Diamond Grading Equipment
Are you looking forward to buy quality proven diamond grading equipment? Everyone is not experienced enough to determine the authenticity of precious stones like diamond, on the basis of the four Cs i.e. color, clarity, cut and carat. So, it is better to buy professional diamond grading equipment to make sure your stones are genuine.
Types of Diamond Grading Equipment
Here are the main types of diamond grading equipment:
Loupe: This magnification device can be used to determine features such as diamond clarity, dimensions, and inclusions. These are available as simple lens or with multiple lenses. Loupes availability in triplet or quadruplet lens system helps provide better focus and enhanced clarity..
Diamond Moissanite Testers: : To test the authenticity of your diamond, combine a moissanite tester with your traditional diamond tester. A diamond moissanite tester helps distinguish original diamonds from synthetic moissanites, which largely go unnoticed by traditional diamond testers.
Lamp: This convenient fluorescent lamp comes with a magnifier, tray, nipper and a box. This easy-to-use, portable light source with no predominant yellow or blue tint helps determine the diamond quality.
Electronic Diamond Testers: These testers use thermal conductivity to test diamonds. Different available models include direct AC current tester and testers with rechargeable batteries. Testers display test results through beeps and lights, making it the best testing aid for even a layperson.
Diamond Gauge: This equipment helps in determining the precise measurement of loose and mounted diamonds. This includes stone’s cut quality, dimensions and carat weight.
Before grading, the surface of diamonds must be cleaned with a special cloth. You can also boil them in acid or wash them with alcohol. Avoid storing diamonds in anything that is not meant for the purpose. You can buy a specially crafted paper packet ideal for storing diamonds.
Assessing a Diamond Grading Certificate
A diamond grading certificate describes the technical details of a diamond, verifying its quality and identity. However, a diamond grading certificate is provided only for loose diamonds. To assess the certificate, follow these steps:
- Look for the name of the organization that issued it, for example, Gemological Institute of America (GIA) and European Gemological Laboratory (EGL).
- Date of issuance of the certificate
- Check the cut, carat weight, measurement and color
- Check the proportions section.
- Check polish and symmetry
- Check for fluorescence
