| Excelling Where It Counts |
 |
|
|
Lotus’s many years of involvement in manufacturing and selling
both natural color gemstones and white diamonds has given us the edge
in the colored diamond industry. The global scope of our operation
and the use of specialists for every task ensures a professional and
systematic approach to our business. And it means we excel where it
counts the most:
|
|
| Assured
Product Safety |
Our enhancement process and the diamonds that emerge from it are
absolutely safe - and since we only distribute the diamonds we enhance
ourselves, we can assure safety of all our products to our customers.
Lotus uses only
the most advanced and safest electron-based
method of irradiation, which results in no residual
radiation. The term irradiation refers to causing change in the atomic
structure of a substance, in this case, the diamond, and it does
not imply resulting radioactivity. For example, certain food
products on the market today have been irradiated. These foods have
been altered, but they’re perfectly safe to consume.
We do all our enhancements in strict accordance with US safety standards,
the highest in the world today. After enhancement, we always check
the safety of our stones with an in-house Geiger
counter. We also follow a strict policy of
distributing only the diamonds we enhance ourselves. We never
buy color-enhanced diamonds from any outside source. |

| A
Variety of Selection |
We carry a large variety of colors, sizes and shapes at different
price points. We pride ourselves at being a one-stop shop to meet
all your colored diamond needs.
Colors: Lotus diamonds come in various shades of blue, green, yellow,
pink, purple, cognac, red and black.
Sizes:
We carry sizes ranging from 0.005 carat to 3 carat, with certain colors
available in sizes up to 4-5 carats.
Cuts:
We carry all colors in round brilliant cuts and blue, green and yellow
in princes cuts. Other fancy shapes are also available in blue, green
& yellow in larger sizes.
Price
Points: We assort the stones of each color, size and cut by
quality to meet different price points. This means we can always provide
a range of diamonds, from inexpensive varieties to specialty high-priced
items.
Certified Colored Diamonds:
We are among the few companies to have started certifying colored
enhanced diamonds using established gem labs globally. This helps
package our product well and assure consumers about the safety and
quality of our product.

| Consistent
Supply |
Our diamonds are consistently produced, stocked and distributed
in a wide range of colors, shapes, sizes and price points so you can
free your imagination in designing and never worry if the particular
diamond you want is available.
Due to our longstanding relationships with globally based diamond
cutters, we are always able to procure a steady and timely supply
of diamonds – assuring the same consistency and timeliness of
supply to our customers.
We always carry large assorted inventories of our diamonds, so you
don’t have to. We urge you as our clients to buy only what you
need and stock only small inventories of replacement stones. We usually
stock those items that we can manufacture repeatedly and consistently,
so you can always order the exact sizes, colors and cuts you want
- in the quantities you need. |

|
| Competitive
Prices |
Our economies of scale, state-of-the-art technology, efficient manufacturing
process, and bulk buying of raw materials allow our products to be
very competitively priced.
Buying
from the Source:
We source most of our nearly colorless diamonds directly from our
Mumbai office, buying them in bulk, and taking advantage of the best
prices available. We also travel to Belgium and Israel to find additional
sources for our diamonds.
Experienced,
Efficient Manufacturing:
Many years of experience, along with our trained staff and ongoing
research helps us maintain a high success rate of production and avoid
manufacturing stones in murky or otherwise unsellable colors, or damage
our stones during enhancement. We always strive to use the least expensive
raw materials to produce the best color results using state-of-the-art
technology.
Selling on a Global
Scale:
Our global offices do not cater to only one market, and if particular
items do not sell as well in one branch, we can sell it at another,
allowing us a quicker turnover of stock and greater flexibility. With
our economies of scale, we can keep the costs down, and pass the savings
on to you. |

|
| Standardized
Grading |
You can easily buy a diamond in a particular color, shade, clarity
and cut once. But can your dealer offer you a diamond with those exact
specifications a second time? Or a third tim? If it’s not Lotus,
don’t count on it.
Our use of a standardized system to grade our diamonds means that
each diamond you buy from us has been carefully categorized, and further
stock of that specific type of diamond either exists or can be created.
If you feature any of our diamonds in your product line, Lotus
will be able to restock those very stones consistently according to
your needs.
We have staff specializing only in grading our diamonds, and every
diamond in each of our global offices has been graded according to
one uniform standard. |

| Achievements
in Research |
Lotus is dedicated to the ongoing research
into the color enhancement of diamonds. We frequently adjust the enhancement
process in order to achieve the best color results – and we
are determined to produce the best color quality in our diamonds consistently
and economically.
The key part of the enhancement process is deciding which stones are
best suited for which color – and which are most economical
to use while achieving the desired quality. This is where Lotus’s
long experience and insight – as well as our ongoing research
– has translated into producing stones with maximum knowledge
and efficiency.
While some colors are easily duplicated using enhancement, purples
and pink are hard to replicate consistently. A measure of our success
is that Lotus was among the first companies
to manufacture purple and pink diamonds in commercial quantities,
and to date we have one of the largest quantities of those diamonds
in stock. |

| Marketing
& Education |
Lotus offers our clients discounted
samplers and memorandum programs, and we provide important information
on selling and product presentation.
We firmly believe that proper understanding of our product is vital
for its successful sale.
We regularly donate our diamonds or sell them at a discount to gemological
institutes worldwide, contribute articles
to trade publications, and use trade shows, advertising and meetings
with clients to promote the value of colored diamonds – and
encourage safety and integrity in the trade. For instance, we highlight
the availability of affordable Geiger counters to check the safety
of the gemstones.
This website is another part of this effort. It is not only geared
to increase the sales of our product, but intended to provide, first
and foremost, accurate and complete information to all our readers. |
