Kiran Gems Install First CVD Detection Machine

(IDEX Online News) – Indian diamond manufacturer Kiran Gems has installed its first CVD detection machine in its Mumbai office.

The firm said it bought the machine to “reinforce further the trust of customers in Kiran and its products and free them from any doubts that their customers might have on their products”.

Reports over the past year of synthetic diamonds being mixed in with natural diamonds have caused alarm in the global diamond business.

Managing Director Mavji Patel said, “Trust of customers on our forward value chain partners is very sensitive and of prime importance to us. We would do all to keep that trust. The plan is to implement 100 percent checking of stones leaving and coming back to our premises. This would happen in a short course of time as more detection machines are delivered to our premises.”

Kiran Gems said it is the first company to get and install the machinery in its premises in the Bharat Diamond Bourse, and continues its tradition of being in the vanguard of technology utilization.

The company has 142 production units, in Surat and Ahmedabad, and a workforce of more than 32,000 employees processing over 5.7 million carats of rough to produce 1.6 million carats of polished stones.
