The South Carolina-based company wants to acquire the production and manufacturing capabilities of India’s Flawless Allure Grown Diamonds.
Lab-grown diamond company Adamas One (formerly Apollo Diamond Corp.) has entered into a letter of intent to purchase India-based lab-grown diamond manufacturer Flawless Allure Grown Diamonds.
Scottsdale, Ariz.—Adamas One Corp. has announced plans to acquire India-based lab-grown diamond manufacturer Flawless Allure Grown Diamonds LLP.
This week, the company entered into a non-binding letter of intent (LOI) regarding the purchase.
The LOI is subject to due diligence, confirmations within industry standards and approval by Adamas One’s board of directors.

Adamas’ facilities are in Greenville, South Carolina. The company currently holds 36 patents and says it uses a proprietary chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process to grow diamonds.
In 2018, the company purchased all assets of Greenville-based Scio Diamond, which went public in 2011 but ran out of money.
Scio was formerly known as Apollo Diamond Corp., the Boston company founded in 1990.
