SYNTHETIC SCREENING DEVICE SHORTLISTED FOR INNOVATION AWARD

De Beers’ International Institute of Diamond Grading & Research (IIDGR) has announced that its synthetic diamond screening device, SYNTHdetect, has been shortlisted as a finalist for Industry Innovation of the Year in this year’s JNA Awards.

 

According to a press release, SYNTHdetect, which was launched last year, “is the first synthetic diamond screening device to simultaneously test multiple stones in set jewellery and has the industry’s lowest referral rate at around 0.05%”. The device thereby significantly increases efficiency and reduces costs for retailers and manufacturers when it comes to ensuring they do not buy any undisclosed synthetic diamonds.

 

The JNA Awards Ceremony and Gala Dinner will be held on September 16 during the Hong Kong Jewellery & Gem Fair.
