Synthetic stones are created in a laboratory over a short period of time to resemble their natural counterpart.

A synthetic stone is classified as any stone that has not been formed in nature over thousands of years, but instead created in a laboratory over a short period of time to resemble its natural counterpart but these can differ greatly in appearance and how they are formed.

It's important to consider synthetic stones on their own merits: they are not a replacement for natural stones but are instead a human tribute to their unique beauty.

Synthetic stones exhibit less colour variations – although slight variations can be found in lighter-coloured stones such as pink and purple – which considerably reduces material waste.

Because it's possible to supply synthetic stones in quantities suitable for large-scale jewellery making, Pandora is able to create beautiful and affordable jewellery designs.
