LGD Trade Body Relaunches As Industry Experiences Rapid Expansion

The International Grown Diamond Association (IGDA) announced the launch of IGDA 2.0, a complete revamp of the trade association originally formed in 2016, to serve and support the lab-grown diamond (LGD) industry.

The IGDA 2.0 launch is led by the deployment of a new website, a broader based board of advisors, the development and distribution of consumer point of sale and promotional materials, sales associate training and the evolution of a network of international chapters.

“IGDA 2.0 will provide focused services to support the growing number of global LGD companies,” said Dick Garard, Executive Director of IGDA.

He continued: “We have an aggressive strategic plan that begins with the involvement of the entire global LGD industry, many long-time supporters and the welcome addition of newer, younger members.”

IGDA’s mission continues to be to represent the LGD industry, educate consumers and promote LGDs. IGDA expects that the 2.0 launch will enhance the organisation’s professionalism, diversify the membership, and expand global reach.
