Kira Jewels Expands Lab-Grown Diamond Production
The manufacturer is adding 1,400 chemical vapor deposition (CVD) reactors to its growing facility in India.
Kira Jewels currently produces 250,000 polished carats of lab-grown diamonds each month at its 1 million square-foot, solar-powered facility.
New York—Kira Jewels, an India-based lab-grown diamond provider that manufacturers its gemstones using chemical vapor deposition (CVD), has announced it is expanding its production capacity.
The company is adding 1,400 CVD reactors to its diamond-growing facility, bringing the total of reactors to 4,000.
The expansion will allow the manufacturer to make more than 325,000 polished carats a month, up from the 250,000 carats a month it currently produces.
To support this, the 1 million square-foot, solar-powered facility will increase its power from 75 megawatts of installed solar energy to 150 megawatts.
The facility is also SMETA and SEDEX certified, marking Kira Jewels’ commitment to ethical and sustainable practices, it said.
Kira Jewels currently employs more than 8,000 artisans.
The company, founded in 2023 and belonging to the family that owns natural-diamond provider Kiran Gems, said the decision to expand came from three key factors—heritage of expertise, customer trust, and growth and demand.
Kira Jewels said it has seen rising demand from new and existing customers for larger and specialty stones, fueling its need for expanded production.
“At Kira, we’re not just shaping the future of lab-grown diamonds, we’re working to make that future accessible to everyone,” said Mehul Vaghani, founder and CEO of Kira Jewels.
“As the industry grows, what sets us apart is our commitment to keeping a reliable, certified inventory available at scale. This expansion is more than growth—it’s about building trust, leading responsibly, and ensuring the brilliance of lab-grown diamonds can be enjoyed worldwide.”

Of these, 150,000 are available for next-day delivery from its New York office, it said.
“We stay agile and closely track market shifts, using insights from our diverse customer base to anticipate demand and stock accordingly,” said Vaghani.
“Right now, we’re seeing strong momentum in elongated fancy shapes in the 3 to 6 carat range. Our goal is to grow alongside our customers and be the resource serving every segment of the industry with precision and reliability.”
Customers can search and select from Kira Jewels’ large offering of lab-grown diamonds on its web portal and mobile app, which can be downloaded from the Google Play or Apple App Store.
Its platform also provides data and insights beyond the 4Cs to help wholesalers and jewelers buy with confidence, it said.
