Grown by the Sun: Lukson Builds India's Sustainability Benchmark for Lab Grown Diamonds with a Fully Solar Powered Manufacturing Facility

21-08-2026 12:45 PM

As India's lab grown diamond market accelerates, most brands in the category lean on a single claim, that a diamond grown in a lab is kinder to the planet than one pulled out of it. Lukson, the vertically integrated lab grown diamond jewellery brand from the JK Star Group, is going several steps further, backing that claim at the infrastructure level with one of the few fully solar powered diamond growing operations in the country.

At the heart of this story is the Group's CVD diamond growing facility in Surat, Gujarat, operated under AVP Star, the JK Star Group's lab grown diamond manufacturing arm. The facility runs entirely on solar power drawn from the Group's dedicated solar plant in Navsari, Gujarat, and houses 500 CVD reactors, where every Lukson diamond begins its journey as a tiny seed. From growing and coring to slicing, laser processing, cutting, polishing and grading, every stage is handled in house, giving the brand an unbroken chain of quality control and traceability that few players in the category can match.
