DIAMONDS.

Identification & Grading of Diamonds

The recent years have witnessed dramatic changes in the field of gemology such as the development of many new diamond treatments and production of near-colourless lab-grown diamonds.CGL Canadian Gemlab is a specialist in identifying and determining the colour origin (natural, treated, or synthetic) of diamonds. Every diamond is graded by two experienced gemologists using industry-standard instruments.

To keep up with the new gemological changes in the industry, new grading procedures have been introduced at CGL Canadian Gemlab. These include:

• Digital plotting of diamonds on a computer by gemologists to ensure that inclusions are accurately positioned on the final certificate;
• Recording inclusions by means of a new High Definition digital microscope DAZOR HD SpeckFINDER for proper authentication, tracking and appraising of diamonds;
• Grading the colour of diamonds by using Colibri Sarin measuring machine designed to measure colour in conjuction with colour masters to assess final colour grade
