  • Summary

  • For the first time, a "seed" ruby has grown into a full-sized gemstone directly on a platinum ring using a chemical process.Sofie Boons, a senior lecturer and jewelry design researcher at the University of the West of England (UWE), Bristol, developed a chemical technique to stimulate the growth of rubies, BBC reported on September 26. This method allows a tiny ruby fragment to gradually increase in size when placed in a jewelry setting. UWE believes this "on-site" growth process is a world first.
