Gemstone Beads

Gemstone Classification: Natural, Synthetic, and Simulated

Natural Gemstones: Formed naturally in the Earth over millions of years, these stones may be treated (e.g., heat or chemicals) to improve color and clarity, while retaining natural imperfections and inherent beauty.

Synthetic Gemstones: Lab-grown stones with the same chemical and physical properties as natural gemstones. They are real gems, created through controlled processes.

Simulated Gemstones: Made from materials like glass or resin to imitate natural gemstones. They don’t share the same properties and are used as affordable alternatives.

Important Note on Natural Gemstones: Natural gemstones are unique, often with variations in color, size, and imperfections, which may also appear in beads or pieces from different batches.
