Articles 27th Jan 2026
Our Partner Supreme Kothari and Associate Aditi Singh have co-authored an article titled โ๐๐ฆ ๐ญ๐ต๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ต:๐ฎ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ฑ โ ๐๐บ๐ฝ๐น๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป๐ ๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ถ๐ฎโ๐ ๐๐ถ๐ฎ๐บ๐ผ๐ป๐ฑ ๐๐ป๐ฑ๐๐๐๐ฟ๐โ, published on Lexology, analysing the newly notified Indian Standard IS 19469:2025.
The article unpacks the standardโs consumer-centric approach, which restricts the use of the term โdiamondโ exclusively to natural diamonds and mandates clear labelling of human-made stones as โlaboratory-grownโ or โlaboratory-created,โ effectively discouraging the use of โsynthetic diamondโ in consumer-facing communications. It also examines the narrow exception permitting such terminology in cross-border trade documentation where required under foreign law, and considers how these labelling norms may be enforced under the BIS Act, 2016.
