Is jewellery set with lab-grown diamonds a fad? Some seem to think so. While others believe that eventually it will be looked at as fashion jewellery.

They may be marketed as a sustainable alternative, which, perhaps, they are. However, stakeholders who are serious about lab-grown diamond jewellery as a category, and wholly believe in its future, seem to think that sustainability is just one small aspect of it. The sheer consistency, turnaround time, the flexibility it allows for innovation when it comes to designs, the remarkable clarity, and, more importantly, affordability, make this category lucrative. It is, hence, garnering demand, slowly, but surely, globally, as well as in India.

Shanay Parekh, the young mind behind Kira Diam's vertically-integrated labgrown diamond facility in Surat, is at the helm of this transformation. His words echo through the halls of his Surat facility, where craftsmanship intertwines with modernity, and where every diamond tells a story.

"We have four to five factories catering to every kind of product," Parekh explains.
"That's why we are able to provide the best finish for any particular piece," he adds.
