Diamanti PureGem® Emerald(also known as created, cultured, or lab-grown Emerald) represents science at its very best using a technique that mimics nature, we create a emerald that is astonishingly like natural emerald. PureGem Emerald have the same physical and chemical structure as mined Emeralds and test positive for a emerald on all testers. PureGem Emeralds are no different from natural ones and are considered real emeralds. PureGem Emeralds are not heat treated to enhance their color - their beautiful hue comes from being grown with its true natural color. It should be noted that cultured emeralds are not the same as fake emeralds, which have a different chemical structure from that of natural emeralds.
