phenomenon
I wouldn't want to pay hefty $$$ for a lab grown rock, it literarily takes some raw materials, the right temperature and pressure to create it in a short span, unlike how the natural stones are formed
Diamonds, rubys, sapphire, an emerald, are the main stones. But not for me. The typical blue sapphire does nothing for me. An the other 3 are just as boring. There are so many other beautiful gemstones out there... Not just the boring 4.
@@silverghost4206 you are correct... the "typical" are boring, but the totally untreated natural rare "atypical" high quality ruby,emerald,sapphire are not boring but fascinating...
@@cuteartsyguy very well put. I'm more excited about the layers of an agate I find at the beach than a quality lab gem. And for that exact reason. The story behind it.
i think it's about time to accept that lab made stones are just like natural ones, but perfected, they have the same composition so they are real for all intents and purposes, the only difference between a lab emerald and a natural emerald is their origin, nothing else.
It should be stated where the stone comes from, i think we can all agree on that, but what you should't do is say a created stone with the same composition is a fake just to convince people to buy natural ones because you sell those more expensive, fake is a plastic stone or a colored crystal, not a perfect replica of the natural thing, i'm a jewelry student and when you see how things inside the industry work, you learn to buy your jewelry from third parties or independent artisans, never in a jewelry store/brand, never trust their prices and if you don't support the mining industry or want an specific stone but you're not willing to go with the stupid high prices, just buy a lab created one, only a professional with special equipment will be able to tell if it comes from a lab or from the earth
Nobody is arguing that synthetic gemstones aren't pretty, or that they aren't correct composition wise - I can build a kit lamborghini and put a powerful engine into it, I can buy a Rolex repro from the flea market and i can buy an off brand Coke soda and it'll probably taste pretty close to the real thing, But when it comes to AUTHENTICITY there's something to be said for having the peace of mind that what you have is not a knock off, however well it may be done.
@@GOLD_FEVER thing is, it's not a good knockoff, following your comparison, it would be more similar to somebody copying 1 to 1 a Rolex watch, everything, from the materials, to the clock machinery and the smallest details, yes, you may know it's not produced by the Rolex company itself but can you really say it's not a Rolex if it's a perfect replica of the thing? if nobody told you where It came from you would think it's a Rolex, just the fact that some información in your mind makes It an authentic Rolex or a fake is a completely unreliable method of determining the 'authenticity' of something, It all comes down to what you personally consider is the real thing, if you wouldn't accept that exact copy of the Rolex, despide being exactly the same you won't accept an exact copy of a gemstome, even if it's exactly the same and even if the only thing that changes is the manufacturer, not the thing itself, maybe a bit like the Theseus ship dilemma, there's many different points of view but, since It is sort of a philosopy topic there's really no 'correct' answer to It
@@leroidethunes3913 You're trying to change the definition of "authentic" good luck with that. You can believe WHATEVER you want about ANY object. But if it is not AUTHENTIC and made by the ACTUAL OG maker it is A FAKE. A COPY. A good copy is STILL A COPY. OBJECTIVELY. a copy IS A COPY. and trying to blur the lines like " oh it's every bit as good or it's identical in every way but manufacturer" is really beside the point. The point i am making is the fact will always remain, wether we know it or not that A COPY will always be a copy and the real thing will always be the REAL THING. Now how YOU Feel about it, is a totally different matter. As you mentioned, some are totally fine with a copy, in fact it is logical to not want to waste your money if there is something that literally does the same job if not better for less money, but that's not the point i am arguing. Another thing, that "information in your mind" is all we have to work with sometimes. Our brains are fickle and funny but they dictate our reality.
@@leroidethunes3913 Also i appreciate the Ship of Theseus reference. philosophy dilemmas make me happy.
