Sarine Extends Traceability to Melee Diamonds
October 04, 23
(IDEX Online) - Sarine is introducing a traceability solution for melee diamonds.
The Israel-based diamond tech company is expanding its existing technology to cover the smaller stones (generally under 0.2-cts) widely used in jewelry settings.
"To guarantee responsible sourcing of melee and enhance consumer confidence, we specifically aim to enhance the certainty regarding the diamonds' provenance, by establishing a verifiable documented link between the rough diamonds and their origin and the polished stones used in the jewellery piece," the company said.
Sarine partnered with diamond supplier Rubel & Menasche, to develop and test its new, data-backed verifiable traceability system, which scales up its tried and tested Journey technology to handle large quantities of small stones. Parcels are initially registered on the Autoscan Plus system.
Rubel & Menasche described the new technology as an "important milestone". David Block, Sarine's CEO, said: "This initiative reaffirms our commitment to a more transparent diamond industry."
