Editor’s Note
This article highlights how a small enterprise is making waves in the jewelry sector with advanced lab-grown diamond technology. As the market for these stones is projected to grow significantly, it underscores a broader shift where innovation and quality are redefining traditional industries.
A small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) is attracting attention in the jewelry industry for its production technology of artificial diamonds. In recent years, the quality has improved to the point where it is indistinguishable from natural diamonds. The global market for jewelry-grade artificial diamonds is projected to reach approximately 1.71 trillion yen by 2030, 2.5 times the size of the 2024 market. While jewelry-grade artificial diamonds, which were less prominent compared to industrial ones, are creating new business opportunities, competition with overseas players is also intensifying.
