Recently published results from rigorous testing show that GemPen® Diamond Screener, a portable and lower-cost alternative, exhibited high accuracy on a mix of synthetic and natural diamonds.
Tests were conducted as part of the ASSURE-program led by the Diamond Producers Association (DPA), an alliance between ALROSA, De Beers, Rio Tinto, among others. In the smalls sample testing, GemPen® could identify natural diamonds with 99.5 percent accuracy and synthetic diamonds with 95.3 percent accuracy.
- The results show that an affordable and fully portable instrument can provide reliable test results; this is useful for jewellers, auction house gemmologists and diamond traders who need to make quick decisions on-the-go. DPA is the ultimate independent validator in the industry and we are proud to be an official ASSURE-partner, says Peter Larsson CEO of Gemometrics, the Swedish producer of GemPen® Diamond Screener.