@@GOLD_FEVER I see, yo don't have to get so worked up, i did imply It was my opinión and did say there's no right or wrong answers, i was not attacking you or denying your point, we have different views on the matter, i consider something that is visually, phisically and composition-wise the same to another thing as they share all their traits and thus, they're the same or they belong to the same group, if you are not of this opinion, that is completely fine, i believe Theseus rebuilt ship with the exact same type of wood and the exact same desingn is Theseus ship as far as we can tell, although you may think otherwise, we can have different opinions without getting angry with each other
Gemstones in general are a waste of money. You take a ring or necklace and try and sell it most of the time you only get the value of the gold. The fact that you can buy lab created gemstones now for a fraction of the cost and your professional jeweler telling me you literally cannot tell the difference than me as a consumer has absolutely no reason to buy the wayyyy more expensive one
IMO the synthetic look better. Deeper green and more clear.
So does green glass.
I take issue on the wording in this video. What the GIA calls "synthetic" is just what they decided to label lab-grown gems. These gems aren't fake, despite what the label implies or what salesman and marketing teams may tell you. The only functional difference is how they were made, because a flawless gem that formed naturally and a flawless gem that was lab made would be virtually identical in both chemical composition, hardness, and structure. The only reason more lab-made gems tend to be flawless is because they're formed under more controlled conditions.
An emerald is an emerald, regardless of how it was formed. Anyone who tells you differently is probably caught up in the apparatus ran by a handful of international mining corps that buy up most of the mining rights for natural gems and desperately want to maintain the market value of the thing they happen to hold an oligopoly over.
A "fake" gem is actually something like colored glass or even a less valuable gem that is made to look like the gem it's being sold as. THAT is fake.
Yeah its called a simulate! Vvs!
@@tylerfortin4937 No. A simulant is made with glass or quartz, a "synthetic" is the real gemstone but made in a lab.
@@tylerfortin4937 Wrong.
Where I am from we hold value in natural gemstones. I consider a lab created emerald as an imitation, even though the chemical formula is the same.
Would you rather wear an emerald that the Earth created, millions of years in making or would you wear a synthetic stone that is made somewhere in a lab in a pressurized chamber.
Not every golden material is gold
Tell us you sell synthetic gemstones without telling us you sell synthetic stones. These stones are not created naturally by "Mother-earth", hot magma (lava) coming into contact with sedimentary rocks such as limestone or shale. Natural emeralds are quite rare because of the rather limited geologic environment in which they can occur. We are investing in the "rarity" of processes of natural wonders of our earth and not in a man-made "production" process of a laboratory.
Synthetic emerald doesn't mean it's not real, their compositions are chemically identical to that of a natural, mined stone, it's just that they were lab created, so technically, synthetic gems are real ,just not natural
but they do not carry any energy. which is pointless
synthetic gems are a good, cheaper alternative and just as pretty as well as not coming with the devastating effects mining can have on the environment
is it just me or she sometimes look like a girl version of nick jonas?
Jessica goldmier never thought about it 😕
True true very true.
Are you telling me this is not Nick? (he's just wearing a wig)
Oh yaah she resembles female nick jonas
Looks like she could be his sister
Thank you for this video really, it was beneficial and informative.
I think synthetic is being made here to imply "fake" when in reality it just means synthesized. I think the distinction should be made between fake, lab-grown genuine, and natural genuine. But alas profits and gatekeeping the market comes first am I right?! 😏 😉 👉🏻
Its fake in the sence it is not a geological crystal formed by the earth's lava, limestone and shale- forming in hydrothermal veins or in magmatic pegmatites. With beryllium, aluminum, silicon, and oxygen at the right temperature and pressure, this mineral can form, a process taking (arguably) up to 100,000 years. When you buy a natural emerald, you are buying the result of mother earth's work as opposed to some people in lab coats.
Very informative..thanks for posting 👍
I feel like the coloring on that first stone disqualifies it from being an emerald, it should be just beryl.
Good that the synthetic ones are cheaper, because they are also prettier.
Chics that utilize plastic surgery and synthetic enhancements are also prettier, but worthless in most other categories
I want to see a video on how to spot the difference between a gem and say green glass. You can make something just like that big light green stone, imperfections and all with glass.
