For the first time, a diamond company based in Surat has developed a lab-grown green cross diamond. This green cross diamond has made its debut. A 17-carat diamond was used in its creation. It is the first time such a diamond has been seen in the world, and it has created a stir in markets worldwide. Let’s take a look at the process of creating this diamond.
Surat: The cross is a symbol of faith for the Christian community. Surat Diamond Company has created the world’s first 17-carat lab-made cross diamond. It has become a subject of wonder in markets across the globe. The Surat-based company has created a diamond with a unique pattern, grown in a laboratory. This will be the first time the world has seen it. The centerpieces of attraction in this lab-made diamond are the 17-carat single-piece cross, a 14-carat emerald, a 12-carat dolphin, a 13-carat butterfly, and a 12-carat fish.
Diamonds grown in labs are 75 percent cheaper compared to rough diamonds. In every way, lab-grown, CVD, or synthetic diamonds are less expensive than real diamonds and have the same brilliance. Without a certificate, not only the general public but even diamond traders will not be able to tell the difference between a real diamond and a lab-grown one. Consequently, Surat’s diamond manufacturers have entered the synthetic diamond sector. Demand for this specialty has skyrocketed as a result of recent corporate scandals. For quite some time, exports of lab-grown diamonds have been increasing by up to 200 percent.
According to Ghanshyam Bhandari, head of the Bhandari Group, this is a laboratory-developed diamond. They are of a higher grade than diamonds obtained from the mine where the diamond was originally extracted. All scientific parameters are the same. These lab preparations are unique in that they do not harm the environment, whereas the process of extracting natural diamonds damages the earth. It is called a green diamond.
