IGI India recently certified a 14.60 carat lab grown diamond, reportedly the largest ever produced using the Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) growth method. The recorded weight surpasses the previous record-holder, certified by IGI last November, by nearly two carats.
Judged to be Type IIa, the most chemically pure category, the 14.60 carat F color, VS2 clarity emerald cut has measurements of 13.50 x 13.20 x 8.93 millimeters. Grown by Mumbai-based Ethereal Green Diamond, the record holder has been named Freedom of India, a reference to the country’s 75th Independence Day which occurred on August 15th. IGI Press Room
