CJA Guidelines to Advertising Lab Grown Diamonds
In response to the increase of lab grown diamonds being marketed to Canadian consumers the CJA has designed the CJA Guidelines to Advertising Lab Grown Diamonds (LGD) to assist industry trade members (retail, wholesale and manufacturers) in presenting LGD in compliance with Canadian law so consumers are not misled by unsubstantiated or false claims.
