Trump Diamond - a Lab Grown Gift from India to US
January 21, 25
(IDEX Online) - A diamond manufacturer in India has created a lab grown replica of Donald Trump, as a symbol of the country's strong ties with the US.
The 4.30-carat stone is the work of Surat-based Greenlab, the company that made the 7.5-ct F / VVS2 gem that was presented by India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi to then-US First Lady Jill Biden in June 2023.
Greenlab, which produces 1.5m lab grown carats a year, says it took two months to grow the Trump diamond, and it plans to present it to the newly sworn-in president as a gift.
"This 4.7-carat masterpiece is a symbol of our appreciation for leadership and our deep connection with the US market," said company director Smit Patel.
