Diamanti PureGem® Rubies (also known as created, cultured, or lab-grown rubies) represents science at its very best using a technique that mimics nature, we create a ruby that is astonishingly like natural ruby. PureGem Rubies have the same physical and chemical structure as mined Rubies and test positive for a Ruby on all testers. PureGem Rubies are no different from natural ones and are considered real rubies. It should be noted that artificially produced rubies are not the same as fake rubies, which have a different chemical structure from that of natural ruby.
