It's a new dawn, it's a new dayand I'm feeling good, in The Garden of Adin

Adin, a wealth of jewellery and information

The first lab-produced gemstones were already made in the 19th century! Auguste Victor Louis Verneuil was a French chemist (1856-1913). He invented a type of blowpipe (chalumeau) with which he was the first to lab-produce rubies. This process is also sometimes referred to as 'flame fusion'. His results were published in 1904. The apparatus is still used today (sometimes in banks of several hundred units) to make synthetic varieties of corundum and other synthetic gemstones.
