Lab-grown diamonds have become a popular choice in India, offering a dazzling and ethical alternative to mined stones. But with a growing market comes the need for trust and transparency. Here’s where diamond certification plays a crucial role in garnering one’s interest.

Different firms tend to offer many local and global certifications. But, the most recognized of all the ones present, are majorly, the following three: –
