In a move with wider ramifications, the Bharat Diamond Bourse declared that no person / organisation shall promote or trade or be permitted to promote or trade or carry synthetic diamonds / Lab grown diamonds / man-made diamonds within the premises of Bharat Diamond Bourse and hence only “Natural Diamonds” will be traded in the premises of Bharat Diamond Bourse.

 The decision at the general meeting was approved by majority and passed in its entirety. Bharat Diamond Bourse at its 31st Annual General Meeting held on 28 September, 2015, proposed a resolution to declare that no person / organisation shall promote or trade or carry synthetic diamonds / lab grown diamonds / man-made diamonds within the premises of Bharat Diamond Bourse and only “Natural Diamonds” will be traded in the premises of the Bharat Diamond Bourse. The resolution was placed before members at the Annual General Meeting and was approved by an overwhelming majority of the members and was passed in its entirety.

 As of now, no person / organisation shall promote or trade or be permitted to promote or trade or carry synthetic diamonds / lab grown diamonds / man-made diamonds in the premises of Bharat Diamond Bourse and hence only “Natural Diamonds” will be traded in the premises of Bharat Diamond Bourse.

 With this step by the Bharat Diamond Bourse, it has become the only diamond bourse in the world to declare its entire premises as a natural diamond zone / area so as to ensure the growth of the natural diamond trade, strengthen consumer confidence and reassure faith and trust in diamonds. Let us hope this works for the betterment of trade and diamonds in general.
