Synthetic Gemstones 

Synthetic gemstones are often treated. That means they are damaged or broken and then repaired by heating the stone in a kiln, applying an acid solution, or another method. These stones are rarely found in their natural color, and instead, they are dyed or heated to achieve their color. Most synthetic rubies available today are only about 4 carats, while most sapphires can be up to 10 carats.

 

Imitation Gemstones 

Imitation gemstones have been in use since ancient times. Ancient Egyptian artisans used colored glass and quartz to create imitations of turquoise, blue topaz, and emeralds. Because of this demand, jewelers in Seattle have several different kinds of imitation stones found on jewelry and others.
