The International Institute of Diamond Grading and Research (IIDGR) of the De Beers Group of Companies in the diamond city will start the low cost, high volume melee diamond testing service from October 26.
De Beers has set up its second IIDGR facility in the diamond city after the first such facility set up in Antwerp in Beligum.
The service will provide diamantaires with the opportunity to use IIDGR's leading proprietary technology to verify the natural diamond content of parcels of melee before they are traded. Goods will be returned in sealed, tamper-proof IIDGR packages, with the content of each clearly labelled.
President of IIDGR, Jonathan Kendall said, "This service will play an important role in supporting both trade and consumer confidence. Sellers will be able to provide potential buyers with pre-checked goods in sealed IIDGR packages, removing any potential concerns around disclosure."
Kendall added, " As more and more diamond businesses seek greater levels of assurance about the content of the melee they are purchasing, this service will meet an increasing industry need. As the industry continues to evolve, IIDGR services - whether in synthetic melee detection, diamond verification instrument sales or diamond grading - will continue to support the sector's need for confidence throughout the pipeline."
The service in India will build on the strategic partnership that has been established by IIDGR and the Gemmological Institute of India (GII) to support confidence in the domestic sector.
