IGI is partnering with Virtual Diamond Boutique (VDB) on an auction of lab grown diamonds and jewelry to benefit Jewelers For Children (JFC). The auction begins August 16, prior to the JCK Las Vegas show and concludes Sunday August 29, the night of the Facets of Hope Dinner at The Venetian Las Vegas. We are accepting product or cash donations and encourage you to join us in this important mission, using lab-grown diamonds as a force for good.
Who Benefits?
Since 1999 JFC has donated over $57 million to charity partners Make-A-Wish® America, Make-A-Wish® International, the National CASA Association, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital®, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, the Organization for Autism Research, the Santa America Fund and others, to the benefit of children who are victims of catastrophic illness or life-threatening abuse and neglect.
Donors Receive Recognition
- IGI and VDB will promote the auction before, during and after the event via all social media channels, web banners, mobile apps, newsletter articles, press releases and email campaigns.

Generous donors will also receive event tickets and journal page advertising space commensurate with their level of donation.
