The meeting touched on strengthening collaboration to promote natural diamond jewellery in China, including ongoing work with Chow Tai Fook.<\/p>\n<p>Lin noted that consumer interest in natural diamonds is gradually improving, supported by signs of market recovery. He also shared that lab-grown diamonds in China largely remain in the low price, accessory-style segment, typically under USD 150 and sold through mass retail formats. This trend is helping preserve the value perception of natural diamonds among Chinese consumers.<\/p>\n<p>Both sides discussed ways to deepen cooperation and support natural diamond jewellery category growth through targeted promotional initiatives and consumer education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Lin, VP Sales, De Beers Group, visited the GJEPC head office in Mumbai on 27 November, where he was received by Kirit Bhansali, Chairman, GJEPC; Shaunak Parikh, Vice Chairman, GJEPC; Anoop Mehta, Convener &#8211; Diamond Panel, GJEPC; Ashish Borda, Convener &#8211; PMBD, GJEPC; and Ajesh Mehta, former Convener &#8211; Diamond Panel, GJEPC.
