Diamonds of Tomorrow: Adamas One Corp. (NASDAQ: JEWL) and the Lab-Grown Evolution

Adamas One Corp. (JEWL)

In the realm of luxury, few items hold as much allure and fascination as natural diamonds. Yet, beneath their shimmering surface lies a shadow of environmental concerns and sustainability issues. With the global demand for diamonds soaring to unprecedented levels, questions about their ecological footprint have begun to loom large. However, amidst this burgeoning awareness, a compelling alternative has emerged: lab-grown diamonds. Offering a sustainable and environmentally-friendly alternative to their mined counterparts, lab-grown diamonds have witnessed a meteoric rise in popularity among consumers. The market for lab-grown diamonds is on an upward trajectory, fueled by increasing adoption in the fashion, jewelry, and industrial sectors. According to a report by Allied Market Research, the global lab-grown diamonds market was valued at $24.0 billion in 2022 and is projected to reach a staggering $59.2 billion by 2032, boasting a robust compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.6%. Enter Adamas One Corp. (NASDAQ: JEWL), a key player in the evolving landscape of the diamond industry. Positioned amidst a shift towards sustainability, Adamas One Corp. is at the forefront of pioneering greener practices in diamond production. In January of last year, Adamas One unveiled its financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2022. The company's revenue milestone, exceeding $1.78 million in lab-grown diamond sales, marked a pivotal shift from research and development to commercial production. CEO Jay Grdina's strategic vision emphasized the importance of reaching full manufacturing capacity at the Greenville, S.C., facility by May 2023, laying the foundation for sustained growth. Scaling for Growth Throughout last year, Adamas One focused on scaling its production capabilities to meet growing demand. By March 2023, the company had achieved full production capacity at its South Carolina facility, boasting 12 reactors producing approximately 3,000 rough carats of diamonds monthly. This achievement positioned Adamas One Corp. as a leading player in the lab-grown diamond market, poised to generate over $12 million in annual revenue from its Greenville operations. November 2023 marked a significant milestone for JEWL with the successful creation of colorless lab-grown diamonds in the D, E, and F color ranges. This breakthrough, resulting from extensive internal R&D efforts, underscored the company's commitment to quality and innovation. CEO Jay Grdina's strategic roadmap highlighted the strategic importance of this development, particularly in meeting the stringent demands of the jewelry and technology sectors. A transformative moment for JEWL occurred in November 2023 with the establishment of Adamas Technologies, a wholly-owned subsidiary dedicated to harnessing lab-grown diamond solutions for the technology industry. Led by seasoned industry professionals, including COO Jerry McGuire, Adamas Technologies positioned itself at the forefront of semiconductor innovation. The subsidiary's focus on research, partnerships, and deployment underscored Adamas One Corp.'s commitment to diversification and market expansion. Setting the Stage for Growth Just last month, JEWL reaffirmed its strategic initiatives and market penetration efforts through a comprehensive shareholder update. The company's multifaceted approach encompassed delivering high-quality lab-grown diamond materials, launching the Elle Jolie luxury jewelry line, and leveraging its IP and R&D capabilities to explore new sectors, notably the technology industry. CEO Jay Grdina's forward-looking vision emphasized the company's commitment to sustainable growth and value creation for shareholders. More recently, March 2024 brought accolades for Adamas One Corp. as it received the prestigious title of "Best Lab-Grown Manufacturer for 2023" from Manufacturing Technology Insights Magazine. This recognition underscored the company's unwavering dedication to innovation and excellence in lab-grown diamond manufacturing, reinforcing its position as an industry leader. Charting the Future In a strategic move to accelerate innovation, Adamas One Corp. (NASDAQ: JEWL) today announced the formation of a Board of Advisors for its subsidiary, Adamas One Technologies. Comprising esteemed industry experts, the board will provide invaluable guidance as Adamas One Technologies explores novel applications for lab-grown diamonds in the semiconductor industry. This initiative reflects the company's commitment to fostering collaboration and driving technological advancements. “We are honored to have such distinguished industry experts join the Board of Advisors for Adamas One Technologies," stated Jerry McGuire, COO of Adamas One Corp and newly appointed board member. "Their collective wealth of experience and expertise will undoubtedly propel Adamas One Technologies to new heights as we explore the vast potential of lab-grown diamonds in semiconductor applications. I am excited to collaborate with this esteemed group as we drive innovation and shape the future of technology." As Adamas One Corp. (NASDAQ: JEWL) continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the lab-grown diamond industry, investors can expect continued growth and market leadership.

An Inherited Condition Could be the Cause of Your Early Heart Disease or Stroke, But Your Doctor is Probably Not Testing for It

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Y_mu9ZpIO88 Heart disease is still the single biggest threat to American health today. Family Heart Foundation research shows that less than 5% of Americans are being screened for the most common, life-threatening genetic condition that causes early strokes and heart attacks – elevated Lipoprotein(a) or Lp(a) for short. Elevated lipoprotein(a) is the most common genetic cause of early heart disease and stroke. One in 5 people worldwide have inherited high Lp(a), and most don’t know it. You inherit your Lp(a) level from your parents. Because elevated Lp(a) isn’t screened for, the first sign of this condition may be a stroke or a heart attack. Elevated levels of Lp(a) increases the risk of blood clotting and plaque buildup inside the blood vessels, which can block the flow of blood and oxygen to your heart and brain. Compared to the general population, people with elevated Lp(a) have 2-3 times the risk for a heart attack and stroke at a young age. The higher your Lp(a), the higher your risk. Lp(a) is not measured in the standard cholesterol panel. It’s important to understand if you have elevated Lp(a). Multiple therapies are in development but in the meantime, there are things you can do to manage your other cardiovascular risk factors, such as keeping your LDL cholesterol levels very low. The Family Heart Foundation can help you find a healthcare provider near you and connect you to others living with elevated Lp(a). The Family Heart Foundation is the only patient-centered, research and advocacy organization focused on addressing the lack of screening and care for people born and living with this common life-threatening condition. On March 20 th a nationwide media tour was conducted featuring Dr. Amit Khera, Professor and Director of Preventive Cardiology UT Southwestern Medical Center and Misty Votaw. Topics they discussed included: Who should have their Lp(a) measured and when. Misty’s story and how the Family Heart Foundation provided resources. If you have elevated Lp(a), what can you do to reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. What the Family Heart Foundation is doing to address gaps in care for 60 million Americans at risk. For more information and to find out if you have elevated Lp(a), contact the Family Heart Foundation’s Care Navigation team at FindLpa.org.
