A lab-grown diamond company has partnered up with Warren Buffett-owned jewelry retailer Borsheims to unveil the largest lab grown PINK diamond in the world. This 3.99 carat, Fancy Orange Pink, VS2 clarity diamond will be sold along with other lab grown PINK Diamonds that range from 1 to 3 carats.
It’s interesting to see how respected billionaire businessman Warren Buffett has embraced lab-grown diamonds, especially since the mined diamond industry is fighting so hard and working with retailers to keep the public from buying Lab Grown Diamonds.
For example, this happened to me: I called the headquarters of a major warehouse store and spoke to the Assistant Jewelry Buyer to talk about supplying lab grown diamonds. I explained who I am and pitched a multi-designer line of bridal engagement rings, featuring Lab Grown Diamonds. Before I could finish, she dismissively yelled in to phone, “WE DON’T SELL THAT STUFF”. I calmly asked if she knew about Lab Grown Diamonds? She again yelled into the phone. “YES I DO. I JUST CAME BACK FROM ISRAEL AND I KNOW ALL ABOUT THOSE FAKE DIAMONDS ,” and then she hung up on me.
Wow, sure looks like some one is in the pockets of the mined diamond industry.
What do you all think?