Green glass is much weaker we found a jem stone digging on a job site and at first i look like a big pice of galss so we decided to seee if we nac brake it by throwing it from a height its stronger than glass but we currently needed some to look into the rock because its approximately 13 pounds
@@justinramdass9898 it's easier to look up the hardness rating for things and rub a corner of it against something slightly softer. This works because harder things will generally scratch softer things without being marked themselves.
This is also why it's really difficult to cut diamonds, and why low grade diamonds tend to be used as diamond dust to cut and facet other gems, or even to cut really hard metals in an industrial setting.
The best way to tell if a gem is real or just a piece of glass is to look at it with a magnifying glass or a microscope, if it has small air bubbles then it’s defenetly made out of glass.
@@szikszaylevi4909 not all glass has air bubbles. its pretty easy to find a piece of glass without air bubbles.
Thank you and great info 💕
Thank you for this video, very useful
Your becklace is stunning by its elegance!
I find it strange that people value the natural flawed stone more than the better looking lab made stone, to the point that one is labeled as "genuine" and the other as "fake".
It's a marketing thing, mostly. A small group of big international corporations own the mining rights to a relatively limited number of gem mines around the world. They see "Synthetic" gems as a threat to their market, so they do things like pushing a certain rating company to label lab-made gems as synthetic. Which is just a disingenuous way of trying to preserve the value of their market.
I mean, even before lab made diamonds. The value of diamonds should have went down. But it's a bit of an open secret now that a few corporations basically buy and vault metric fucktons of regular diamonds to keep diamond values from crashing. This is why clear or "white" diamonds are virtually impossible to sell for the price you get them at a store for, as the stores themselves have no interest in buying regular diamonds back. Their value is artificially inflated and they know it.
Great video. Educational..
Correct analysis.
Nice video.
Yes.
Synthetic gem look very very beautiful .
Thanks for the perfect information

Love your choker necklace!
there are real emeralds that are glass filled to correct imperfections, heat treated and so on and they are real gemstones.
There are many types of synthetic emeralds...some look exactly like mined Colombian emeralds...but usually only the highest quality mined emeralds. (And good synthetic emeralds are expensive!) Sure, there are imitation emeralds, like cheap, obvious, green cubic-zirconium stones, beryl (not quite emerald), various kinds of simulated green stones, or Green Onyx-Claiming-to-be-Emerald, etc. But high quality synthetic emeralds are nothing like the aforementioned inferior substitutes. They are "genuine" gemstones, for sure. Just not "mined". For those of us who would not mortgage our homes in order to own a gemstone, lab-grown emeralds are a true joy. I own many pieces with synthetic emeralds and they are breathtaking. Even through a jeweler's loupe, one would have to be a highly trained expert to determine if they're high quality synthesized stones or $20,000 per carat mined emeralds, (of which I am certain I will never own.) I love and enjoy my synthetics for their own beauty. They even have that incredible inner-glow that makes emeralds seem magical.
That being said, I would love to own a ring with an exquisite, mined Colombian emerald someday! They are one of the most beautiful creations of earth.
I love JR Emeralds. They rock emeralds
Great post. Slow down. Keep posting.
It's not FAKE. A synthetic Emerald is physically identical to an earth-mined emerald, like they are literally the same down to the atoms the only difference is how they are acquired.
Calling a synthetic emerald fake is like calling the light from a torch "fake light", it doesn't make any sense.
