Founded in 2008, WD Lab Grown Diamonds is the leading producer of laboratory grown diamonds in the United States, headquartered outside of Washington, D.C. As a pioneering materials science company, WD leverages their patented and proprietary processes to create high-quality, conflict-free, guaranteed-origin and fully traceable diamonds.
After over a year of rigorous independent audits, WD became the first third-party sustainability certified diamond company in the world.
WD is the first company worldwide to offer third-party Certified Sustainability Rated and 100% Climate Neutral diamonds
The sustainability investment of WD equals 18X their legacy and current emissions. Every WD Lab Grown diamond purchase sponsors ICIMOD’s Himalayan Brick Kiln Improvement Initiative, a project of the Climate and Clean Air Coalition, and their contributions will result in the reduction of 1.8 million metric tons of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere — improving air quality, lowering emissions, and bettering local communities.
“Through best-in-class talent, a shared passion for innovation, and the collective desire to drive meaningful change, WD proudly builds on its growth trajectory through the values of Integrity, Innovation, Accountability, and Safety.”
