Indore: The Panna diamonds in Madhya Pradesh, which are famous for their gem quality in the country and the world, are now preparing to enter the market with a brand logo. These diamonds, which are known for their special shine all over the world, may soon get the Geographical Indication (GI) tag.
One of its other remarkable features is that it includes a very weak carbon line. This unique trait makes the process of carving and making the etching much easier compared to other diamonds coming from other places. Additionally, Panna diamonds possess both a high density and an unmistakable brilliance, offering their value and desirability in the domestic as well as international markets.
Local mining officials said the Centre was closely reviewing the proposal and would break down a comprehensive examination report. The point-wise information about the eligibility and specific attributes that have to be included for GI certification will be a part of this report. The GI tag could be awarded within six to eight months if the authorities at the centre are happy with responses and documentation given.
Earlier on Tuesday, the Intellectual Property India Office in Chennai has sought information related to the geographical area, production, number of producers and characteristics of diamonds from the mining department as per the procedure. The District Mineral Office Panna has sent this information, while the designs will be sent in a day or two.
The application for GI tag was made in the year 2023. The remaining formalities for GI tag are expected to be completed by August. After getting the tag, Panna diamonds will be able to be sold with their unique identity with ‘brand logo’ in the country and abroad.
Collector Suresh Kumar said that the GI tag will give legal recognition to Panna diamonds. No other region will be able to use the name of Panna. The brand value of diamonds will increase and buyers will get certified diamonds from a reliable source. Panna diamonds have a light green color and clear carbon lines, which makes them special in terms of cutting and shine.
