All non-natural diamonds to be labelled only as “synthetic: CIBJO
The World Jewellery Confederation (CIBJO) plans to undo a decision it made back in 2010. It now wants all non-natural diamonds to be labelled only as “synthetic.”
This means the terms “laboratory-grown” and “laboratory-created” will be removed from CIBJO’s Diamond Blue Book (the global reference for diamond terminology and trade practices) and from related ISO Standards.
CIBJO also says the 4Cs grading system should apply only to natural diamonds, just as the GIA has recently decided.
Udi Sheintal, president of CIBJO’s Diamond Commission, explained that the earlier acceptance of “lab-grown” terminology was well-meaning but turned out to be a mistake.
He added that synthetic diamonds have often been marketed as more ethical, sustainable, and conflict-free—claims that, he argued, are usually not backed by evidence.
Udi Sheintal also stressed the need for clearer transparency. He said marketing should make it clear that synthetic diamonds are not grown in “laboratories,” but manufactured in industrial facilities using artificial processes.

Refined Protection: Zen Diamond Presents the Reimagined Evil Eye
Crafted in 9kt White Gold, Zen Diamond’s Contemporary Evil Eye Collection Blends Protection with Poised, Everyday Luxury
The Evil Eye has always been a symbol of protection, but at Zen Diamond, it takes on a refined new identity. Crafted in 9kt white gold, marking a new chapter for the brand, the collection introduces a lighter, sleeker approach to luxury that feels effortless yet intentional. Reimagined for modern wardrobes, the Evil Eye Collection moves beyond charm jewellery and familiar clichés, introducing an interpretation designed for expression and poise. This is not a token you tuck away for sentiment, it’s a statement you choose to wear.
Evil Eye Earrings (Circular Motif)
These earrings reinterpret the traditional protective symbol through soft curves and clean geometry. A circular contour gently frames the evil eye, outlined with a halo of diamonds that bring subtle elegance to the overall silhouette. The overall effect is balanced and understated, playful in meaning, polished in execution, and easy to imagine as an everyday signature.
Evil Eye Hoop Earrings
Sculpted in 9kt white gold, these hoop earrings offer a fresh, playful take on the evil eye. Sky-blue topaz, enamel detailing, and softly set diamonds come together in a way that feels light and expressive rather than formal. Balanced and contemporary, the hoops sit comfortably between statement and subtlety, designed for effortless, everyday wear with a sense of intention.
Evil Eye Necklace with Chain Drops
This design stands out for its sense of movement. Diamond-set elements lead into fine chain drops that shift naturally as the necklace is worn, giving the piece a fluid, architectural quality. While the evil eye remains the focal point, the defining feature is the necklace’s movement and the way it responds to light. Together, these elements create a design of poetic elegance that feels both powerful and feminine.
Teardrop Evil Eye Necklace
This necklace reworks the traditional evil eye through a softer, more fluid lens. Instead of rigid lines, the motif appears almost in motion, with a teardrop form that feels gently melted rather than fixed. Diamonds trace the curve of the design, while enamel detailing adds contrast and depth without overpowering the form. Suspended from a fine chain with scattered accents, the piece is an interpretation of protection that’s thoughtful and modern.
