Record-Breaking Lab-Grown Diamonds

Shiphra is the World's Largest Lab-Grown Diamond

— June 2, 2023 — Fashion
Ethereal Green's Shiphra is a 50.25-carat lab-grown diamond, and a record-breaking one at that. This is the largest lab-grown diamond in the world and it was recently certified by the International Gemological Institute as the first of its kind to surpass the "half-century" mark in carat weight.

Shiphra is a Type IIa emerald-cut diamond with G color, VS2 clarity, and Excellent cut, polish and symmetry, and the crystal from which it was polished was grown over a period of eight weeks using Chemical Vapor Deposition. Ethereal Green will have the world's largest lab-grown diamond on display at JCK Las Vegas.

This milestone achievement demonstrates the sophistication and quality of lab-grown diamonds and pushes the boundaries of what's possible.

3. Sustainability in Jewelry Manufacturing - Lab-grown diamonds are a more sustainable option than traditional mined diamonds, signaling a growing trend towards eco-friendly jewelry manufacturing.
