DiamondSure™

The new lighter and compact DiamondSure™ is an easy, quick and convenient screening instrument that is designed to discriminate a polished natural diamond from synthetic diamond and simulants. Mounted stones can now be tested with the new hand-held fiber-optic probe. For unmounted stones a measurement is made by simply placing the stone table down on the fiber-optic probe in the center of the sample dish. A new auto detect function automatically senses the presence of a stone near the fiber-optic probe and takes a measurement without the need to press the test key. It is ideal for high volume rapid testing of small loose stones and mounted stones. All results are displayed in just seconds.

  • Easily test both unmounted and mounted stones from 10 points to 10 carats
  • Approximately 2% of diamonds such as Type II and Type IaB are referred for further testing along with all simulants and synthetics
  • Detects heat-treated synthetics that exhibit the N3 absorption system
  • Detects synthetic moissanite
  • Universal 100V-240V for global electrical compatibility

  • DiamondSure instrument
  • External power supply
  • IEC main supply lead
  • Spare lamps
  • Cotton gloves

The new DiamondSure offers the following advantages over previous versions:

  • An attractive, lighter, and more compact unit and carry case
  • Hand-held fiber-optic probe with retractable cable for testing mounted stones
  • Auto-detect function automatically takes a measurement without pressing the test key
  • Measurements may be made under normal external ambient light conditions
  • Detachable sample dish for loading and unloading parcels of small stones

DiamondView™

*DiamondView™ is a perfect complement to DiamondSure™. Questionable diamonds that require testing beyond the capability of DiamondSure can be analysed 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 colours and patterns from synthetic diamonds differ greatly from those of natural diamonds, DiamondView makes it possible for gemmological laboratories and jewellery 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 colourless synthetics.

Many researchers and gemmologists worldwide have utilized the DiamondView imaging capabilities for many other applications in diamond and colored stone identification.
