WASHINGTON , May 24, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- WD Lab Grown Diamonds ("WD"), the first diamond company in the world to be third-party sustainability certified and to achieve 100% climate neutrality, has named Australia-based JC Jewels Pty Ltd. ("JC Jewels") their Authorized Distribution Partner in the Australia and New Zealand markets.

"This critical partnership with JC Jewels enables us to further scale WD's footprint in-step with the rapidly expanding global market for lab grown diamonds," said Sue Rechner, CEO of WD Lab Grown Diamonds. "We are pleased to have a partner that shares our commitment to leading with integrity, innovation and a focus on sustainability — their well-earned and trusted reputation in the Australia and New Zealand markets will help fuel our growth in this region."
