Adamas One, an early-stage producer of lab-grown diamonds for jewelry and industrial uses, added additional insider selling for its upcoming IPO on Tuesday.
The Scottsdale, AZ-based company now plans to raise $26 million by offering 5.4 million shares (41% secondary) at a price range of $4.50 to $5.00.
