Israel-based diamond tech company Sarine and Swiss-based GGTL Laboratories have signed a collaboration agreement “to research new approaches to diamond grading and authentication”, according to a press release.
One of the issues Sarine and GGTL will focus on is the detection of lab grown diamonds of all sizes, as “Sarine and GGTL share in the belief that the use of technology can enable full transparency and disclosure that will benefit all players across the diamond pipeline”, according to Sarine.
Uzi Levami, CEO of Sarine, said: “The authentication of naturally grown diamonds versus diamonds that are lab grown is a complex process that demands extremely high levels of expertise in various knowledge spheres, and is one example of how our collaboration with GGTL will benefit the market. Furthermore, Sarine’s experience in the development of Artificial Intelligence with the use of advanced learning machines such as our automated and objective grading of a polished diamond’s Clarity and Colour […] places us in an ideal position to resolve challenges facing the diamond industry”.
