Sarine Technologies will be formally inaugurating its newly branded, advanced and fully automated diamond grading lab – the only   facility based on artificial intelligence (AI) – during the International Diamond Week in Israel (IDWI) being held from January 28 – 30, 2019.

The launch comes on the heels of an initial pilot of the lab facility that commenced  in February 2018. 

“The Sarine lab is offering automated diamond grading reports, based on machine learning and monitored by expert gemmologists, which supplies objective, consistent grading results,” the Company said, making the announcement yesterday. “The Sarine Profile reports are provided in a customisable printed or digital format. The lab also offers science-based Light Performance grading, measuring brilliance, sparkle, fire and light symmetry, which they say objectively assesses the beauty of the diamond and adds value beyond the 4 Cs.”

Sarine added that the lab will also offer a new service for retailers -- the Diamond Journey report. This customised report “tracks the life of the diamond from rough to polished, illustrating the unique transformation from rough to polished diamond”, the Company explained.

Sarine CEO David Block commented: “We are very excited to be launching this state-of-the-art facility at the Israel diamond centre during the International Diamond Week. This event affords an unparalleled opportunity to display our capabilities to diamond professionals and retailers from around the world. We look forward to a very exciting event.”

IDWI Chairman Ezra Boaron said, “Sarine Technologies have made a huge contribution to the diamond world. We are proud that the company originated here in the Israel diamond centre and we are pleased to continue this relationship. The Israel Diamond Exchange is committed to promoting technological innovation to ensure the future success of the industry.”
