Lab-grown paraiba colored garnets?

Posted on March 22, 2010 by mrahm

I just sold a gorgeous 10×8 emerald cut Chatham-created pariaba colored garnet to a long-time loyal customer.

These breathtaking brilliant lab-grown seafoam garnets were created as part of a Chatham materials research project to grow a synthetic paraiba look-alike. While the experiment was successful in creating these fabulous gemstones, it wasn’t kind to the machines used to do so. So these beautiful Chatham gemstones are truly a once-in-a lifetime opportunity.

Seafoam garnets make a unique eye-catching center stone in your engagement ring or as smaller accent stones. They are available in a variety of shapes and sizes in greenish blue as well as a bluish green color.
