MAN-MADE STONES

Crafted in laboratories, man-made or artificial stones have no natural counterpart, allowing a virtually endless kaleidoscope of colors and range of hardness and compositions.

MAN-MADE STONES

CUBIC ZIRCONIA

Cubic zirconia could be said to be the jewel in Pandora's crown, making up the majority of the stones we use in our jewelry. Its optical appearance is like a diamond, only slightly less brilliant.

Man-made/nano crystal

Not to be confused with naturally occurring crystal, nano crystal is an entirely man-made crystal and does not exist in nature.

Lacquered artificial pearl

Lacquered artificial pearl is a laboratory-made glass-ceramic with an innovative pearl like coating.

Love your stone!

Care for your man-made stone by avoiding rough handling. When you're not wearing it, store it separately from your other pieces to avoid scratches. Clean it with lukewarm, soapy water and gentle brushing in circular motions.
