Sofie Boons, a lecturer from UWE Bristol has developed a chemical technique that lets a full-size ruby grow in situ, in a platinum ring. She has spent the last four years developing the process to grow this waste material in situ in metal structures.The lab-grown gems are identical to mined ones, with the same structure and quality – the only difference is where they have been grown, according to Boons.
Professor Boons added that this method is a completely innovative and sustainable one. As per her, when dealing with chipped gems, jewelers must cut them down further, which reduces their value. However, this new process allows them to use leftover gemstone fragments to grow larger gems directly within metal structures.
After the perfect stone is selected, it is precisely cut into specific shapes, such as round, oval, princess, or emerald, to maximize its brilliance and visual appeal.
