DiamondSure™

DiamondSure™ is an easy and convenient way to determine whether a polished stone is a natural diamond or needs further analysis to ascertain its identity. Simply, place polished stones, table down, on a measurement probe and the visible absorption spectrum is measured and analyzed. Results are displayed in just seconds. What's more, DiamondSure™ can be used on both mounted and unmounted stones from .10 to 10 carats.

With DiamondSure™, only 2% of natural diamonds required further testing. In a matter of seconds, DiamondSure™ verifies type II diamonds, identifies all synthetics for further testing, including heat treated synthetics exhibiting the N3 absorption line, and determines synthetic moissanite.

Complete package includes: One DiamondSure™, external power supply, IEC main supply lead, spare lamps, cotton gloves, mercury calibration lamp, diamond cloth, and special tweezers. A custom carrying case is also included.

DiamondView™

*DiamondView™ is a perfect complement to DiamondSure™. Questionable diamonds that require testing beyond the capability of DiamonSure™ can be analyzed and identified with DiamondView™.

DiamondView™ works by producing a fluorescence image of a diamond. Specifically, DiamondView™ uses a camera to display the fluorescence pattern created on the surface of a diamond after it has been exposed to shortwave UV light. Given that the fluorescence colors and patterns from synthetic diamonds differ greatly from those of natural diamonds, DiamondView™ makes it possible for gemological laboratories and jewelry professionals to determine whether a diamond is natural or synthetic. In addition, by obtaining a phosphorescence image, DiamondView™ also makes it possible to detect whether type II diamonds could be near colorless synthetics.

Many researchers and gemologists world-wide have utilized the DiamondView™ imaging capabilities for many other applications in diamond and colored stone identification.
