Lab-grown diamonds

DMCC is a pivotal hub for the development and trade of lab-grown diamonds.

Offering members access to state-of-the-art facilities including the Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE), the ecosystem sets the international benchmark for standards and transparency in the lab-grown diamond sector.

All members abide by a rigorous code of conduct, including ensuring lab-grown and natural diamonds are not mixed and that there is full disclosure of lab-grown products​​.

Recognising the shift in the diamond industry toward lab-grown diamonds, DMCC hosted the world’s first-ever laboratory-grown diamond tender at the DDE in 2019 with more 50,000 carats of laboratory-grown diamonds up for offer​​.

These facilities and initiatives underscore DMCC’s commitment to advancing Dubai's role in the global lab-grown diamond market, offering potential members a robust and transparent platform for trade and enterprise.

DMCC’s The Future of Trade report (Lab-Grown Diamonds Edition) offers exclusive insights into this fast-growing sector and discusses how this nascent product will shape the Future of Trade, gathering insights from key industry leaders on the opportunities and challenges brought about by LGDs at all levels of the value chain.

Membership of the Forum is by invitation only and is extended to DDE members who have conducted a minimum of two tenders in the 12 months prior to the establishment of the Forum.
