Is a lab-created sapphire a real sapphire?

Yes. It has the same chemical makeup and hardness as a mined sapphire, just made in a lab. It looks and wears the same but costs much less.

Will the silver tarnish?

Sterling silver darkens over time, especially with lotions and humidity. A soft cloth and occasional silver polish keep it bright.

Most jewelers can resize a plain sterling silver band. Rings with stones set around the band are harder to resize.

Is it good for everyday wear?

Yes. Sapphire is one of the hardest gemstones, and silver is durable enough for daily use with normal care.

How does it compare with a diamond ring?

Sapphire is nearly as hard as diamond and gives a white, bright look at a lower cost. Diamond still wins on brilliance and resale value.

How should I clean it?

Use warm water, mild soap and a soft brush, then dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners on silver.

About the Kay Jewelers White Lab-Created Sapphire Ring

A sterling silver ring set with a white lab-created sapphire, sold by a national mall jeweler. Lab-created sapphire has the same hardness and look as mined sapphire, so it resists scratches and keeps its sparkle, but it costs far less than a natural stone. The simple silver setting suits everyday wear and gift giving. Compared with fine-jewelry sapphire rings, it trades prestige and resale value for durability and an easy, classic look.
