MUMBAI: The International Gemological Institute- IGI, analysed and graded the ‘Pride of India,’ a 30.18 carat, laboratory-grown diamond, the world’s largest post grown till date.
The Emerald cut lab grown diamond from Ethereal Green Diamond LLP is all set to be exhibited at the Venetian JCK Las Vegas show, Nevada, from June 10 to 13. “Choosing ethically-made, long-lasting items is one of the best actions you can take for our planet and its people,” said Hirav Anil Virani, Managing Director of Ethereal Green Diamond LLP.
Grown using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) process, the ‘Pride of India’ was graded to have H color, VS2 clarity. The type IIa rough crystal, from which it was fashioned, took approximately four weeks to grow.
IGI also certified a 14.6 carat ‘Freedom of India’ diamond in August 2021, grown by Ethereal Green Diamond LLP, which was the largest lab-grown diamond at the time.
The global lab grown diamonds market size was valued at $19.3 billion in 2020, and is projected to reach $49.9 billion by 2030. The CVD segment led in terms of lab grown diamonds market share in 2020 and is expected to retain its dominance throughout the forecast period. (ANI/PRNewswire)
