Jun 2022Series BLVMH Luxury Ventures (lead); More Provident Funds (lead); Ragnar (lead)$90M$300MLusix is an Israeli technology-driven producer of lab-grown diamonds (LGDs) founded in 2016 by Benny Landa as a spinoff from Landa Labs. The company manufactures diamonds in the 1- to 5-carat range and markets them under the Sun Grown Diamonds brand, emphasizing 100% solar-powered production to address sustainability concerns in the diamond industry. In June 2022, Lusix completed a $90 million investment round led by LVMH Luxury Ventures alongside Ragnar Crossover Fund, More Investments, and various Israeli provident funds, giving the company a post-money valuation estimated between $300 million and $500 million. The company intended to use the funding to expand production capacity in Israel by building a second solar-powered state-of-the-art facility commencing production in summer 2022 to meet growing global demand for lab-grown diamonds. However, the investment later proved to be a loan rather than equity confidence, and the company faced significant financial difficulties. By late 2023 or 2024, Lusix was acquired jointly by Fenix and Dholakia Lab-Grown Diamonds for $4 million, indicating severe deterioration in the company's fortunes despite the substantial 2022 funding round.
