A diamond created with chemical vapour deposition (CVD) is being celebrated as the largest of laboratory-grown diamond to ever be certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI)[2].

Produced by Maitri Lab Grown Diamonds, the 35-carat, emerald-cut diamond was cut from a Type IIa rough crystal.

“We are thrilled to unveil this remarkable 35-carat lab-grown diamond, an achievement which follows extensive research and development efforts, reflecting our dedication to excellence,” Maitri says.

“IGI is proud to certify new benchmarks like this exceptional lab grown diamond from Maitri,” adds IGI North America’s president, Avi Levy. “The increasing sophistication and quality of achievements we’re seeing from the top producers are remarkable. These breakthroughs also underscore how vital screening, grading, and disclosure are in the interest of continued confidence and growth for our industry.”

The diamond will be available for viewing June 2 to 5 at JCK Las Vegas (booth 8123).
