Hong Kong, SAR, China:
June 11, 2012 - A Hong
Kong-based firm, Diamond Services Ltd.(www.diamondservices.com.hk), is to release a
low-cost and highly accurate device for the screening and separation of
synthetic diamonds from natural diamonds. The device, a pen-shaped pointer
called the DiamaPen will be introduced at this month's Hong Kong Gem &
Jewellery Fair. It will be offered to diamond traders who need an affordable and
reliable tool to detect and separate synthetic diamonds, both HPHT and CVD grown
diamonds, from their natural counterparts. The introductory offer of the device
is US $199.
The DiamaPen employs the
405 nm wavelength for the operation of its laser beam. J. Kuzi, owner and CEO of
EGL Asia who tested the DiamaPen, said that due to the high-power output of the
laser beam, anyone handling the laser pen will need to wear special safety
glasses.
"We have conducted a
series of tests both on synthetic diamonds produced by means of the classic HPHT
methods, as well as on CVD diamonds produced by Gemesis," Kuzi said "The
detection of fancy yellow synthetics is the easiest and fastest job for the
DiamaPen. The procedure takes a bit longer for colorless CVD synthetics, but in
all cases the testing results are consistent and highly satisfactory. While this
new device is not a replacement for a full-scale identification run in a
gemological laboratory, it is and will be an important tool for those working in
the diamond industry and trade," Kuzi concluded.
To view the DiamaPen,
please call for an appointment at 852-2536-4555 or send email to info@diamondservices.com.hk The June Hong Kong Gem
and Jewellery Fair takes place from June 21 to 24, 2012, at the Hong Kong
Convention Centre, Wanchai, Hong Kong.
