Lab grown diamonds: the future of the Indian diamond sector

India, long recognised for diamond cutting and polishing, is now making major strides in lab grown diamonds.

What are lab grown diamonds

Grown diamonds share the same physical, chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds, made using HPHT or CVD methods.

Why they are booming in India

• Advances in CVD and HPHT technology.
• Cost-effectiveness compared to mined diamonds.
• Environmental and ethical awareness.
• A skilled workforce moving from mined to grown.
• Government support through incentives and research grants.
