By Auric Charms Where heritage meets high-tech brilliance.

On June 22, 2023, the world watched as India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi presented a 7.5-carat lab-grown green diamond to U.S. First Lady Dr. Jill Biden at the White House.

But this wasn’t just a piece of jewelry - it was a symbol of diplomacy, sustainability, and innovation, elegantly wrapped inside a handcrafted Kashmiri papier-mâché box.

In that single gesture, Modi sent a message louder than words:
“The future of luxury is ethical, meaningful, and Made in India.”

What Made This Diamond So Special?

The diamond gifted to Jill Biden was:

Lab-grown using renewable energy like solar and wind

Emitted just 0.028 grams of carbon per carat

Certified by IGI with perfect 4Cs grading

Crafted entirely in India - a nod to self-reliance and global innovation

Green in color, symbolizing nature, balance, and peace

This wasn’t just a gem. It was a beacon of responsible luxury - and a brilliant metaphor for India's 75 years of freedom, growth, and sustainable intent.

A Confluence of Science and Culture

India’s gift didn’t stop at the diamond.

Modi placed it inside a papier-mâché box known as kar-e-kalamdani, a traditional Kashmiri art combining:

  Sakthsazi - the preparation of paper pulp

   Naqqashi - hand-painting intricate floral designs

It wasn’t just a box. It was an ode to India’s artistic soul, adding cultural depth to technological excellence.

Imagine gifting your partner not just brilliance, but a story like this one.

India’s Global LGD Ambition

India is making major moves to become a global leader in lab-grown diamonds:

 15% of global lab diamond production

$1.29 billion in exports as of 2021

A government-backed R&D initiative to fuel innovation

   And a thriving cutting + polishing industry (90% of the world’s diamonds are polished in India!)

Modi’s gift was more than elegant - it was strategic.
