Natural Diamond Council News, Photo, Video and Current Affairs

The ‘Navbharat Ratna’, a natural diamond shaped in the form of India’s outline, was crafted by leading diamantaire, and long-term esteemed partner of the Natural Diamond Council, Shree Ramkrishna Exports (SRK). With a vision of a ‘New Bharat’, this 2.120 Carat, VS1 Clarity, I Colour, masterpiece symbolizes the progress, modernization and the new chapter in India’s journey. The Navbharat Ratna is more than a natural diamond—it is a testament to India’s radiant future, brought to life with unparalleled skill and vision by the nation’s skilled artisans. The SRK team dedicated over 35,000 minutes of meticulous craftsmanship and precision to craft this diamond in their net zero certified factory, making this diamond both rare and sustainable. Shri Govind Dholakia, Founder-Chairman Emeritus of SRK recently presented the Hon. Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, with this unique gift. As one-of-a-kind as the natural diamond from which it was crafted, this work of art is a testament to both the billion-year-old raw creation of Mother Earth, and the skill and ability of the artisans who gave it the shape of our glorious country. Shri Govind Laljibhai Dholakia, Founder & Chairman Emeritus Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt.Ltd. said, “The speciality of the Navbharat Ratna is that the map of India is carved out of a single natural diamond, by laser cutting. The younger generation in my family believe that Prime Minister is a gem of the nation, and so we decided to create and gift him this 2.12 Carat gem as a symbol of our appreciation. He represents our nation, so what better than a representation of India for him? One cannot put a price to this diamond, the fact that it symbolizes India makes it absolutely priceless. I am very happy that the Prime Minister recognized the skills of my team, as these artisans are the future of India” Richa Singh, Managing Director, India and Middle East says, “The Navbharat Ratna showcases exactly why India is known as the home of natural diamonds. The unmatched artistry and dedication of our artisans are what earn us recognition and respect on the global stage. We are thrilled that SRK has yet again taken another step towards showcasing the power and uniqueness of these billion-year-old wonders of nature. They are a key building block in our mission of building the natural diamond dream in India” India is the world’s largest center for diamond cutting and polishing, accounting for over 90% of global polished diamond manufacturing. The 1.5 million workers in the natural diamond industry, and every single diamantaire, are gatekeepers of innovation and are constantly upskilling themselves by introducing new patented cuts and discovering unique ways of bringing alive the beauty and sparkle of natural diamonds. This is only possible because of the passion and dedication of the people in the industry towards these billion year old miracles of nature.
