The US has announced new tariffs on imported jewellery, affecting gold, diamond, and other precious pieces. While many exporters brace for challenges, India’s lab-grown diamond sector may actually find opportunity in the disruption.
Here’s why.
🌱 1. India Is Already a Lab-Grown Powerhouse
India, particularly Surat and Mumbai, has become a global hub for CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamonds.
-
Produces some of the world’s highest-quality lab-grown stones
-
Supplies both loose diamonds and finished jewellery
-
Offers competitive manufacturing costs compared to other countries
With strong domestic production, Indian brands face fewer international sourcing dependencies — keeping costs stable.

📉 2. Price Advantage Over Natural Diamonds
Natural diamond prices have been volatile in the last two years, and tariffs could make them even less competitive in the US.
Lab-grown diamonds:
-
Cost 40–70% less
-
Are immune to scarcity-based pricing
-
Offer consistent quality grading
This price stability makes them more appealing to US retailers and Indian buyers alike.
🌍 3. Ethical and Sustainable Appeal
US consumers are increasingly choosing brands that offer:
-
Traceable sourcing
-
Conflict-free assurance
-
Environmentally friendly production
Lab-grown diamonds from India check all these boxes, giving them a marketing edge internationally.
📈 4. Export Growth Potential
Even if tariffs apply, lab-grown’s lower base price means they remain competitive after duty is added.
Plus:
-
Indian exporters can target direct-to-consumer sales in the US via e-commerce
-
Domestic sales in India can absorb part of the export output without steep discounts
