The Dharmanandan Research Centre (DRC Techno) has launched the J-Secure – promising to be the first instrument of its kind to identify lab-grown synthetic diamonds in jewelry set with stones, and to perform effectively with practically all sizes and shapes of diamonds, IDEX Online reports.
It can detect lab-grown synthetics, produced by both CVD and HPHT methods, from 0.003 carats set in all types of jewelry. Dharmanandan said the J-Secure is the latest stage in its battle against undisclosed synthetics suspected of being set in jewelry, and to protect the pipeline from undisclosed synthetics.
The diamond manufacturer said the final checkpoint for screening for such stones is in jewelry, and if each piece of jewelry is scanned before being sent to retailers and before reaching consumers, then the chances of it reaching consumers are negligible.
