Gemprint Goes Major League! Bought By Collectors Universe.
Collectors Universe today bought the Gemprint company (www.gemprint.com). Gemprinting a diamond is a patented technology for the non-invasive diamond identification that works by digitally capturing the unique refractive light pattern (or "gemprint") of each diamond.
An increasing number of consumers are having their diamonds gemprinted to insure against loss or theft.

The Gemprint patented technology is based on (i) the digital capture of the unique refractive light pattern for each diamond (the diamond's "fingerprint" or "gemprint") (ii) the database storage of such digital images, and (iii) the inquiry, matching and verification of a requested diamond's digital light refraction pattern to the registered database of diamonds. The current technology has been in use by Gemprint for nine years and during the
12 months ended on October 31, 2005, Gemprint has added digital "fingerprint"
images for over 30,000 diamonds to its database of unique digital images of
the refractive light patterns of individual diamonds. The aggregate number of
diamonds registered in the Gemprint database is now in excess of 500,000
diamonds.
Gemprints are admissable as evidence in Courts of Law and are made accessible to Law Enforcement Agencies worldwide.
Your Gemprinted diamond receives a 10% discount from your Insurance company. The fee to do the Gemprint ranges from $25-$75.00, depending on the dealer, which is a very modest amount to pay for added protection on a very big and important purchase.
We have been offering the Gemprint service to our customers for the past three years and believe that it provides excellent protection and reliable/veriable identification for your diamonds.
Use it.
