Rupesh Jain

Founder of Lucira

At Lucira, we believe that the fusion of technology and sustainability is redefining the future of luxury. Lab grown diamonds are a powerful example of how innovation can transform an industry so traditionally seen as labour-intensive. By replicating nature’s process through cutting-edge science, we create diamonds that are physically, chemically and optically identical to mined diamonds—but with a fraction of the environmental impact.

Our CVD manufacturing process allows us to grow diamonds with remarkable precision, lower energy use and minimal waste. CVD uses lower temperatures and pressures allowing greater control over the growth process producing stones that are clearer and more colorless. As India advances towards a greener future, we’re proud to stand at the intersection of tradition and technology, proving that beauty can - and should - be built responsibly. We remain committed to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through continuous innovation, ensuring that every Lucira diamond is a step toward a greener, more transparent world.
