Gemological Science International (GSI) launched the industry’s first-ever educational course dedicated to laboratory-grown diamonds. In the last couple of years, the diamond industry has witnessed rapid growth and increasing demand of laboratory-grown diamonds, which is borne out by the fact that GSI has received hundreds of thousands of laboratory-grown diamonds for grading and identification.
“It is imperative that the jewellery industry has the ability to communicate about laboratory-grown diamonds confidently and with transparency. GSI [is excited to offer] an online resource that any member of the industry will find value in referencing.” said Alethea Inns, GSI’s Chief Learning Officer.
“There are many nuances when it comes to lab grown diamonds; from their growth methods and treatments, to understanding the various inclusions, color undertones and other factors – it’s not exactly the same as natural diamonds,” added Debbie Azar President and Co-Founder of GSI.
