A synthetics manufacturer has partnered with Warren Buffett-owned jewelry retailer Borsheims to unveil what it claimed was the largest pink lab-grown diamond in the world.

ALTR Created Diamonds unveiled the Asscher-cut, 3.99-carat, fancy orangey-pink, VS2-clarity stone last week to mark the start of the 2018 Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Weekend, an annual gathering for investors in Buffett’s businesses. The diamond went on sale on Friday at Borsheims’s Omaha store, alongside several 1- to 3-carat pink synthetic diamonds, ALTR said.

We couldn’t be more excited to bring our unique brand of created diamonds to such an American institution, and thrilled to present the world’s largest pink created diamond during this year’s Berkshire Hathaway Shareholders Weekend,” said Amish Shah, president of R.A. Riam Group, which owns ALTR.
