Sarin Adds New GIA Cut Grading System
May 17, 05
Sarin Technologies says it will soon incorporate the new GIA cut grading system in its DiaVision product for grading and re-cutting polished diamonds and in Advisor, its rough diamond planning software.
The company said in a statement that the new programs will work on most of Sarin’s existing machines with only a software upgrade.
According to the GIA, the new cut grading system is the result of several years of research on the way light behaves within diamonds and the relation between diamond proportions and their appearance.
One of the conclusions of this research, implemented in the new grading system, is that diamonds of different appearance may still yield a top cut grade, allowing for higher potential rough yield for manufacturers, while providing the necessary flexibility to diamond traders and retailers who need to accommodate changing market needs.
