At the recently held CIBJO World Jewellery Confederation Congress, the need to clearly differentiate between laboratory-grown and natural diamonds was reiterated.The CIBJO Laboratory-Grown Diamond Committee once again emphasized that all traders dealing in both types of diamonds must unambiguously distinguish between the two, to provide consumers with clear information about their buying choices.
It will be important for both natural and laboratory-grown diamonds to continue to operate as separate market segments without looking to harm or disparage the other, Hunt said. Both products should not make any unsubstantiated sustainability claims.
Terminology for LGDs is extremely important to accurately inform the consumer about the product, said Raluca Anghel, Head of External Affairs and Industry Relations at the Natural Diamond Council.
The following terms can be used to describe LGDs: “laboratory-created diamonds”, and “synthetic diamonds.” However, terms such as “real diamonds” and “eco-friendly diamonds” should not be used, Hunt said, adding that CIBJO welcomed any refinement considerations to the LGD guidelines, and for contributions from LGD trade bodies in the United States, China and elsewhere to re-ignite consumer confidence.
