Laboratory-Grown Diamonds(LGD)

Laboratory-Grown Diamonds(LGD) : Recently, the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), the global authority on gem grading, announced that it will stop using its traditional 4Cs grading system (Colour, Clarity, Cut, Carat Weight) for laboratory-grown diamonds.

• About LGD: Same chemical, physical, optical properties & crystal structure as natural diamonds.
• Applications : Widely used in industrial tools and machines due to their hardness and strength, ideal for cutting and drilling.

o Pure synthetic diamonds serve in electronics as heat spreaders for laser diodes, laser arrays, and high-power transistors.

o India produces over three million lab-grown diamonds annually, contributing 15% to global production.
