WEBINAR: Thursday, February 10, 2022 | 3pm ET<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW\nYORK, NY, January 31, 2022 \/ As consumer demand for lab grown diamonds\ncontinues its exponential rise, it is more important than ever that the\nretailer, designer, and distributor can accurately and powerfully share the\nunique story behind this emerging new category. In this first-of-a-kind joint\nwebinar, WD Lab Grown Diamonds (\u201cWD\u201d) and Gem Certification & Assurance Lab\n(\u201cGCAL\u201d) will provide an inside look into the journey of a lab grown diamond,\nfrom initial seed to certification, followed by an open Q+A session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World\nrenowned crystal growth scientist, WD\u2019s Chief Process Officer Jonathan\nLevine-Miles, PhD, will share step-by-step how WD\u2019s diamonds are grown\nsustainably in a controlled, safe production environment. From diamond seed\nselection, to growth atom-by-atom within the chamber, to final finishing by\ntheir expert team of scientists and artisans, this information-packed tour will\nshed light on the specialized process of high-quality diamond growth. Once each\none-of-a-kind diamond is polished and ready for certification, it proceeds to\nthe next step in its fully traceable, guaranteed chain of custody.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, testing, grading, and certifying lab grown diamonds is a complex and lengthy procedure. GCAL\u2019s Chief Operating Officer Angelo Palmieri will walk through the process, providing the facts needed to clearly demonstrate a diamond\u2019s quality and value to the customer. Directly assessing a diamond\u2019s make and light performance, developing its digital certificate, registering its unique Gemprint\u00ae fingerprint, and creating 360\u00b0 and Fire videos are just some of the steps involved. The GCAL team will conclude with an overview of how they work with third-party sustainability certification organization SCS Global Services, Inc. to verify WD\u2019s Sustainability Rated, 100% Climate Neutral diamonds.
