MINSK, 4 March (BelTA) – Belarusian diamond jewelry was presented in one of Minsk stores in the run-up to International Women’s Day celebrated on 8 March, BelTA has learned.

“Belarus has created the conditions for making artificial diamonds whose parameters and properties do not differ from the natural ones,” said Nadezhda Kotkovets, Deputy Head of President’s Property Management Directorate. Only five companies in the world apply similar technology and this is an important move for the country. Rings and earrings with Belarusian diamonds are a gift every woman will like. At the same time they are 2 to 2.5 times cheaper than similar foreign products and are as good as them in terms of quality and looks.

OOO AdamasInvest General Director Maksim Bord said that the company considers exporting the jewelry, for example to the U.S. and India. The enterprise expects the products to be in high demand.

“We plan to compete on the global scale and promote the national research and development. The difference between synthetic and natural diamonds can only be established in a special laboratory. The collection also features fancy color diamonds that are extremely rare in nature,” Maksim Brod said.

The company producing Belarusian diamonds and brilliants is based in Atolino, Minsk Oblast. Originally the enterprise was set up under the aegis of the Belarusian State University with special focus on R&D. Recently it has concentrated on the production of high-quality diamonds that can be used in the jewelry industry. More than 30 specialists are involved in the production of synthetic diamonds.
