The International Grown Diamond Association (IGDA) has launched IGDA 2.0, “a completely revamped version aimed at supporting and serving the rapidly growing lab-created diamond industry,” Rough & Polished reports.
According to IGDA’s ED Dick Garard, IGDA 2.0 “will provide focused services to support the growing number of global lab-grown diamond companies. We have an aggressive strategic plan that begins with the involvement of the entire global lab-grown diamond industry, many longtime supporters, and the welcome addition of newer, younger members.”
Established in 2016, IGDA is a nonprofit aimed to educate and develop the lab-created diamonds industry worldwide. IGDA 2.0 promises “ a new wide-ranging board of advisors, distribution of a new consumer point of sale and promotional materials, sales associates training, and a newly established network of international chapters, including educating consumers and promoting lab-created diamonds internationally.”