This same thing is happening with all collectibles from autographs to coins to diamonds. Everything can be made cheaper than the real thing and sometimes the fake is actually nicer than the real thing.
heyuha absolutely! We get it and yes sometimes the fake items do look just as good or better. Some people don’t mind it but others may want what nature has taken millions of years to create! For almost 500 years Colombia has produced emeralds for the noble jewels of kings, queens, emperors and empresses, not forgetting that for hundreds (if not thousands) of years before the arrival of the Spanish, the mines of the Muzo region were worked by the indigenous civilisations who revered the emerald in much the same way we do today. Of course, I am biased but as a consumer, I’d much rather own a piece of this rich history than buy a characterless synthetic stone. If you sell your stone to a pawn shop they will give you nothing. If you sell it on your own through a website or social media, you will definitely get most or more then your money back depending on your patience. Either way, we wholesale our stones and I have seen people sell synthetic emeralds for much more over my genuine emeralds. At the end of the day, it’s what makes you HAPPY ❤️
Can you find emeralds in Colombia with a gold pan or a sifter? Or do they have to be hard rock mined out?
Good review ❤
Thanks for the info! But unfortunately I didn't hear how to distinguish *trapiche Emerald* fake and real?
very helpful!
Not only is Nathalie very pretty she is also brilliant. It looks like she grew up surrounded by emeralds.
I love you my beautiful fancy Emeralds. Thank you for being so sweet and kind
So too much Symetry in the imperfections is a good tell for a fake. Helps a lot.
Very nice love your Emerald
Very nice video.. thanks
I have a emerald from the curlew mine that is almost flawless as far as emeralds go. It’s only .65 carats, but it’s absolutely amazing!! And yes, I know it came from that mine 100% positive.
How do you know for sure unless you went into the mine and cut it out of the living rock yourself?
Suppose if I have three different Green stone one pure emreld , second synthetic and third just Green glass or other green stone .
So will they show the difference if I see its Absorption spectrum test ?
This stone is a very sweet color and very difficult to find, but I managed to find it, I am exhibiting it in my museum, soon the model friends on my channel will introduce it 😌😉
Good lesson good learning
Besutiful. Thanks for sharing
Actually bubbles is a way to tell if a gemstone is synthetic because natural gemstones shouldn't contain bubbles unless if it's a water pocket.
You look Beautiful , and yes Many people don't know that the moment humans intervene in natural process the resulting product causes allot of side effects. Either it be food, medicine or gemstones.
interesting video! what about an effy emerald ring purchased from a retail store like Macy's?
Thanks for the explanations. Imho it is most difficult to identify that the variety is actually emerald. Even genuine stones might just be beryl but not real emeralds. Your first stone for example seems very light for an emerald. How can one identify if the color is the right one for an emerald?
I know a lot of gem collectors, 2 are emerald nuts.
They don’t consider that 52 carat stone to be an emerald.
Thank you.
Please clarify whether astrologer consultation is must for suitable stone selection or lagnam based stone selection is enough.
Being a gemologist can u recommend suitable stone which also meets the requirements of planet position as per horoscope.

So lovely, same as emerald ❤️💕❤️
Thank u I have one but of 4 ct of first one quality
Thanks ...i like emerald stone.
Its a great info.
But
what about kakyoin's emerald splash, can he just like sell them?
I was thinking of that lol but. Giorno wont let Kakyoin getthe better buisness cause Golden Experience is coming.
Can you give more details about specific inclusions that would indicate origin of a natural stone?
Would you like to elaborate to the treatments of Emeralds....Colorless Oil ..Colored Oil . Seller Disclosure. AGTA STANDARDS ?
Beware of quarts that has cracks and color green added because they look like emeralds but definitely just quarts stone
We need to stop calling it "synthetic" and call it for what it truly is, a FAKE EMERALD. The "synthetic diamonds" are getting away with that description but as we all know, DeBeers Diamonds for over 70 years kept the consumer unaware that diamonds are everywhere. They controlled the supply and mines in order to make them seem expensive. The secret is out, an emerald is 20 times rarer than a diamond. Diamonds are not forever, diamonds are simply everywhere and they can cost a lot less than emeralds. Let's all treat EMERALDS with respect it deserves. Thank you for the video.

