Diamond Technology On The March!
The last several years have seen amazing progress and advances made in the evaluation of diamond characteristics and performance.
Cut quality and light performance of polished diamonds can be assessed and measured by machines such as the Megascope and the Brilliancescope. This has revolutionized the way Diamonds are marketed and purchased by consumers.
Another tremendous advance in diamond technology was announced this week by OGISystems, which will be a tremendous boon for Rough diamond dealers. In cooperation with Zvi Yehuda, who is the leading Israeli Color machines developer, these two companies introduced a new Colorimeter that will color predict white to yellow (D to K) and (Fancy yellow) rough diamonds at about + ½ color grade accuracy.

It will also scan and detect for brown hues in the color range D-F, give a computerized indication of both the yellow fluorescence (which indicates cloudiness in the stone), and the blue fluorescence. This new model detects fancy yellow in the following groups: No fancy, Light fancy yellow, Fancy, Intense fancy and Vivid fancy.
This system is fully automated system is a tremendous advancement and eliminates the considerable guesswork in accurately determining color in diamond rough.
Diamond rough has a light "skin" and therefore accurately determining color is often dependent on experience. Having a machine grade color eliminates the guesswork.
Ogitech technolgies is already credited with developing specialized diamond technologies including sophisticated laser technologies for inscribing and marking, both rough and polished diamonds.
