Hong Kong-based Diamond Services has designed the first system that can detect lab-grown yellow diamonds. “To provide as accurate results as possible, we insist that all diamonds being tested to detect the possible presence of synthetically-produced goods be examined at temperatures in a liquid nitrogen atmosphere,” said Joseph Kuzi, Diamond Services’ founder and president, in a media statement. By scanning the stones at the temperature of liquid nitrogen, the Diamond Natural Device can quickly identify imitation, treated or synthetic elements in loose diamonds and those set in jewellery, with no limitation on size. The device is based around a diamond microchip which contains an array of sensors to measure temperature, pressure, humidity and light levels.
