Rosy Blue CEO:
'Absolutely' No Synthetics in Our Parcels

Mehta, Director, Rosy Blue
Polished diamond manufacturer Rosy Blue has vehemently denied that its
parcels contain synthetic diamonds, responding to rumors circulated in India's
marketplace for the past two months.
"We know that the rumor started in India and subsequently people have added
spice to it, saying that we are buying synthetic diamonds, manufacturing them
and mixing them with our product," the company's CEO, Dilip Mehta, told Rapaport
News. "We did not pay attention to the rumors for the first four to
six weeks, but they have continued so we thought it was about time we put the
record straight."
Mehta stressed that the Antwerp-based Diamond Trading Company sightholder
adhers to the strictest auditing practices – receiving both internal and
external checks to its manufacturing processes, which, he said, the company was
satisfied with.
"To start off, we don’t buy synthetic diamonds to polish them," he
said. "So, if you start at the origin, it's all about natural
diamonds, and that is what we keep to."
Mehta cautioned, however, that the market was susceptible to companies mixing
lab-grown diamonds with the natural product, particularly with small, fancy
yellow stones.
"The rumor has been out there for the past two-to-three-years that there
have been products with a mixture of natural and synthetic diamonds," he
explained. "Some of the labs have seen it. I'm not aware of how widespread
it is, but there has been a constant concern about very small yellow size
diamonds coming from unknown sources."
"That is absolutely not the case at our company," he added.
