How Accurate is Diamond Testing Equipment?

As the discussion around lab grown diamonds continues, it's important that those involved in selling diamonds are aware of their options when it comes to confirming the authenticity of their stones.

There are many pieces of technology available, and more that continue to be introduced, that test to see if a diamond is natural or requires further investigation.

However, these pieces of equipment can all vary when it comes to their accuracy levels.  This is not generally understood, so it is great to be able to review the technology prior to use, helping you decide which equipment you would be comfortable in using.  The Natural Diamond Council run a programme called the Assure Testing Program, a testing regime for Diamond Verification Instruments.  This gives reliable, third party approved insights that will support any purchasing decisions.  To access this information visit Assure Diamond Verification Instrument Testing Information (naturaldiamonds.com) to read more.
