Diamond Foundry was founded with the goal of reinventing the $100B diamond industry from “mine to finger” by setting a new standard for social and environmental good.

The founding team of M.I.T., Stanford, and Princeton engineers previously developed pioneering breakthroughs in solar power technology – and had a hunch that techniques used to harness the energy of the sun could also be used to make a better diamond, atom by atom.
