Swarovski is expanding its lab-grown fine jewelry line to new markets after debuting in the U.S. and Canada.
New York—Swarovski is set to launch its lab-grown diamond jewelry collection globally following its debut in the U.S. and Canada.
“Swarovski Created Diamonds” will soon be available in all of its flagship stores and key markets, including China, Italy, Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Germany, Austria, and the United Arab Emirates.

“Our partnership with IGI will guarantee the quality of each stone in our forthcoming Swarovski Created Diamonds collections, enhancing consumer trust and confidence during our global roll out.”
Roland Lorie, current CEO of IGI, said, “Swarovski has been renowned for its precision cutting, innovation, and artistry since 1895. We are pleased our new partnership will ensure that every single stone is graded and certified according to the 4Cs of diamond quality.”
