GemEx Systems, EGL USA to Provide New Grading Service

GemEx Systems and EGL USA have teamed up to provide a combined diamond grading report to customers, including jewelry consumers, wholesalers and retailers.

The combined report will evaluate, identify and certify both the 4Cs of a diamond, provided by EGL USA, as well as its light performance, GemEx’s specialty. The new service will be available starting next month.

The companies said they have joined forces in an attempt to provide the fine jewelry trade with a tool for the marketing of fine diamonds.

The GemEx computerized BrillianceScope, which uses a patented spectrophotometer technology, measures a diamond’s level of brilliance, fire and sparkle.

It then rates the diamond from low to very high on each of these three measures compared to other diamonds of the same shape in GemEx’s database of more than 630,000 diamonds.

Meanwhile, EGL USA’s part of the service - the grading report - will provide gemstone identification and certification of the diamond.
