Largest lab-grown diamond ring in the world for sale at Austin private jeweler

AUSTIN - An Austin private jeweler is selling the largest lab-grown diamond ring in the world "I figured if there's a buyer for it, it's in Austin 'cause the technology has Austin written all over it," said Matt O'Desky, owner and founder of The Diamond Room "These seeds are put into a reactor and using high pressure and high temperature, the diamond crystal grows" The ring is described by O'Desky as having a delicate a halo setting with diamond split shank, but his vision for whoever buys the piece is a bit different.

"I'm actually hoping someone wants to come in, buy the diamond and we will custom design a setting for it," he said, adding he can make a necklace or bracelet as well The price of the ring is $132,000 as is, and he also has a not-as-large pear-shaped lab-grown diamond ring at $80,000 O'Desky said a ring with a mined diamond comparable to the more than 15-carat one would cost well over half a million, depending on who is selling it.
