Inspired by Aztec architecture, this richly textured pendant showcases an environmentally friendly, lab grown paraiba tourmaline.
 
Lab-created gems are chemically, physically and optically identical to those mined underground — but they have fewer flaws, a lighter carbon footprint and cost less, too. Not to be confused with imitation gems, Lab grown gems are genuine. Environmentally speaking, lab-created stones do not tax natural resources the way the process for natural gems does — no mines are dug, the labs use a fraction of the utilities and resources necessary for a mining operation and leave behind less pollutants.
