Lab-Grown Lotus-Shaped Diamonds from Surat and Bengaluru Travel Aboard Vikram-1 Rocket
Surat-based Nityas Gems and Jewellery sent a lotus-shaped design of 32 lab-grown diamonds, weighing 16.95 carats and valued at around Rs 10 lakh, aboard Skyroot Aerospace's Vikram-1, India's first privately developed orbital rocket. The diamonds, mounted on aerospace-grade materials to withstand space conditions, sparkle when sunlight hits the rocket in orbit. Separately, Bengaluru's Cosmos Diamonds collaborated with Skyroot to launch a lotus-shaped diamond called Cosmic Bloom, inspired by a nursery rhyme, marking a cultural milestone in India's private space sector.
