It was revealed in a recent report that GSI recently detected synthetic white sapphire melee during a routine jewellery screening. GSI\u2019s New York Screening and Testing Department received diamond pendants for screening and found the \u201cdiamonds\u201d to be near-colourless synthetic white sapphires. These stones ranged from .01 -.10 points and were set next to natural diamonds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis finding is a great example of the extraordinary work the team at GSI is doing for the screening and detection of undisclosed lab-grown diamonds and simulants,\u201d said Debbie Azar, president & co-founder of GSI. \u201cWhat makes this finding unusual and very atypical was the use of melee-sized synthetic white sapphires.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhile the industry has taken considerable steps to address this issue, the problem still persists\u201d said Ms. Azar. \u201cWe continue to identify undisclosed lab grown diamonds and simulants in jewellery on a daily basis in all our global facilities.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
