RAPAPORT... Scio Diamond Technology Corporation, a producer of
lab-grown diamonds, got its 28th patent for gemstone production from chemical
vapor deposition (CVD) diamond plate.
“This is the
latest addition to our extensive patent portfolio, which ensures broad
intellectual-property protection for our industry-leading diamond manufacturing
processes,” Gerald McGuire, Scio Diamond’s chief executive officer, said in a
statement February 3.
“Our proprietary CVD process
allows us to produce stunning diamonds in color and size combinations that are
seldom found in mines, such as fancy color pink diamonds that are prized for
fine jewelry,” McGuire continued.
The company creates
high-quality, type-IIa, single-crystal diamonds in a controlled laboratory
setting. Stones include colorless, near colorless and fancy-color
lab-grown diamonds in size, color and quality combinations that are “rare in
earth-mined diamonds,” according to the statement. The group provides gems for
jewelry and diamond materials for industrial applications.
Its technology delivered the first CVD single-crystal diamond plates,
CVD-grown diamond gems and one-inch square single-crystal diamond wafers.