very informative video,
There are many people in the comment section getting angry at natural gemstones as if somebody wanted to scam people with the high prices. Yes, a synthetic will usually look better but it is not a unique thing. It is possible to be created in big quantities and can be worked on with automated machines since the material is cheap and doesnt need so much attention. If you buy a natural gemstone you have something which nobody in the world has like that and that will make you feel different about it. You will get more compliments for a synthetic stone as you will get more for the money but you will know that it does not have a history and it will feel like an imitation. So if you want to buy synthetic stones, there are good reasons for that but know that if you are putting down natural stones you are stepping on the passion of other people and you will sound ignorant.
Thanks for this information, I need help I found two green stones in Morocco and I do not know what its kind is if it is here that can help me ??
5:04" - If you are buying an Emerald of considerable size (ct) for $1000 or less when it should cost $5000 per carat then you know you are NOT buying a genuine Gemstone. Be it Colombian or Zambian an Emerald if natural it is still an Emerald whereas the synthetic ones are just imitation; you can only get what you pay for.
in this business it hard to find good honest people
That princess cut emerald is so pretty!
I have a princess cut emerald and its my second one because the first chipped. They are extremely fragile because of the sharp fragile corners at the setting prongs. Handle with extreme care. Trust me, get an Emerald Cut or round unless you are lucky to have a very large emerald where a bezel setting might be appropriate and safer. Princess cuts have to be handled with extreme caution- dont ever tap your ring on the edge of a table etc.
Welp, synthetic emerald are still actual emerald. They are still made up with the stuff that makes it an emerald. BUT, then there are those plastic gems that pretend to be special.
The great emerald's power allows me to feel
Keep both eyes open while looping
I have a small emerald.
It is deep blue green transparent very attractive but I got it quite cheap.
I love its look.
But it seems synthetic!
I brought it for 500 indian rs which is like
5.2 dollars!
The inclusions make the emerald unique and beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful🔥🔥 thanks for the video
nice vid
i agree with the comments even if they are funny
thanks for showing the different between real and lab created/synthetic
Wow just awesome..
As long as synthetic isn't being sold as a natural emerald then all good. But being mislead is obviously wrong. And I'm all for synthetic gemstones undercutting the market stopping rich mine owners from exploiting people.
I'm pretty sure its not cheap to make synthetic gemstones. Some perhaps cost even more than the natural ones
Just no.
@@mpantony9684 Yes, Emerald and Alexandrite produced by flux synthesis are indeed very expensive.
The biggest emerald just looks like an old light green glass bottle was cut into a gemstone.
Agree. Those genuine emeralds looks like a fake gemstone, coz the color looks not naturally formed, also the size is too huge as a real jewelry. Genuine emerald costs ten thousand dollars per carat, but looks like a fake one. Who really want to get it? ; )
Personally it feels like buying gems is the “easy way” like i didnt earn it. I almost want to hunt them down and cut them myself.
The best way to hunt them down is in a Colombian emerald trading market. Get on a plane. The villagers spend their whole life digging through dumped rubble at actual emerald mines and very few ever find one.

I would someday like to pay a visit to your shop and purchase some jewellery and stones from you..
I noticed the fake ones, have similar colours.
When I first got into gems and stones I was super critical on everything from lab made to even heat treatments. Overtime you realize none of this matters unless it’s an investment stone like type2a diamonds or just good god quality colored stones. if the piece is something you like then you should just get it regardless becuase you will never get what you paid for back and no one else cares unfortunately.
They are both real Gemstones, also both have the same components that create the Gemstone just that one is man made.
She's like most jeweler, doesn't have basic Chemistry knowledge. Of course she is gonna call the man made one fake, even though they're both the same damn thing...
@@ecor150 Good point. So man made is just man made. Only fake if someone tries to sell the man made as "naturally mined" emerald.
@@chloeneo6047 they still have the same chemical composition. So it's still the same thing, they are just lying about it's origin if they are selling a lab made one as earth mined. I have a lab made emerald and it looks way better than any natural one with all those inclusions
Idiot.
Wow Emerald...🛐🔱
What dp you mean by synthetic? It's not an emerald at all, like it's not a real man made emerald or do you mean its a just a green rock that someone made? Also does that mean its worthless?
