DiamondView

DiamondView

DiamondView is a desktop diamond verification instrument for loose and some mounted stones, designed to authenticate diamonds and synthetic diamonds. DiamondView is manually operated and requires an operator to interpret the test results.

It is typically used as a means of examining referral diamonds, but the instrument can be used as a stand-alone instrument as well.

Automated Results: No
Automated Dispense: No
Detect or Refer (Synthetic Diamonds): Detect
Detect or Refer (Diamond Simulants): N/A

The determination of stone type is made by the operator based on an interpretation of the DiamondView image. The following results can be concluded:

  1. Diamond
  2. Synthetic diamond

An experienced user can judge whether the stone under test is a natural or synthetic diamond, however in rare instances additional measurements may need to be used for a conclusive determination. DiamondView comes with additional filters to aid with interpretation of blue fluorescing CVD synthetics.
