De Beers’ International Institute of Diamond Grading & Research (IIDGR) has announced the establishment of a polished diamond grading partnership with Hong Kong-based Lukfook Jewellery, Gem Konnect reports. The grading partnership is “De Beers’ first with a vertically-integrated Sightholder”, according to the report.
IIDGR will supply co-branded polished diamond grading reports to Lukfook customers, using De Beers’ “ideal optical symmetry technology, which provides a magnified image of the light performance pattern of each diamond, offering customers enhanced information about their diamond”.
The programme launches in Hong Kong and Macau later this week, “with the potential to expand to other areas in the greater China region”, as per the report.
