YAG is a man-made gemstone that has been around for more than 50 years now. The first generation YAG used mineral oxides such as chromium, titanium, manganese, iron, etc., for coloring. The new, second generation YAG is grown in the Kyropoulous process, which takes time to grow; it is doped with rare earth elements, with brilliant colours. It is lab-created in a large factory in Europe using advanced equipments, which takes more than 1 month to grow.
It took the European manufacturer 40 years to develop the technology of doping permanent rare earth colours into YAG, which is only one of its kind in the entire world.
European YAG is grown and cooled in a low-stress environment, with a highly controlled thermal-gradient. Hence, the gemstones have high optical quality and high purity. They are unique and defect-free.
