The Chatham Legacy: Pioneers in Lab Grown Gemstones
Chatham has been at the forefront of lab-grown gemstone technology for over 80 years. Founded by Carroll Chatham, the company revolutionized the gem industry by creating the world's first commercially successful lab-grown emeralds in the 1930s. Today, Chatham continues this legacy of innovation, producing exceptional lab-grown emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and alexandrites, along with opal and spinel, that are chemically and optically identical to natural gemstones.
Why Choose Chatham Lab Grown Gemstones?
Identical to Natural Gems: Chatham gemstones aren't imitations or simulants—they're the real deal. Created using the same conditions found deep within the Earth, these gems possess the same chemical composition as mined stones. Most gemologists need specialized equipment to distinguish them from natural gems.
Exceptional Quality: Every Chatham gemstone is grown with meticulous care and precision. The controlled laboratory environment allows for superior clarity and color consistency, often surpassing what's found in nature. Each stone is carefully inspected to meet Chatham's exacting standards.
Ethical and Sustainable: Lab-grown gemstones eliminate the environmental impact and ethical concerns associated with traditional mining. No land is excavated and no questionable labor practices are involved. You can wear your Chatham gemstone with complete peace of mind.
Exceptional Value: Because they're created in a controlled environment, Chatham gemstones offer incredible value. You can own a larger, higher-quality stone for a fraction of the cost of a comparable mined gem—without any compromise on beauty or durability.
The Chatham Difference
What sets Chatham apart from other lab-grown gemstone producers? It's their unwavering commitment to quality and transparency. The company's decades of expertise and continuous innovation ensure that you're getting a gemstone that will last for generations.
