Answers about our gemstones, orders, wholesale support, shipping, returns, and custom cutting.

Gemstones & Products
About our stones
Are your gemstones natural or lab-created?

Most gemstones sold by Boda Gems are lab-created, synthetic, or man-made gemstones unless clearly stated otherwise.

We specialize in moissanite, lab-created ruby, lab-created sapphire, lab-created emerald, cubic zirconia, and other synthetic gemstones.

What is the difference between lab-created and natural gemstones?

Lab-created gemstones are made in controlled environments using advanced technology. They can have similar chemical, optical, or physical properties to natural gemstones depending on the material, but they are not mined from the earth.

Natural gemstones are formed in nature and usually have different pricing, rarity, inclusions, and certification standards.

Why does the stone color look slightly different from the photo?

Gemstone color may appear different due to lighting, camera angle, screen settings, and batch differences.

We try our best to provide accurate photos and descriptions, but slight color variation is normal.

Do your stones come with certificates?

Some stones may include certificates or reports if stated in the product listing.

If you need certification for a specific order, please contact us before purchasing.

Can I request videos or more photos before ordering?

Yes. For certain products, we may be able to provide additional photos or videos before purchase, especially for higher-value or wholesale orders.
