  Dear Reader
The second edition of the Lab-Grown Diamond Symposium in Dubai underscores the immense opportunities this material presents—not just in jewellery, but also in automobiles, EVs, semiconductors, and even quantum navigation. While jewellery prices have seen a correction, demand continues to rise, particularly among younger consumers who value transparency, accessibility, and innovation over rarity. Industry leaders remain bullish, investing heavily in reactors and advanced technology, defying traditional supply-demand economics. DMCC even predicts the LGD market could surge to $100 billion, reflecting its potential as a true material of the future. As breakthroughs in technology-grade diamonds emerge, the industry stands at the cusp of redefining value itself.
