We are all very surprised and impressed by what has been accomplish. Even the growth structure the only way to identify or distinguish between the diamonds in the laboratory is more difficult to identify.

Swarovski Jumps Into the Lab-Grown Diamond Business


Swarovski, the Austrian company famed for its signature crystals, is now selling synthetic diamonds.

A Swarovski spokesperson confirmed that the renowned jewellery brand has launched Diama, its first lab-grown diamond line, marking a shift for a company that has traditionally sold diamond simulants.

A Swarovski statement says Diama is an amalgam of Dia for diamond and Ama for love. All the diamonds are set in 18k gold, it says. “Swarovski Created Diamonds are identical to mined diamonds according to their optical, physical, and chemical properties,” it says. “They are diamonds with all of the essential qualities of a diamond, only the origin is a laboratory, not the earth.”

Sotheby’s Shares Ownership of ‘$72M’ Pink Diamond

 Sotheby’s teamed up with two other firms to collectively own the Pink Star diamond, which has been valued at $72 million.

In November 2013, the oval mixed cut, 59.60-carat, fancy vivid pink, internally flawless stone was sold to diamond cutter Isaac Wolf for a world auction record of $83.2 million in Geneva.

The gem was returned to Sotheby’s after Wolf defaulted. “Diacore and Mellen Inc. have acquired an ownership interest in one of the world’s natural treasures: the remarkable Pink Star diamond,” Sotheby’s said in a statement. “The three parties have formally partnered to achieve the value of the 59.60-carat stone, which Sotheby’s holds in its inventory.” No other details, including financial, were disclosed. However, a Sotheby’s annual report published in February 2014 shows the diamond was recorded in the company’s inventory at about $72 million.

It remains the largest internally flawless, fancy vivid pink diamond ever graded by the Gemological Institute of America, Sotheby's said. Diacore purchased the original 132.50-carat rough and took two years to cut and polish it, the statement added.

Diacore is a diamond manufacturer headquartered in Johannesburg, South Africa. Mellen Inc. is a family-run private jeweler based in New York.
The exceptional diamond was recoverd from a mine in South Africa, originaly named the Steinmetz Pink.
