Pure Grown Diamonds
Pure Grown Diamonds was incorporated in April 2013 as Gemesis Inc.[1] The company was incorporated as a retailer of lab grown diamonds[2] to the American market. It is currently a trading company that wholesales lab grown diamonds to the North American diamond and jewelry retailers.[3][4]
In June 2014, Gemesis Inc. re-branded itself as "Pure Grown Diamonds".[5][6]
The website that was used as a retail platform was acquired from a company called Gemesis Diamond Company (GDC) whose primary business was growing diamonds. After the website acquisition, Gemesis Inc. reportedly appointed senior diamond professionals to man the company[7] and then reorganized Gemesis Inc. under the brand name Pure Grown Diamonds.[6]
