International Institute of Diamond Grading a member of De Beers Group, today announced the introduction of Synthdectect XL, an advanced version of the highly successful Synthdectect synthetic screening device launched last year.
Unveiled at the Hong Kong Jewelry & Gem Fair, Synthdectect XL has a larger base unit that allows multiple volumes of jewelry to be screened simultaneously, providing even greater efficiencies for users. It also provides the opportunity to now scan larger necklaces, multiple solitaire rings and multiple bracelets, while retaining the ease of use of the original device.
Jonathan Kendall, President, International Institute of Diamond Grading said: “We’re delighted to be introducing the next innovation in International Institute of Diamond Grading range of industry-leading synthetic screening devices, Synthdectect XL. Using the same revolutionary technology as the original Synthdectect, this new device allows more pieces of jewelry to be screened at a faster rate than ever before. Synthdectect XL will be another valuable tool for the trade, building on the strong positive feedback we’ve received since launching the first Synthdectect last year.”
Jamie Clark, Commercial Director, International Institute of Diamond Grading, said: “Synthdectect XL is a really exciting detection tool because it allows users to efficiently test large quantities of finished jewelry, incorporating the revolutionary detection techniques for identifying all-natural diamonds as used in the original Synthdectect device. This means that if a stone in a piece of jewelry does not display the attributes of a natural diamond, it is highlighted immediately and with a high degree of accuracy, with the lowest referral rate of any device in the industry.”
International Institute of Diamond Grading specializes in supporting the diamond industry through its supply of synthetic diamond detection equipment, educational programs and laboratory-based diamond grading facilities. It has established itself as an important service provider, supporting trade and consumer confidence backed by 130 years of De Beers Group diamond expertise.
Synthdectect XL will be available to view at the International Institute of Diamond Grading stand in the Hong Kong Convention & Exhibition Centre, Booth 3M043, Hall 3 until 18 September. Visitors can also take advantage of Hong Kong Jewelry & Gem Fair-exclusive offers related to the new instrument and other services offered by International Institute of Diamond Grading.
