Plasmability | Clarity Diamond
Austin, Texas
We opened our doors in 2001 to service the semiconductor industry. That eventually led to developing the technology for growing diamonds, and we discovered that with our team of Ph.D.s, engineers and software designers, we could grow a better diamond.
We are committed to producing the most beautiful, largest lab-grown diamonds that can be produced, and we’ll keep innovating and making our diamonds better because that’s what we’ve invested in, and frankly, that’s how we’re wired.
HRA Group
Vancouver, BC, Canada
The HRA Group is a 40-year-old global company spanning the diamond supply chain from trading to manufacturing, finished diamond jewelry to jewelry retail.
Headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, our team takes pride in our ability to challenge ourselves to find new solutions to address the changing needs of our industry and partners. We have a particular interest in and focus on innovation and technology in the diamond industry.
2001
Started service work for the local Austin semiconductor industry.
2006
Received our first patent for a sensor that measured water quality. This new sensor was much more reliable than what had previously been available. Thousands have been sold and are still in service.
2008
We shipped our 100th refurbished semiconductor manufacturing system and were well on the road to developing our product line.
2010
We released our first product, called the Penulator™. The Penulator product family has now been shipped around the world with thousands of satisfied customers and a set of related patents.
2012
We opened a new HQ to accommodate growth, and expanded our service center. We were also starting R&D on CVD diamond growing by that time, investigating how to grow diamonds using several different technologies.
2015
We were awarded our first SBIR (Small Business Innovation Resarch) contract, and over the next few years we formed a partnership with Michigan State's Fraunhofer Center for Coatings and Diamond Technology.
2016
By 2016 we had created a 3rd generation diamond-growing machine, and at that point our development increased rapidly.
2017
Our first patent related to CVD diamond was issued for a novel way to produce material with a toroidal plasma processing system.
2021
Our facility has been populated with a line of highly productive diamond CVD systems, and we are routinely generating material that becomes high-quality gems.
2022
Launch partnership between Plasmability (Clarity Diamond) and HRA Group.
