RAPAPORT... Jewelry manufacturer Stuller added
lab-grown diamonds to its repertoire of gems used in its products.
Its
synthetic stones will be housed in a separate vault from its natural diamonds
and stored and shipped in a distinct blue acrylic box and always handed
separately, according to a statement February 29.
All
grown in the U.S., the diamonds will be accompanied by a certificate from the
Gem Certification and Assurance Lab (GCAL) and have a unique inscription on the
girdle and a distinctly labeled package.
“Lab-grown
diamonds are optically, visually, and chemically identical to natural
diamonds,” said Stanley Zale, Stuller’s vice president of diamonds and
gemstones. “We want to give jewelers every option they need to thrive and many
of our customers already offer these diamonds with great success.”
The
announcement comes after the more than 10 lab-grown diamond producers launched the International Grown
Diamond Association (IGDA) last month
to represent the synthetics industry.
